  • Patent number: 5011872
    Abstract: A thermal conductive polymer composition comprising a mixture of a polymer and a thermally conductive filler material, said filler material having a median particle size of between about 130 to 260 microns and a size distribution characterized by the formula: ##EQU1## where % represents the wt. % of the particles below or above the median particle size and M represents the median particle size in microns.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 1989
    Date of Patent: April 30, 1991
    Assignee: The Carborudum Company
    Inventors: Carol A. Latham, Michael F. McGuiggan
  • Patent number: 4857159
    Abstract: The process of the present invention for the recovery of metal ions from a polymeric chelating agent stream or solution comprises the circulation of a loaded polymeric chelating agent stream or solution through an electrolytic recovery cell. The chelating agent is loaded with metal ions or complexes of the species to be recovered which have been extracted from a feed stream or solution. These metal ions or complexes will be reduced and recovered from the chelating polymer by an electrodeposition method. If the chelating agent is used in a continuous flow-type system, the lean polymeric chelating agent can optionally be recycled for further use in extraction of the desired metal species. The addition of scrub and regeneration stages to such a system is optional, depending on feed stream composition.
