  • Patent number: 9896334
    Abstract: A process for purification of hydrofluoric acid reduces the content of heavy metals, including arsenic, to values lower than five parts per million, without using any chemicals and with an integrated design of hot and cold streams that provide low energy consumption. The process allows extraction of heavy metals, especially arsenic, with minimal waste generation and while maintaining an original oxidation state, which for the case of arsenic is +3, so that the residue can he converted into a product with commercial value, such as arsenious acid. The process includes operation of four systems, namely, a hydrofluoric acid purification system, an arsenic concentration system, a hot water system, and a cold water system. The extraction of heavy metals is performed by synchronized operations of these four systems.

  • Publication number: 20140234201
    Abstract: Chlorous acid is generated from a chlorite salt precursor, a chlorate salt precursor, or a combination of both by ion exchange. The ion exchange material facilitates the generation of chlorous acid by simultaneously removing unwanted cations from solution and adding hydrogen ion to solution. Chlorine dioxide is generated in a controlled manner from chlorous acid by catalysis. Chlorine dioxide can be generated either subsequent to the generation of chlorous acid or simultaneously with the generation of chlorous acid. For catalysis of chlorous acid to chlorine dioxide, the chlorous acid may be generated by ion exchange or in a conventional manner. Ion exchange materials are also used to purify the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions, without causing degradation of said solutions, to exchange undesirable ions in the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions with desirable ions, such as stabilizing ions, and to adjust the pH of chlorous acid and Chlorine dioxide solutions.

  • Patent number: 7889842
    Abstract: The invention relates to a crystalline lithium fluoride doped with at least 0.018 mol per kg of a divalent positive ion M present in the fluoride state, in particular of the single-crystal type. The ion may be Mg2+, Zn2+ or Co2+. This fluoride has a high reflectivity and intense radiation that can emanate therefrom may be effectively received by a fast light scintillator, especially of the rare-earth halide type. It is particularly useful as a monochromator for X-ray fluorescence radiation for the purpose of elemental analysis.

  • Patent number: 7851577
    Abstract: A cationic polymerization process for isoolefins using a zinc halide initiator. The zinc halide initiator is added to a solution of the isoolefin in a suitable solvent, preferably a halocarbon solvent. Polymerization reactions are normally conducted at temperatures high enough to allow the zinc halide initiator to dissolve in the solution. An alkyl halide activator may optionally be used and is preferably added to the solution prior to the zinc halide initiator. A multiolefin may optionally be present in the solution. The process is particularly useful in the formation of isoolefin homopolymers and co-polymers of isoolefins and multiolefins, such as butyl rubber.

  • Patent number: 7824556
    Abstract: Chlorous acid is generated from a chlorite salt precursor, a chlorate salt precursor, or a combination of both by ion exchange. The ion exchange material facilitates the generation of chlorous acid by simultaneously removing unwanted cations from solution and adding hydrogen ion to solution. Chlorine dioxide is generated in a controlled manner from chlorous acid by catalysis. Chlorine dioxide can be generated either subsequent to the generation of chlorous acid or simultaneously with the generation of chlorous acid. For catalysis of chlorous acid to chlorine dioxide, the chlorous acid may be generated by ion exchange or in a conventional manner. Ion exchange materials are also used to purify the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions, without causing degradation of said solutions, to exchange undesirable ions in the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions with desirable ions, such as stabilizing ions, and to adjust the pH of chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide solutions.

    Abstract: The invention is a method of producing stable chlorous acid for use as a cleaning agent and biocidal composition. The method passes a salt of an oxy-chloro acid over a resin to allow for an ion exchange that produced the oxy-chloro acid. The invention allows for the production of a stable chlorous acid that can be used as a biocidal agent and a cleaning agent without the effect on many surfaces or membranes as normal oxy-chloro compositions.
