Abstract: A condom applicator (10) is disclosed which comprises a base (12) with a split line (18) across it and two flaps (14) which are connected by flimsy hinges to the base (12). Tubs (16) protrude from the flap (14). The base (12) includes two generally parallel walls (24, 28) and a base (26) which bound a trough (22). The trough receives the hem ring of a condom. There is an opening in the base which is encircled by the inner wall (24). When the flaps (14) are folded over, areas (44) of the flaps (14) cover the trough leaving a gap (G) between the wall (24) and the area (44). The tubs (16) span across said opening. The teat of the condom lies across the opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of alkali metal phosphate solutions free of zinc, from phosphoric acid solutions contaminated with zinc. To this end, feed solution is admixed with alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate so as to establish in the resulting suspension a pH-value within the range 8 to 14. Next, resulting suspension is reacted under pressure and with thorough agitation with H.sub.2 S or an alkali metal sulfide solution; and decontaminated alkali metal phosphate solution is separated from solid matter, the pressure being maintained.
