Abstract: The present invention provides an electrolytic device and apparatus comprising the same, where the electrolytic device includes a means for generating a first gas stream that is enriched with a first gas. In particular, the electrolytic device of the invention comprises a first tubular electrode and a second tubular electrode that is coaxially located within the first tubular electrode. The second tubular electrode comprises a plurality of orifices that is adapted to producing a first gas stream that is enriched with a first gas.

Abstract: A container for transporting goods and materials includes a container body constructed of fiber or metal and a polymeric coating applied to the interior of the container body, the exterior thereof, or both such surfaces. The container may include a closure assembly adapted to secure a cover to the container body. A substrate suitable for use in the construction of containers for storing goods and materials includes a single fiber layer or multiple laminated and adhesively joined fiber layers forming a structure having a first side and a second side. The polymeric coating is bonded to the first side, the second side, or both sides to form the substrate. The fiber layer may be formed in the shape of various storage containers either before or after coating with the polymeric coating. A method for forming a substrate for use as a storage container is also disclosed.

Abstract: The closure assembly (16) is used to secure a cover (14) to an open-ended container (10) such as a drum. The container (10) includes a container body (12) having an open end (18) with a rim (20). The closure assembly (16) includes a split ring member (28) having a cross-section configured to cooperate with the cover (14) and the rim (20) of the container body (12). A locking device (50) co-acts with the split ring member (28) to secure the split ring member (28) to the cover (14) and the rim (20) of the container body (12) and effect a seal between the cover (14) and container body (12). A polymeric coating (60) is applied to at least an inward-facing side of the split ring member (28) that contacts the cover (14) and the rim (20) of the container body (12).
