Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for minimizing the formation of insoluble salts of phenoxy herbicides. The method comprises (1) mixing a compatibility agent, amine salts of phenoxy acid herbicides, and a chemical containing non-amine cations in a aqueous system to form a stable and non-nozzle plugging solution; and (2) application of said stable and non-nozzle plugging solution onto target plants.

Abstract: There is disclosed a liquid concentrate herbicidal composition comprising:at least 15% by weight based on the total composition of N-phosphonomethylglycine or of a salt thereof or of a mixture of salts thereof (calculated as acid equivalent);a water-insoluble diphenyl ether type herbicide (oxyfluorfen or acifluorfen) in the ratio by weight of N-phosphonomethylglycine a.e. to diphenyl ether type herbicide of from about 10:1 to about 100:1;about 5 to about 25% by weight of a surface active component comprising a mixture of an alkoxylated fatty amine with a surfactant chemically different from the alkoxylated fatty amine;0 to about 10% by weight of solvent, the surface active component optionally with admixture of the solvent being capable of dissolving the diphenyl ether herbicide;about 1 to about 25% by weight of a compatibility agent; andwater if necessary to total 100%.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition is provided which comprises: an aqueous solution of a herbicidally acceptable salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine; a quaternary ammonium compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein each A represents an alkylene group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently an alkyl or alkanol group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R.sup.3 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a group having the formula (AO).sub.m --H; n (in a compound in which R.sup.3 is an alkyl group) or n+m (in a compound in which R.sup.3 is a group having the formula (AO).sub.m --H), has a value of from 2 to 15; and X.sup.

Abstract: An improved process is described for the separation and recovery of substantially all the propane and heavier hydrocarbon components in a hydrocarbon gaseous feedstream. In this process, the vapor stream from a deethanizer is cooled to liquefaction and contacted with a vapor phase from the hydrocarbon gaseous feedstream. The contact takes place within a direct heat exchanger, and the resulting vapor fraction, which is essentially ethane and methane, is the gaseous product of the process.
