Generally, compositions which can be applied to hair, fur or skin of an animal and are useful for reducing, removing or eliminating undesirable materials or odors or parasites ('extraneous matter') from the hair, fur or skin of the animal. Specifically, compositions which can be applied to hair, fur or skin of an animal and can reduce, remove or eliminate undesirable materials or odors or parasites ('extraneous matter') from the hair, fur or skin of the animal without a need of a rinse composition.

Compositions to treat surfaces to affect materials deposited on such surfaces and methods of treating surfaces with such compositions to affect such deposition materials.

Composition and method for treating surfaces

A process for reducing sulfate ion concentrations in an alkali metal halide brine to be electrolyzed in an electrolytic cell comprises feeding the alkali metal halide brines to a reaction zone containing a slurry of gypsum crystals having a concentration of at least 5 weight percent of solids to form a brine-containing slurry. An aqueous solution of a brine soluble calcium salt is admixed with the brine-containing slurry in an amount sufficient to reduce the sulfate ion concentration to a desired level. The brine-containing slurry is agitated at a pumping velocity of at least about 1.0 meters per second to release solution supersaturation by gypsum crystal formation. A desulfated alkali metal halide brine having a reduced sulfate ion concentration is passed from the reaction zone to a settling zone, the residence time in the reaction zone being at least 30 minutes, the settling zone residence time based on rise rate to prevent crystal carryover being at least 10 feet per hour, and the desulfated alkali metal halide brine recovered.

Scale-free process for purifying concentrated alkali metal halide brines

A process for removing chlorate ions from an impure alkali metal chloride brine removed from an electrolytic cell comprises acidifying the impure brine to a pH of less than about 2. The acidified brine is then reacted with a reducing portion of hydrazine hydrochloride. The novel process rapidly reduces the chlorate ions in the absence of the formation of chlorine and chlorine dioxide gases and with the production of nitrogen gas as a product.

In a flowing mercury cathode electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of aqueous solutions there is provided an improved brine flow baffle insertable into the brine inlet trough.
