New Acid Conversion Process Wins U S Patent
Prot, Fulmer of Iowa State College, Dr John W Dunurg of Abilene Texas and Ralph H Fast of Fort Worth Texas are granted US patent 2426067 for an economical acid conversion method. The process avoids acid reconcentration costs by using precise amounts of concentrated fluid acids and ground cellulose with minimal water. Continuous operation eliminates acid reclaiming stages and requires nearly water-free raw material to prevent heat from water-acid mixing.
