Abstract: The present disclosure provides various characteristics of a method for the production of an ultra-pure zinc bromide and zinc chloride fluid blend in a reactor system, having reduced metal impurities for the use in battery electrolyte blends, by reacting chlorine with a mixture of zinc bromide and zinc. The method disclosed can be used in continuous flow or batch processing and uses a zinc bromide to aqueous solution as catalyst in a reaction with chlorine. Chlorine, whether in liquid or gas form, added into a reactor at a controlled rate reacts with bromide to generate bromine in a much faster rate that when the zinc bromide to aqueous solution would not be present. Any un-reacted zinc is then filtered out which will ultimately result in the ultra-pure zinc bromide and zinc chloride fluid blend.

Abstract: An adhesive composition comprising a first part comprising an epoxy resin and a second part comprising a multifunctional amine package. The multifunctional amine package comprises bis(hexamethylene)triamine and a synergist. The amine concentration is at least 10% less than the epoxy resin concentration and the adhesive composition demonstrates a sag resistance of greater than 40 mm.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are drilling fluid compositions suitable for use, for example, in drilling a well bore through a subterranean formation and other oil and gas operations. The drilling fluid compositions of the present disclosure include the condensation product of a trifunctional amine and a fatty acid and an oil base fluid. The present disclosure also described processes for preparing drilling fluid compositions.

Abstract: Provided herein are antistripping compositions which may be used, for example, as additives to bitumen compositions such as asphalt concrete to prevent or reduce susceptibility to water damage. In particular, the antistripping compositions of the present disclosure have a triamine component and a nitrile component. Also provided herein are bitumen compositions, such as asphalt, having a portion of the described antistripping compositions as an additive.

Abstract: A method of removing from a surface a solid sulfur-containing impurity composition comprising a sulfur-containing compound, the method comprising the step of dissolving sulfur-containing compound in the sulfur-containing impurity composition with a nitrile compound to form a treated sulfur-containing impurity composition comprising less than 99.5 wt % sulfur-containing compound, based on the total weight of the treated sulfur-containing impurity composition.

Abstract: An antistripping composition, comprising a first triamine compound or a second amine compound, and less than 1 wt % of a nitrile compound. When the antistripping composition is used in a bitumen composition, the bitumen composition demonstrates 50% or more retained coating as measured according to AASHTO T 283 (2022), and a tensile strength ratio of at least 80% when measured according to ASTM D 3625 (2020).
