The present invention provides a bitumen composition comprising a bitumen component, a thermoplastic rubber in an amount of less than 8 % wt, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in an amount of less than 5 % wt, both based on total bitumen composition, wherein the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has a vinyl content in the range of from 20 to 35% wt, based on copolymer; a process for preparing such bitumen composition; and the use of such bitumen compositions in asphalt mixtures for road applications.

Bitumen compositions and a process for their preparation

A process for the preparation of an olefins-containing mixture of hydrocarbons, which process comprises contacting a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock with a zeolitic catalyst at a temperature above 480.degree. C. during less than 10 seconds, whereby the zeolitic catalyst comprises a mixture of a zeolite I and a zeolite II in a matrix, wherein zeolite I has a pore diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 nanometers and zeolite II has a pore diameter greater than 0.7 nanometers, and wherein the catalyst contains at least 25% by weight of zeolitic material. The invention further relates to a catalyst composition comprising a mixture of a zeolite I and a zeolite II in a matrix material, wherein zeolite I has a pore diameter of 0.3 to 0.7 nanometers, zeolite II has a pore diameter greater than 0.7 nanometers, and the composition contains at least 25% by weight of zeolitic material.

Hydrocarbon conversion process and catalyst composition

A centrifugal pump for feeding pulverized material such as coal particles from a low pressure zone into a high pressure zone, said pump having nozzles mounted on a rotor. The pulverized material is ejected into the high pressure space through the nozzles, and gas is supplied to the nozzles to control the flow rate of the pulverized material. Devices are provided that ensure mass flow of the material through the nozzles, even if the nozzles have a short length.

Centrifugal pump for pulverized material

The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for equalizing the flow rate of a combustible, particulate solids, such as coal, and gas mixture discharged from a feed vessel apparatus in a uniform manner to a pressurized receiving reactor, such as a gasifier.

Feed hopper design

A centrifugal pump for feeding pulverized material such as coal particles from a low pressure zone into a high pressure zone, the pump having nozzles mounted on a rotor. The pulverized material is ejected into the high pressure space through the nozzles, and gas is supplied to the nozzles to control the flow rate of the pulverized material. Apparatus is provided that ensures mass flow of the material through the nozzles, even if the nozzles have a short length.

Apparatus for separating spherically-shaped solids from irregularly-shaped solids comprising a rotatable separating table having a frustoconically shaped upper surface, the angle of inclination of the upper surface with the horizontal being such that spherically-shaped solids supplied onto the upper surface will roll down towards a central vertical conduit at the lower end of the upper surface and irregularly-shaped solids supplied onto the upper surface remain at rest. The apparatus further includes a number of supply structures for the supplying of a mixture of spherically-shaped solids and irregularly-shaped solids onto the upper surface and removal means for removing irregularly-shaped solids from the upper surface.

Apparatus for separating solids of different shapes

A distributing valve comprising a valve housing 1 having an inlet 2 and a plurality of outlets 3, the interior of the valve housing 1 being provided with a plurality of displaceably arranged closure members 6, each closure member 6 cooperating with an outlet and being provided with an end face 9 forming a smooth guiding surface from the inlet 2 to one or more other outlets 3 in the closed position of said closure member.
