Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the uniform distribution of a small amount of liquid on bulk materials. The method is performed by spraying the liquid with at least one ultrasonic nozzle onto the bulk material, which is finely particulate. The spraying may occur before, during, or both before and during, mixing the particulate solid in a mixing apparatus. Dust may be significantly reduced by the apparatus of the instant invention, and the apparatus is useful for applying not only liquids, but emulsions, solutions, dispersions, or melts. The mixer may be mechanical or pneumatic.

Abstract: If highly concentrated aqueous solutions of azo dyes are prepared directly by diazotization and coupling reactions, appreciable difficulties generally result as a consequence of the fact that the diazotization and coupling reactions give rise to viscous phases which lead to stirring problems in the reaction apparatus used, which in turn results in an incomplete synthesis. The novel process for preparing concentrated aqueous dye solutions of an anionic dye in an aqueous medium overcomes this disadvantage by carrying out the diazotization of the aromatic amine diazo component and/or the coupling reaction between the diazonium salt and the coupling component in the presence of an auxiliary which exerts a viscosity-reducing effect on pasty phases. Examples of such auxiliaries are optionally alkyl-substituted naphthalenesulfonic acid-formaldehyde condensation products, ligninsulfonates, polyacrylates and copolymers of maleic anhydride and methacrylic acid or acrylic acid.
