There is disclosed a plate-shaped pressed body (wafer) produced from an inorganic sorbent and a binder, having a thickness of less than 700 &#x3bc;m, which is produced by the process of compressing a mixture of the inorganic sorbent, the binder, and optionally water and compression aids at a pressure of at least 70 MPa, wherein the weight ratio of dry sorbent to dry binder is between about 4 and 0.7 and the water content of the mixture, measured at 160&#xb0; C., is between 8 and 20%; and calcining the resulting pressed body at temperatures of at least about 500&#xb0; C., until the water content is substantially removed.

Plate-shaped pressed bodies

A process for splicing cut ends of a continuous strip of packets or bags used to hold bulk material. The steps of the process include forming a continuous strip of packets from packaging material and filling the packets with bulk material. The edges of the packaging material are sealed to form individual packets of the continuous strip such that adjacent packets share a common sealed area of packaging material. Openings are then formed in the common sealed areas between the adjacent packets. The continuous strip is then cut entirely across the common sealed area of the packets at two separate locations on the continuous strip to form cut ends such that each of the cut ends of the continuous strip contains an opening in the common sealed area. Without using splicing tape, the two cut ends of the continuous strip with openings are spliced together such that the openings in the two cut ends overlap. The splicing process can be accomplished by ultrasonic welding, impulse splicing or other processes. Also disclosed is equipment for the splicing processes.
