International Classification:

B01D 1504
B01D 5302

US Classification:

210679

Abstract:

A process for the removal of water and other polar compounds from an acidic stream containing water and at least one acid compound comprising contacting the acidic stream with an adsorbent comprising a chabazite-type zeolite wherein said adsorbent has a M. sub. 2 O/Al. sub. 2 O. sub. 3 mole oxide ratio of at least 0. 5 where "M" is at least one cation selected from the group consisting of potassium, rubidium and cesium.

Appl. No.:

6/801586

Inventors:

Ronald J. Ross - Upper Nyack NY
John D. Sherman - Chappaqua NY

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C01B 3328

US Classification:

423328

Abstract:

A process is provided for achieving a high degree of exchange for zeolites, e. g. , Zeolites F and W. After preparation of the ammonium form, the zeolite is contacted with a solution containing the desired metal cation while simultaneously maintaining the pH at between about 9. 0 and 12. 0 to provide a final product zeolite wherein the desired metal cation will correspond to at least about 0. 5 of the total zeolitic cations.

Filed:

Nov 15, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/742062

Inventors:

John D. Sherman - Chappaqua NY
Ronald J. Ross - Upper Nyack NY

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B01J 2906
B01J 3500

US Classification:

252455Z

Abstract:

Zeolite agglomerates in which the distribution of capillary pores is modified to enhance the number of pores in the diameter range of from 2 to 100 microns are found to have a greatly improved ability to release adsorbed CO. sub. 2 into liquid media in a manner which favors both a high rate of desorption and a high degree of solubility of the desorbate gases in the liquid media. The agglomerates are particularly useful for the carbonation of an aqueous medium.

Appl. No.:

6/672350

Inventors:

Anthony J. Gioffre - Ridgefield CT
Ronald J. Ross - Upper Nyack NY

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C11D 1700
C11D 702

US Classification:

252 891

Abstract:

Effervescent compositions are provided having an effervescent and cleansing action. The effervescent compositions are formed from an essentially anhydrous base medium and an inorganic oxide material containing an adsorbed gas. Upon contact of the composition with water an effervescent action occurs as the gas is desorbed from the inorganic oxide material.

US Patent:

Filed:

Apr 30, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/516206

Inventors:

Ronald D. Ross - Highland Park NJ

International Classification:

G01N 3072

US Classification:

73 2337

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are provided for conducting sequential condensed and vapor phase spectroscopic studies. The apparatus includes a vacuum manifold including a series of interconnected conduits forming a sealed chamber for containing a sample undergoing analysis. The vacuum manifold includes a collection/deposition station and a spectroscopy/revaporization station connected together by a transfer conduit. Ports in the vacuum manifold at the collection/deposition station connect the chamber to a vacuum pumping system and a chromatograph separates a sample to be tested into individual chemical compounds. A collection tube with a mechanism providing transport between stations is contained within the vacuum manifold. At the collection/deposition station, a separated compound from the chromatograph is deposited on a deposition surface of a collection tube. The tube is then shuttled for spectro analysis at the spectroscopy/revaporization station where ports allow the deposited sample to be subjected to a beam of electromagnetic radiation from an appropriate source.

International Classification:

C02F 142

US Classification:

210670

Abstract:

Ammonium ions are selectively removed from aqueous solutions containing calcium cations by cation exchange with natural or synthetic zeolites of the phillipsitegismondite type, which possess unusual capacity and selectivity for the ammonium ion.

International Classification:

A61K 716

US Classification:

424 44

Abstract:

Dentifrice compositions are provided having an effervescent and cleansing action. The dentifrice compositions are formed from an essentially anhydrous dentifrice base medium and an inorganic oxide material containing an adsorbed gas. Upon contact of the dentifrice composition with water, an effervescent action occurs as the gas is desorbed from the inorganic oxide material.
