A process for purifying 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol is disclosed, which comprises introducing a chlorination reaction mixture obtained by chlorination of allyl alcohol in a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution in a reactor, to a degassing tower, where hydrogen chloride is released, returning the hydrogen chloride to the chlorination reactor, cooling the residual liquid to separate into an aqueous layer and an oily layer, and returning the aqueous layer to the chlorination reactor while recovering 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol from the oily layer, wherein said oily layer is introduced to a first distillation tower, where hydrogen chloride, part of the produced 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol, and other low-boiling components are recovered as a distillate, cooling the distillate to separate it into an aqueous layer and an oily layer, returning the aqueous layer of the distillate to the chlorination reactor, and recovering 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol from the oily layer of the distillate and a high-boiling fraction of the first distillation tower. Where 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol is for use as a starting material of epichlorohydrin, the process involves no wasteful consumption of calcium hydroxide.

A novel process for producing a double refraction plate is disclosed. According to the process, a transparent dielectric material is directed to and deposited on a substrate from an oblique direction. Above all, for controlling the retardation of the resulting double refraction plate, a polarized light having a plane of polarization in a specific direction relative to the substrate is directed to the substrate through the variable phase plate and the light reflected from the substrate is observed through the variable phase plate, as the dielectric material is deposited from an oblique direction.

Method for the preparation of a pyroelectric material

A method for manufacturing rotary ball display devices wherein a plurality of such balls are provided with a coating of a color different from the remainder of the ball, the ball members are coated with a thin coating insoluble in the settling medium into which they are introduced, so that upon settling into a low viscosity liquid, they form a uniform layer. A high molecular weight hardenable coating material which is soluble in the low viscosity liquid is then poured onto the coated ball members to cover the layer. Then, the low viscosity liquid is removed and the hardenable coating material is caused to harden. The thin coating is then dissolved away from portions of the ball members to leave cavity portions thereabout into which a high resistivity liquid is introduced. The resulting ball members have a refractive index on the colored layer which is substantially the same as the refractive index of the high resistivity liquid contained in the cavities.
