20100324340 | SHORT CHAIN POLYETHER POLYOLS PREPARED FROM ULTRA-LOW WATER-CONTENT STARTERS VIA DMC CATALYSIS - The present invention provides a process for the polyoxyalkylation of a starter involving establishing oxyalkylation conditions in an oxyalkylation reactor in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst, continuously introducing into the reactor at least one alkylene oxide and an acidified, ultra-low water content starter, in which the starter contains greater than about 100 ppm and less than or equal to about 500 ppm water, based on the weight of the starter, and recovering an oxyalkylated low molecular weight starter polyether product. The inventive process allows the production of short chain polyether polyols which have hydroxyl numbers of from greater than 250 up to about 500, from hygroscopic initiators, such as glycerin, without DMC catalyst deactivation. | 12-23-2010 |

20100258660 | Method of Grinding a Mineral Containing Ore - A method of grinding a mineral-containing ore, which includes grinding the mineral-containing ore in a primary milling process and thereafter fine grinding the mineral-containing ore in a secondary ball-mill. A composite grinding medium comprising a mixture of steel balls and pebbles is used in the secondary ball-mill. The pebbles have an average size which is relatively smaller than the average size of the balls. The grinding medium includes an optimum mixture of approximately 25% pebbles and 75% steel balls by volume. The pebbles have a hardness which is substantially equivalent to or relatively harder than the hardness of the mineral-containing ore. The use of the composite grinding medium including the optimum mixture of steel balls and pebbles results in significant savings in energy consumption together with a reduction in ball consumption. | 10-14-2010 |
