re-refining makes quality oils

a re-refining process is described that effectively removes contaminants from used automotive lubricating oil and returns the oil to a quality equivalent to oils produced from virgin stocks. this process incorporates a solvent precipitation step to reduce coking and fouling in the subsequent fractional distillation. blending and formulati..

chemical modification of polymers with flame-retardant compounds

this comprehensive, literature-based, review of the fireproofing of natural and synthetic polymers and related products is presented in 13 parts. they include $em dash$ introduction, definition of terms (thermal degradation and combustion, chemical modification, polymer flammability, test procedures); scope of the review; pyrolysis, therm..

effect of toxaphene, camphene, and cedar oil on methyl parathion residues on cotton

for many years methyl parathion (mp) has been the major insecticide applied to cotton in the united states. often, mp has been applied in combination with toxaphene (tox) and evidence has been obtained that mp:tox combinations are more effective than mp alone for the control of helliothis pests of cotton. it is possible that the major pre..

mechanisms of degradation of cotton and effects of mercerization-stretching upon the course of these mechanisms - 5 weathering

in the reported experiments, scoured ply cotton yarn was slack mercerized by its restretching to 90-103 of the original length in the mercerizing solution. the scoured and the mercerized cotton yarns were subjected to weathering for up to 14 months. regardless of the cotton substrates, exposure to weathering was accompanied by an increase..

what is byssinosis? $em dash$ a review

the pattern of the disease we now know as byssinosis has been established over the years in medical literature. it is not the same as mill fever, mattress-maker's fever, or weaver's cough, which are caused by contaminated batches of fiber. it is distinguishable from bronchitis in its earlier stages, and some disabled byssinotics may never..

in the reported experiments, twenty-six volunteers with normal pulmonary function were exposed to cotton dust in a model card room $left double quote$ standard $right double quote$ cotton was harvested and prepared for carding in the usual manner. $left double quote$ closed-boll $right double quote$ (cb) cotton was harvested before the bo..

washed cotton $em dash$ manufacture, properties, and processing $em dash$ 2. textile plant experience

in the reported trial, appproximately 6,000 pounds (2,722 kg) of cotton that had been washed in lap form with 66 $degree$ c water were processed into 100 cotton and 50/50 cotton/polyester open-end and ring-spun yarns at normal production rates and woven into fabrics. the performance of the washed cotton was not as good as the unwashed cot..
