Interesting Opportunities in the Field of Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Systems exist the manufacture of finished commercial articles. An important part of research operations is mill size Bauer double disk refiner (above) which processes pulp screenings into useful pulp. The institute's full time staff is 168, 131 beinti technical and scientific personnel. Currently participating in the thesis program are 2 2 graduate students. Operating budget for 1 9 5 8 - 5 9 is $1.5 million, SI million coming from Maintaining Member Company assessments. $100,000 as a continuing grant from the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, and the rest from sponsored research contracts and testing and consulting services.
Straight-chain Cis to C...» olefins with the unsaturation between t h e 1 and 2 carbon atoms come from the dehydration o f purified fatty alcohols of known com position and chain length. They attain final purities better than 9 0 ^ . T h e s e slender, straight molecules have remark able metal-wetting properties.They form completely different products than ole fins with side chains previously avail able. T h e y generally react smoothly be cause of their known structure. W h e n reacted, their derivatives are more stable against oxidation than those of the branched chain (petroleum-derived) ole fins. They resist break-down under shear or moderately high temperatures. There's much more you should know about alpha olefins. Write us. We can send literature, data sheets . . . perhaps even a sample to evaluate.
