Abstract: A process for removal of adsorbable organic chlorine (AOX) in which the acid-soluble AOX present in kraft chlorination (C.sub.D) effluents are destablized and converted to inorganic chloride by pH shift using the alkalinity and acidity sources available at the mill; C.sub.D effluent, typically having a pH of 1-2 and E.sub.1 effluent, typically having a pH of 9-12 can be mixed in various proportions to achieve a pH between 6.5-9.0 or the C.sub.D effluent is adjusted in pH to 6-11 with an alkaline composition so taht alkaline hydrolysis as well as precipitation of organic material occurs and the treated effluent contains less AOX than present in the original untreated effluents; the AOX removal is enhanced substantially by (i) the presence of a sulphide or (ii) by carrying out the alkaline treatment at elevated temperature and pressure.

Abstract: There is provided a curable anaerobic pressure sensitive adhesive composition, a mixture of a curable anaerobic system and a high molecular weight polymer system. The mixture which may include a tackifier and other functional additives constitutes a pressure sensitive adhesive and exhibits elastomeric properties. There is also provided in the composition an initiator systemnecessary to permit curing of the anaerobic pressure sensitive composition upon activation by the exclusion of oxygen. One or more accelerators for cure may also be provided.In one embodiment a component of the catalyst system may be either absent and provided later or latently present in microspheres which upon rupture will enhance the curing operation.

Abstract: There are provided curable anaerobic pressure sensitive adhesive stocks in the form of sheets and tapes in which the adhesive is contained between two differential release surfaces. This construction permits total pressure sensitive adhesive transfer to a substrate which is to be firmly secured to another substrate upon the exclusion of oxygen and initiation of cure of the anaerobic resin.The compositions are those, based on the total weight of the composition, containing from about 4 to about 40 percent by weight of a first anaerobic resin having a viscosity up to about 1000 cps at 25.degree. C from 0 to about 80 percent by weight of a second anaerobic resin having a viscosity greater than about 1000 cps at 25.degree. C, from about 9 to 95 percent by weight of a thermoplastic resin system, from 0 to about 10 percent of a latent accelerator and about 0.1 to about 10 percent of a hydroperoxide catalyst, the composition having static shear at 0.25 in.sup.
