The new semiworks unit will turn on: several million pounds.year of the new beta-amines after it goes onstream at M cCook. 111., in March '67. The products malting the lab-ioplant transition diner in several re spects from corweruional fatty amines sold by Armour and a number of mbs; proaucers. Thc-v are derived from petroleum-based materials rather than from naturally occurring raw mate rials, and are made by a new catalytic process '.patents have been applied for m :ae U .S. and abroad). The new route gives a saturated long-cham hydrocarbon containing an amine or diamine group on an interior caroon atom -- predominantly at the beia position. Conventional products alpha-amines. e beta-amines have greater liquidsolvency and stability than do .ytlpha-amines. Like alpha-amines they :,,m strongly cationic surface-active agents. They are expected to show cost advantages when used in competitive applications. Large-scale mm are anticipated in the oaoer. petroleum, plstico rubber, textil:-. metalworking, paint, veci and pesticides industries. IvicCoride de clares that fatty nitrogen chemicals are now a SlOO-rniihon year industry, and concludes, "The beta-amine break through. we feel, opens up an equally big new business field."

The amines are dubbed Armeens L-7, L-9, L - l l and L -5, the number indicating the number of carbon atoms in (he chain. The diamines are Duomeens L - l l and L-15.

Several Switches: Osipovas and Rosenblatt's method incorporates sev eral changes from earlier sugar-using processes. The big switch is in avoid ance of a solvent in order to bring together the sugar and `'tallowate'1 reactants. The new process employs a sol vent for the sugar, but its twist is to form a transparent emulsion of the tallowate-- making the tallow product into droplets smaller in diameter 'W w man one-quarter the wave lei.cam m lights.

Prod ucts having chain lengths varying from C c to C :o will sell for 14^/lb. under G u lf's new schedule. The same tag will apply to any combination of Ge-Cbo fractions as well as to the CG-Cso fraction. Previous prices of individual olefins and fractions ranged as high as 25c/'lb. No change, however, was made in the 6.25/lb. price for C 4 product. Commercial application of alpha-olefins in detergents, polymers and specialty chemicals is expected to be stimulated by the new price cut. Intensive developmental work is already under way on alkenyl sulfonate detergents derived from alpha-olefins. Alkenyl sulfonates may ultimately compete on a price-performance basis with linear alkylate sulfonate, now the major household surfactant (C W Market Newsletter. April 3 0 ).

The House of Representatives is now considering legislation that would release 24.5 million lbs. of nickel through the General Services Administration. Metal finishers are feadul that the bid disposal would duplicate the difficulties that arose when cadmium was sold two years ago. The association charges that relatively little cadmium reached the metal-plating business, although large lots were acquired by speculators. The metal finishers are urging Congress to restrict the nickel disposal to users in the U .S ., prohibit resale and to restrict distribution to domestic nickel producers and established distributors. In addition, sale at the prevailing market price (rather than bid selling) is suggested. N ickel scarcity has forced some shops to purchase nickel from black-market sources at twice the normal 80ck$l/Tb. price. 79 h; an assurance to you of our dependability as a supplier.

Pressures of centrifugal compressors keep moving up. Nuevo Pignone (Florence. Italy) has successfully completed a three-week continuous test run under industrial conditions with its new Model 2 B C L 306. b operat ing at 290 kg./sq.cm. (4,125 psi.). Ordered by Norsk-Hydro (Oslo, N or way), the compressor was operated on synthesis gas (hydrogen and mitogen) at the A N IC ammonia plant at Ravenna, Italy. While compressor manufac turers have had the ability to design special centrifugal units for pressures up to 5,000 psi. (CW, May 9, T9, p. 106), most units operating at pressures this high have been reciprocating type. One reason: tremendous volume of gas moved by centrifugals were not needed. Decisions to build gient am monia plants provided the break for centrifugals, although most of the big plants required synthesis gas compressed to only 2,000-2,500 psi. Under these conditions centrifugal compressors became the economic choice (CW, Oct. 9, '65, p. 79). 29 /TiTHS PF ACTIC / OF M U LU N O I @ <00 # iO O 0000 0000 # 0 0 >000 O O I i g O O O i 0 0 o o OCAS O 0 0 - 3 5 0 O I O O , OO 03 O a 0 0 O O O A 0 0 'fe(I) i. . * 1FA i . -J u M U M D A s ITUlF of r i g . .

Dr. Arm ar Scherbe'- U the Cleveland C D d :. wD: 'do' be m m " a thorough remew of DM.30---mhistory, the proUcms that leu to the discontinuation of testing, and what we can do to get it hack into clinical testing." A thorough review of D M SO is a big order. During the three years since the first reports of its extraordinary' behavior in living organisms. D M SO has been the subject of considerable controversy and considerable bally hoo. It has also been credited with an almost unbelievable spectrum of medicinal actions-- from relieving Headaches and alleviating schizophren ia symptoms in humans, to enhancing the erficacy of antibiotic and nutrient materials applied to fruit trees. The singular property of D M SO is Rs ability to pass through biological membranes: it can be applied extern a l' hen penetrate deep into the fio. ,f an organism. For example, doctors have reported successful treat ment of the pain of bursitis or rheu matism simply by swabbing D M SO onto the skin near the affected joint. Moreover, D M S O seems able to carry other substances with *it as it courses through living tissues. Finally, the permeating action of D M SO seems to he completely reversible-- i.e., there is no permanent effect on membranes once the D M S O has passed through them. Ail of this was noted by the men who did the initial resettreh on D M SO : Stanley Jacob, a surgeon on the faculty of the University of Ore gon Medical School; and Robert HerWbe;- of Crcvo: Zeilerbach Oorp.'s than Francisco; Research Center at Camas.

Titanium readily with stands the severe corrosive attack of ammonia, ammonium chloride and hot brine.

After an intensive metals eval uation program Allied specified titani um tubes in ammonia recovery on a .company-wide basis.

These iocked-in positions, once established by initial magnetization, are held until acted upon by forces exceeding these iocked-in forces. "Coercive force" of a magnet reflects its resistance to de magnetization. A magnet's coercive force is meas ured in oersteds. In alnico magnets, -oercive force values are 400-1,800 oersteads; in ceramics, 2,000-4,000. a-.Gauss is the unit term for residual nduction, on a square inch basis max" denotes peak energy prod uct.
