Abstract: The fuel is fed centrally into a fire tube (3), where it is mixed with combustion air in a combustion zone. The air exits through first and second air line nozzles (4 or 5) which are arranged in two directly adjoining rows (6, 7) and inclined in the direction of counterflow at an angle of 60° to the axis of the fire tube. The distance (x) between the fuel nozzle (9) and the openings of the first air line nozzles (4) is 0.70 times the diameter of the fire tube. In addition, the second air line nozzles (5) extend into the fire tube by a distance (y) which is 0.17 times the diameter of the fire tube. The total cross-section of the second air line nozzles (5) is 0.6 times that of the first air line nozzles (4). A highly turbulent toroidal eddy forms inside the fire tube (3) which generates a very homogeneous mixture across the cross-section of said fire tube (3). This results in lower NOx values and even temperature distribution already inside the fire tube.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a diacylated 4-imidazolin-2-one of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and alkoxy, which comprises contacting a compound of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the previously assigned significance with a source of chlorine at a temperature from 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. in the presence of a radical forming agent or under ultra-violet light and thereafter dehydrohalogenating or dehalogenating the resultant chlorinated product.The diacylated 4-imidazolin-2-ones prepared by the process are useful for photochemical cycloadditions and as intermediates for the preparation of compounds in the biotin series.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or an acyl radical are prepared by chlorinating 3-acyl-oxazolidin-2-ones, followed by dehydrochlorination and optionally by saponification and reacylation. The compounds are useful as starting material for substitution and addition reactions and as vinyl monomers in homo- and copolymerizations, whereby oxazolidin-2-one rings containing polymers are formed. These polymers can be used as antistatic agents, dyeing auxiliaries and ion exchangers.

Abstract: Geminal dihalides are prepared by reacting a non-enolizable aldehyde and/or ketone with phosgene or thionyl chloride in the presence of an organyl-phosphorus compound of 3-valent and/or 5-valent phosphorus.
