According to one embodiment, a data sources interface of a mainframe receives a transaction request from a user terminal communicating through a network. The transaction request is formatted in a web-based format. A data sources function is called to instruct a mainframe application to perform the requested transaction, and the instruction to the mainframe is formatted in the native format of the mainframe. A transaction result formatted in the native format of the mainframe is received from the mainframe application. The transaction result is modified according to the web-based format to yield a data source, and the data source is sent to the user terminal.

The present invention provides a method and composition for on-line treatment of furnace walls that are subject to deposition of highly reflective ash. The method involves exposing the walls to a darkening agent, or a combination of a darkening agent and a fluxing agent. The darkening agent, or the combined darkening agent and fluxing agent, may be mixed with the coal before it enters the boiler. Preferably, the appropriate walls of the boiler are treated directly with the darkening agent. A preferred embodiment involves direct application of the darkening agent to the water wall.

A method and composition for control of in-transit and residual dust from coal or coke is provided. The method involves spraying the coal or coke with fluid, preferably water, containing an additive comprised of approximately 90-99% by weight of lignosulfonate and 1-10% by weight of a polyacrylate, a polyvinylalcohol, or a polyacrylamide. Sufficient fluid should be used to coat the coal or coke. The amount of additive necessary to prevent dusting will vary according to the conditions to which the coke or coal will be subjected.

Methods for treating coke and coal and products produced thereby

A method and composition for control of in-transit and residual dust, erosion, and wetting of coal or coke feeds is provided. The method involves spraying the coal or coke with a solution comprising a fluid, preferably water, containing a sufficient amount of an additive comprising (a) approximately 90-99 wt % of a binder, preferably a lignosulfonate, a polyether, a polyol, or a byproduct produced during the refining of a natural sugar, and (b) 1-10 wt % of a polyacrylate, a polyvinylalcohol, or a polyacrylamide. The additive also preferably contains a surfactant. The amount of solution/additive that is necessary will vary according to the desired result and the conditions to which the coke or coal will be subjected.

A microwave oven and a refrigerator are combined in a single cabinet and share line power supplied to the cabinet. Door interlocks and a manually settable time are provided for disconnecting electrical supply to the compressor of the refrigerator during operation of the magnetron of the microwave oven. The circuitry provided ensures that electrical supply is reconnected to the compressor upon expiration of the timer setting, even if the door of the oven is incidentally left open after use.

Combined refrigerator and microwave oven with timed overload protection

A microwave oven and a refrigerator are combined into a single cabinet housing a shared power supply with an electrical supply disconnect for the magnetron of the oven during a start-up power demand by the compressor of the refrigerator and for a period of time depending upon a rating of the compressor.

A composition of matter is used to treat particles entrained in flue gas. The composition comprises a caustic liquid to adjust the resistivity of the entrained particles. An inert particulate matter supports the caustic liquid to inhibit the chemical action of the caustic liquid until used to adjust the resistivity of the entrained particles. The entrained particles are removed from the flue gas by choosing a caustic liquid to adjust the resistivity of the entrained particles. The caustic liquid is supported on inert particulate matter to inhibit the chemical action of the caustic liquid. The supported caustic liquid is supplied to untreated flue gas at a temperature sufficient to separate the caustic liquid from the inert particulate matter. The separated caustic liquid is mixed with the entrained particles so as to coat the entrained particles. The coated particles are then passed through an electrostatic precipitator to remove them from the flue gas.

An aqueous solution is applied to water insoluble solid particles when flowing from one location to another location to improve the flow characteristics of the particles while inhibiting caking characteristics of the particles. The aqueous solution comprises a water soluble polymer derived from cellulose.

The collection characteristics of particles entrained in a particle-laden gas for collection by an electrostatic precipitator are improved by injecting finely divided sodium bisulfate into a particle-laden gas stream formed by the burning of coal while the gas has a temperature of 200.degree.-900.degree. C. Sufficient sodium bisulfate is injected to provide 75-1250 grams per metric ton of coal burned to form the gas. After injection, the stream is directed through a heat exchange means and finally into the precipitator to collect the particles therein.

Method of conditioning flue gas

The fusion point of coal ash in a boiler is reduced by introducing a boron-containing compound into a boiler containing coal ash and mixing the compound and the coal ash. Preferably the compound is introduced into the furnace box of the boiler as an intimate mixture of pulverized or crushed coal and the compound, the coal being intimately mixed with the compound prior to introduction of the mixture into the furnace box.

The collection characteristics of particles entrained in a particle-laden gas for collection by an electrostatic precipitator are improved by injecting finely divided ammonium sulfate into a particle-laden gas stream formed by the burning of coal while the gas has a temperature of 590.degree.-900.degree. C. Sufficient ammonium sulfate is injected to provide 75-1,250 grams per metric ton of coal burned to form the gas. After injection, the stream is directed through a heat exchange means and finally into the precipitator to collect the particles therein.
