Abstract: A process for removing at least a portion of any iron, copper, nickel and chromium ions that are chelated by a alkylenepolyamine polyacetic acid or salt in an aqueous liquid waste. The process comprises the steps of (a) adjusting the pH of the liquid to above about 10; (b) adding sufficient sodium sulfide to react with at least a portion of the copper ions; (c) separating precipitated iron and copper compounds; (d) adding nitric acid to adjust the pH to the range of about 6 to 8; (e) adding sufficient sodium nitrite to the liquid to react with at least a portion of the nickel and chromium present; (f) heating the liquid to above about 575.degree. F. for at least about 15 minutes to facilitate precipitation of nickel and chromium; and (g) separating precipitated solids to leave a non-hazardous filtrate.

Abstract: A self-erecting, coiled metal tube comprises a helically wound ribbon of spring material having an inside surface and an outside surface, the ribbon having adjacent turns stressed to coil in tight overlapping and telescoping engagement, and a textured surface formed on the outside surface of the ribbon so that when the ribbon is extended, the textured surface of an underlapped turn of ribbon bears against the inner surface of an overlapped turn of ribbon to create friction between the adjacent turns of ribbon and control the length of extension of the ribbon tube and strengthen the tube.

Abstract: Methods for removing deposits from surfaces in wood pulp processing apparatus are provided wherein the deposits are contacted with compositions comprised of aqueous solutions of alkali metal hypochlorites.

Abstract: Asphaltic material is dissolved by contact with a solvent composition for a time sufficient to dissolve the asphaltic material wherein the solvent composition is comprised of a liquid heavy aromatic solvent having a high flash point and a fused heterocyclic ring compound or compounds soluble in the heavy aromatic solvent. In another embodiment, the asphaltic material is the binder material of a degraded organic residue whereby dissolution of the asphaltic material enables the convenient disintegration of the degraded organic residue. In still another embodiment, the solvent composition is the oil phase of an oil-water emulsion.
