Abstract: Novel N-chloroamide polymers and a process for the production thereof are disclosed.

Abstract: Aqueous solutions of polyacrylamides are acidified and then reacted with halogen gas or hypohalites to provide N-halogenated polymers. The product of the process are good wet strength additives for paper made from aqueous pulps of paper making fibers.

Abstract: Derivatives of alkoxy, aryloxy and alkene isothiocyanates are produced by the reaction of a haloformate, an alkali, alkaline earth metal, lead or ammonium thiocyanate and a compound having the formula R.sup.1 YH wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl, aryl or alkoxy, Y is oxygen, sulfur or NR.sup.2 and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or R.sup.1, in the presence of a solvent or water and a catalyst.

Abstract: New and improved collector compositions for use in froth flotation processes for the beneficiation of mineral values from base metal sulfide ores are disclosed. The collector compositions comprise at least one hydrocarboxycarbonyl thionocarbamate compound selected from compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each, independently, selected from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl radicals, alkyl polyether radicals and aromatic radicals, or such radicals optionally substituted by polar groups selected from halogen, nitrile and nitro groups. The use of the hydrocarboxycarbonyl thionocarbamate collectors provides excellent metallurgical recoveries of sulfide mineral values in froth flotation processes conducted over a broad range of pH conditions including acid, neutral and mildly alkaline pH.

The collector compositions comprise at least one hydrocarboxycarbonyl thiourea compound selected from compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or R.sup.2 ; R.sup.2 is selected from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl radicals, hydrocarboxy radicals and aromatic radicals; and R.sup.3 is selected from saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbyl radicals, alkyl polyether radicals and aromatic radicals, said R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 radicals, optionally, and independently, being substituted by polar groups selected from halogen, nitrile and nitro groups. The use of the hydrocarboxycarbonyl thiourea collectors provides excellent metallurgical recoveries of sulfide mineral values in froth flotation processes conducted over a very broad range of pH including acid, neutral and mildly alkaline pH.
