  • Process for the production of elemental material and alloys
    Patent number: 6955703
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of an elemental material, comprising the step of reacting a halide of the elemental material with a reducing agent in solid form in a fluidized bed reactor at a reaction temperature which is below the melting temperature of the reducing agent. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elemental material is titanium and the titanium is produced in powder form. The invention also relates to the production of alloys or intermetallics of the elemental materials.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of making elemental materials and alloys
    Publication number: 20040050208
    Abstract: A method of producing an elemental material or an alloy thereof from a halide or mixtures of halides is provided. The halide or mixtures thereof are contacted with a reducing gas in the presence of reductant material, preferably in sufficient quantity to convert the halide to the elemental material or alloy and to maintain the temperature of the reactants at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the reductant material at atmospheric pressure or the sintering temperature of the produced elemental material or alloy.

  • Isolation and determination of nitrosoamines
    Patent number: 4292040
    Abstract: A method of determining the content of polar-substituted alkyl nitrosoamines in a sample at levels as low as 20 nanograms in the presence of interfering substances such as nitrites and the like. After chromatographic separation, the nitrosoamine is reacted with reagent comprising hydrogen bromide, sulfanilamide, hydrochloric acid, surfactant and N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine to give a colored product.
