Abstract: The previously carried out internal coating of contact tubes not only required very much manual labor and was very time consuming, but it was also unsatisfactory in regard to adhesion of the contact liquid to the surface and homogenity of the catalyst. By the simultaneous action of heat on the liquid interface in the tubes during the lowering of the liquid level as well as by a specially suited apparatus for this purpose which operates according to the principle of communicating tubes there is provided the possibility of a good adhesion to the surface as well as the formation of a homogeneous layer at very little operating expense.

Abstract: Heat insulation mixtures are employed both in the form of compacts and in the form of loose ballast. Heat insulating materials which contain an opacifier and thereby are impervious to the radiation which occurs possess extraordinarily good insulating activity. By using quartz powder of a specific particle size spectrum as opacifier, there can be attained optimal insulating properties preferred at high temperatures of use. This type of heat insulating material can be produced by mixing the individual components. It can contain known filler components and binders.
