  • Publication number: 20240116810
    Abstract: The present application describes a process for the continuous production of alpha-calcium sulphate hemihydrate, the process comprising the steps of: providing particulate gypsum; providing water; mixing the particulate gypsum and the water to form a gypsum slurry; and maintaining said gypsum slurry under raised pressure and temperature to convert the particulate gypsum into alpha-calcium sulphate hemihydrate and provide an alpha-calcium sulphate hemihydrate slurry. Additionally, the particulate gypsum comprises a D10 value greater than or equal to 2 ?m, a D90 value smaller than or equal to 90 ?m and a D50 value smaller than or equal to 25 ?m. Particulate gypsum for use in the process is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11731461
    Abstract: This invention discloses a tire tread comprising: (a) a first tread cap layer comprising a first rubber composition; and (b) a second tread cap layer arranged radially inside of the first tread cap layer comprising a second rubber composition; wherein at 0° C. the rebound resilience of the first rubber composition is within a range of 10% to 25%, the rebound resilience of the second rubber composition is within a range of 15% to 35% and is at least 5% lower than that of the second rubber composition; and wherein at 100° C. the rebound resilience of the first rubber composition is within a range of 45% to 65%, the rebound resilience of the second rubber composition is within a range of 60% to 75% and is at least 3% higher than that of the first rubber composition.

  • Patent number: 9932681
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electrolytic cell for the production of aluminium by reducing alumina. The cell may comprise a sidewall including at least one side block. The side block may comprise an aluminous material having an apparent porosity of less than about 10% and a composition, as a weight percentage on the basis of the aluminous material and for a total of about 100%, such that: Al2O3>about 50%, beta-alumina being less than about 20% of the weight of the aluminous material, oxides that are less reducible than alumina at 1000° C.<about 50%, Na2O<about 3.9%, and other components<about 5%.

  • Patent number: 9593048
    Abstract: The invention relates to a melted and cast refractory product having a chemical composition such that, in mass percentages on the basis of the oxides: AI2O3: complement up to 100%; MgO: 26% to 50%; ZrO2: 0.5% to 10.0%; B2O3: <1.5%; SiO2: ?0.5%; Na2O+K2O: ?0.3%; CaO: ?1.0%; Fe2O3+TiO2: <0.55%; other oxide species: <1.0%. In said product, the elementary mass ratio R of the zirconium content to the total boron, fluorine and silicon content is between 2 and 80.

  • Patent number: 9352615
    Abstract: A tread for a pneumatic tire in accordance with the present invention includes a tread base layer, a first tread cap layer radially outside of the tread base layer, a second tread cap layer radially outside of the tread base layer and both radially outside and axially adjacent the first tread cap layer, a third intermediate layer radially between the tread base layer and the first and second tread cap layers. The first tread cap layer has a protrusion extending radially inward and into the third intermediate layer more than a main body of the first tread cap layer and the second tread cap layer thereby allowing the first tread cap layer to provide the overall tread with enhanced performance characteristics after the main body of the first tread cap layer and the second tread cap layer have worn away.
