Quinolin-2-yl benzoic acid compounds which are useful as intermediates of quinoline compounds having angiotensin II antagonist activity prepared by decarboxylating 2-(carboxyphenyl)-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid compounds in which a carboxyl group bonded to a phenyl group may be esterified, while a carboxyl group bonded to a quinoline ring is not esterified, and both rings may have one or more substituents inert to the decarboxylation reaction.

Process for producing 2-(carboxyphenyl)-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid

A quinoline compound represented by the formula (1) or a salt thereof: ##STR1## wherein the definition of each substituents are described in the specification, which have angiotensin II antagonism and hypotensive action and are useful as an agent for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases such as hypertension, heart failure and the like.

Process for producing various gases for semiconductor production

A hollow fiber membrane in which the pore size changes in such manner that it gradually decreases in the direction from the outside surface of the hollow fiber to the inside and the minimum pore size gradually increases toward the opening of the inside surface. The change in the pore size is also continuous.

Hollow fiber membrane

A new micro-porous membrane having a layer of minimum pores inside is disclosed. This membrane can be produced by a kind of dry-wet method in which a gas is in contact with the surface of the spread solution before it is immersed in a solidifying bath to form a coacervation phase only in the surface layer of the spread solution. It is quite important to control the amount of non-solvent for a utilized polymer contained in the gas as well as a blowing rate of the gas toward the above mentioned surface. The micro-porous membrane of the present invention not only has an improved filtration flow rate and life as a filter, but also the risk of being damaged by scratches is minimized.

Asymmetric micro-porous membrane containing a layer of minimum size

A fine porous membrane having a pore size distribution in the thickness direction and having a layer having a minimum pore size in the interior thereof, wherein the ratio of maximum pore size to the average pore size, each as determined according to ASTM-316-80, is not more than 1.8. The fine porous membrane is produced by a process comprising casting a film-forming solution, comprising a polymer in a solvent having incorporated therein a swelling agent and a non-solvent, on a casting carrier while being in a solution state, directing air having a temperature of from 15.degree. to 60.degree. C. and a relative humidity of from 10 to 80% onto the surface of the cast film at a velocity of from 0.2 to 4 m/sec for a period of from 2 to 17 seconds to cause coacervation of the cast film while controlling the evaporation loss of the solvent from the cast film and the absorption of non-solvent vapors in the air, dipping the case film in a coagulating bath to cause phase separation and coagulation to form a fine porous membrane, and stripping off the membrane from the casting carrier. The fine porous membranes has a low filtration resistance, a great filtration flow rate, a high efficiency in trapping fine particles and bacteria, and a long life.

Fine porous membrane and process for producing the same

A process for producing a liquid developer for electrostatic photography is disclosed. In the process, a dispersion of fine polymer particles in a non-polar solvent is mixed with a dye that is insoluble in said non-polar solvent and which is soluble in the monomer which is at least one component of the polymer. The polymer particles are then colored by removing from the dispersion a second solvent which dissolves the dye, is miscible with the non-polar solvent and which is capable of swelling at least part of the polymer in such a manner that said second solvent is present in said dye-containing polymer dispersion while the removal is continued.

A method for dispersing an oil-soluble photographic additive into water or a hydrophilic colloid composition wherein an oil-soluble photographic additive is dispersed in water or a hydrophilic colloid composition in the presence of a polymer having a recurring unit represented by the following formula (I):

Method for dispersing photographic additives

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a hydrophilic organic colloid layer containing a dispersion of a substantially water-insoluble photographic additive dissolved in a phosphoric acid ester represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a saturated alicyclic group; and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, which may be the same or different, each represents a saturated alicyclic group, an alkyl group or an aryl group.

Silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

A method for dispersing oil-soluble photographic additives into a hydrophilic colloid composition is disclosed characterized by the use of lecithin in conjunction with an anionic surface active agent containing an --SO.sub.3 M or --OSO.sub.3 M moiety wherein M represents a cation and a hydrophobic group having 8 to 30 carbon atoms.
