US 3816593 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) 3,816,593 METHOD OF REGENERATING WASTE PICKLE LIQUOR William L. Johnson, 1727 Chip-n-Dale, Arlington, Tex. 76010, and William R. Massey, Fort Worth, Tex.; said Massey assignor to said Johnson No Drawing. Filed Nov. 30, 1971, Ser. No. 203,421 Int. Cl. C01b 17/90; C01g 49/02 U.S. Cl. 423-140 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for regenerating aqueous sulfuric acid pickling liquor that contains residual iron-sulfur compounds characterized by the steps of (1) oxidizing the iron-sulfur compounds in at least a portion of the liquor; (2) partially neutralizing the portion of the liquor by raising its pH to at least 2 with the addition of a soluble caustic material, preferably one that contains a cation Whose reac tion product after the two steps forms a precipitate at a pH of 2 and higher; (3) separating the precipitates from the regenerated pickling liquor; and (4) returning the regenerated pickling liquor to pickling service. Also disclosed are specific preferred materials and processes employing additional steps. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the invention This invention relates to a method of regenerating and returning to pickling service the sulfuric acid of a pickling liquor that also contains the iron-sulfur compounds resulting from pickling operations. (2) Description of the prior art Disposal of waste pickling liquor has been and still is an expensive and troublesome problem to various industries, particularly those industries concerned with cleaning a surface containing iron or the like preparatory to deposition of another coating thereon, as in galvanizing. Many processes have been proposed that would use or regenerate the waste pickling liquor; but these processes have not been totally satisfactory, being either impractical in operation or economically infeasible in the particular industry. Consequently, mills or the like have had to resort to neutralization before discharge or other disposal methods. With the current emphasis on improving the eco ogy, the processes for neutralizing the undesirable products have become more expensive, frequently requiring shut-down, pumping and cleaning up to prevent pollution. A good discussion of the prior art pickling practice is to be found in U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,387,927; 2,946,659; 2,739,040; and even back as early as 1,384,974. Related chemical processes are also discussed in U.S. Pats. Nos. 1,636,296; 1,606,470; and 1,047,826. The process of these patents oxidized the iron ions from their lower +2 to a higher +3 oxidation number. A studyof these prior art processes indicate that the processes, though theoretically sound, never achieved the full usefulness that they should have. We believed the primary reason for the lack of a totally satisfactory solution was that these processes did not take advantage of the effect of pH on the solubility of reaction products. Specifically, these processes attempted, with logical basis, to keep the pH of the pickling solutions as acid as possible; normally in the range of about 0.5-1.0. Consequently, the prior art processes had to advert to a supplemental operation such as heating or the like to convert the reaction productsto a precipitate. The additional conversion step was expensive, time consuming, and not readily adaptable to the oxidation reaction step. It is deemed probable that the prior workers United States Patent 3,816,593 Patented June 11, 1974 "ice in this field overlooked the effects of pH on solubility, because conventional solubility data is given at near neutral conditions, not in highly acid conditions. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a process for regenerating waste pickling liquor in which defects of the prior art processes are obviated. It is a specific object of this invention to provide a process in which the alkalinity of the treated liquor is increased by a factor of at least 10 in order to obtain precipitation of at least the oxidized reaction product of the iron-sulfur compounds that contaminate pickle liquor; thereby enabling the regenerated pickle liquor, without the iron-sulfur compounds that are removed, to be returned to pickling service; and enable cleaning up the pickling solution without polluting a surrounding ambient environment, or otherwise disturbing the ecological conditions that prevail. These and other objects will become apparent from the following detailed-descriptive matter. H In accordance with the invention, contaminated, or degenerated, sulfuric acid pickle liquor is regenerated and restored to service by the following multi-stepprocess. As one of the steps, the iron-sulfur compounds in the degenerated pickle liquor are oxidized by contacting at least a portion of the liquor with an oxidizing agent that is strong enough to oxidize the iron-sulfur compounds. The oxidizing agent is employed in an amount that is at least stoichiometrically equivalent to the iron ions to be removed from the portion of the pickling liquor. As another step, the portion of the pickling liquor is partially neutralized by adding a soluble caustic material in an amount suflicient to bring the pH of the portion of the liquor to at least 2. A minimum pH of 2 is required in order for the oxidized iron-sulfur com-- pounds to form precipitates that can be separated from the liquor. Preferably, in order to prevent a high concentration of a strong electrolyte in the liquor, the caustic material contains a cation whose reaction product formed after the oxidation and partial neutralization steps also forms a precipitate at a pH of 2 and higher. It can be seen that the pH greater than 2 actually effects a hy droxide ion concentration, or alkalinity, that is more than 10 times that normally attending the pickling liquor. The step of deliberately partially neutralizing a portion of the pickling liquor produces a high degree of precipitate formation and enables separating and returning the regenerated pickling liquor to service. Even we have been surprised by the unexplained and unexpected precipitation of both the oxidized iron-sulfur compounds and the reaction product of the cation of the caustic material. As a third step, the precipitates, both the oxidized ironsulfur compounds and the reaction product of the cation of the caustic material, are separated from the portion of the pickling liquor, which then is a regenerated pickling liquor. The separation may be by any of the conventional processes. As a fourth'step, the regenerated pickling liquor is returned to the pickling service. The described process may be carried out as a batch operation, the steps being carried out in either a separate vat holding a portion of the pickling liquor, or the entire storage tank for small systems. On the other hand, the process may be carried out as a continuous process. The continuous process may be employed to treat either full stream or side stream. For example, it may be carried out as a treatment of about 10 gallons per minute for side stream operation in which an entire pickling operation can have its pickling liquor regenerated by operation of the treatment plant periodically for about 2 to 3 days- On the other hand, a smaller treatment may be carried out with a smaller side stream operated continuously. This invention is useful for regenerating, or recovering, waste pickling liquors from steel treating processes as well as other processes which employ pickling liquors; for example, regenerating waste liquors from electroplating processes. The invention has several advantages. For example, impurities such as zinc impurities have frequently required re-running because of the high toxicit thereof. These impurities are also precipitated in the process. The impurities constitute a relatively small percentage of the precipitate, so the precipitate is primarily iron, and it may be sold for recycling to produce iron ingots. Any other constituent; such as, the metal of the cation of the caustic material; may be recovered also, if present in a feasible concentration. The primary benefit of the invention, however, is that it prevents having to shut down the particular operation; for example, having to shut down a large scale galvanizing operation; in order to clean up the pickling liquor and prevent a polluting discharge that will create legal and ecological problems. Moreover, the invention alleviates problems which require separate pumping systems for cleaning up the process, as frequently required in conventional processes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In carrying out the invention described briefly hereinbefore, the oxidizing agents that are employed are those which are strong enough to oxidize the iron-sulfur compounds. Satisfactory oxidizing agents include the halogens; derivatives of a halogen, such as bromine water; concentrated nitric acid; and hydrogen peroxide. There may be health hazards associated with employing certain of the oxidizing agents; such as, fluorine, chlorine, and the less stable derivatives like the perchlorates. By their very nature, the strong oxidizing agents present some hazard and require special precautions. The procedures embodying the precautions, however, are well known, have been carefully delineated in safety manuals, and need not be described in detail herein. A particularly preferred oxidizing agent comprises chlorine, since it may be readily contacted with the solution in either a batch process or a continuous process. For example, the chlorine may be first dissolved in water and then reacted with the iron ions in the pickling liquor; or it may be contacted directly wth the pickling liquor in any of the conventional processes. Specifically, the gaseous chlorine can be bubbled through perforated pipe in the bottom of a vessel in a batch process; or flowed into the bottom of a contacting tower for contacting the downcoming liquor in a continuous process. Ordinarily, it is not necessary to employ an expensive bubble tray tower, since a tower that is packed with Berl saddles, Raschig rings, or the like will afford a satisfactory contacting tower. If one of the chemicals that is equivalent to the chlorine; that is, another of the strong oxidizing agens; is employed, the contacting procedures that are conventional for that particular oxidizing agent will be employed in the oxidation step. The caustic material that is employed to bring the pH of the liquor to at least 2 must be soluble in the liquor such that it will raise the hydroxide ion concentration to the level equivalent to a pH of at least 2. Preferably, the caustic material contains a cation whose reaction product formed after the oxidation and partial neutralization steps forms a precipitate at the pH greater than 2. Ordinarily, this will require a cation which is at least divalent. Typical of such soluble caustic materials are calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. Particularly preferred is magnesium hydroxide. The reasons for its unusually eificacious performance are not completely understood. The solubility of chemical compounds in highly acidic solutions is still exploratory in nature. The chemical kinetics of the reaction of the magnesium compounds in pickling liquor are uncertain. Chemical equations are set forth hereinafter in what is believed to be the explanation of the success of the process. Of course, caustic, materials containing the soluble monovalent cations can be employed where a build-up of the monovalent cation can be tolerated. As indicated hereinbefore, the exact phenomena which explains the efficacy of the process is not clearly understood. The following equations are given by way of tentative explanation, not by way of limiting the process; since the process works, whether or not the equations that are hypothesized are accurate. The iron-sulfur compounds, in soluble form at the low pH have their ions oxidized to the highest valence of the iron; that is, iron ions having a valence of a positive 3, sometimes referred to as iron (HI), all in accordance with Equation I (in ionic form): The addition of the magnesium hydroxide effects precipitation of the iron hydroxide in accordance with Equation II: A surprising phenomena that has been observed and that is not as clearly understood is the subsequent precipitation of a major portion of the magnesium that is added. It may be that the precipitation effects a continuing movement of the reaction in accordance with Equation III to the right, even though the predominant reaction rate is to the left side as follows: In any event, the solubility phenomena which result in the precipitating of the iron and magnesium compounds is only experienced at a pH greater than 2; although we have found that magnesium ions alone are removed by the oxidation step at pHs as low as 0.4. Expressed otherwise, a satisfactory proportion of the iron and magnesium compounds are precipitated when the pH is as great as 2. The iron hydroxide can be precipitated substantially quantitatively at a pH of about 4 or higher. In one example, we have found that at a pH of 5 the concentration of iron ions have been lowered from about 17,000 parts per million (ppm) to about 1 ppm. The oxidizing agent is employed in an amount that is at least stoichiometrically equivalent to the iron ions to be removed. Preferably, an excess of the oxidizing agent is employed, particularly, where the efiiciency of contacting the liquor is such that it effects less than percent contact. The soluble caustic material is employed in an amount sufiicient to bring the pH of the portion of the liquor to a pH that is at least 2. If the maximum precipitation is desired, an amount of soluble caustic material is employed that will raise the pH to a level of about 5. The steps of separating the precipitates from the re generated pickling liquor and returning the regenerated pickling liquor to the pickling service may be carried out by any of the conventional separation processes. For example, a settling basin, with or without additives, may be provided such that the heavy salt precipitates will settle to the bottom and the supernatant liquid drawn from a quiescent zone. On the other hand, the iron compounds may form floc-like precipitates such that separation will be more nearly complete if a filtering operation is done. In such an event, the supernatant liquid from a quiescent zone of a treatment, or settling, vessel is flowed through a filter where the precipitate is removed. The filtrate is regenerated liquor that is returned to pickling service. That portion of the precipitate which is trapped by the filter may be subsequently removed by backwashing the filter. Ordinarily, a settling vessel will also have a concentrated slurry of precipitate which can be blown down, or sent to a recovery pit, to recover the precipitate without clogging the filter. If desired, centrifugation, with or without additives, may be employed to separate the precipitates from the pickling liquor. The process may be carried out in any order of steps desired. For example, the soluble caustic material may be added first to raise the pH of the portion of the liquor to be treated and thereafter the portion of the liquor contacted with the oxidizing agent to oxidize the ironsulfur compounds. On the other hand, the oxidation of the iron-sulfur compounds may be carried out first, as by bubbling the chlorine through the liquor; and subsequently, the soluble caustic material added to raise the pH. If desired, the process may be carried out by simultaneously carrying out both steps; that is, adding the soluble caustic material while simultaneously contacting the liquor with the oxidizing agent, as by bubbling the chlorine therethrough. In the event that the liquor is contacted with the oxidizing agent first and the soluble caustic material added thereafter, an additional step of contacting the efliuent from the partial neutralization step with the oxidizing agent may be carried out to further precipitate the cation reaction product; that is, the reaction product formed by reaction of the cation of the soluble caustic material during the oxidation and partial neutralization steps. For example, an additional chlorinator may be employed, or the additional step of chlorinating the supernatant liquid employed, to effect further precipitation of the cation reaction product; such as, magnesium hydroxide, as in accordance with Equation III. The process of the invention is enhanced in its eflicacy by periodically concentrating the sulfuric acid by removal of the water therefrom. The water may be removed from the sulfuric acid by any of the conventional processes; for example, by evaporating the water from the dilute sulfuric acid to form a more concentrated solution. The water that is removed does not, of course, pollute the atmosphere or the environment, and does not require special handling, as did the waste liquor that had to be disposed of previously. As indicated hereinbefore, the precipitate, or sludge, containing the precipitates is a desirable commercial product and does not present disposal problems. Having thus described the invention, it will be understood that such description has been given by way of illustration and example and not by way of limitation. What is claimed is: 1. A method of regenerating aqueous sulfuric acid pickling liquor that contains residual iron-sulfur compounds comprising ferrous sulfate comprising the steps of: (a) oxidizing said iron-sulfur compounds comprising ferrous sulfate to ferric sulfate by contacting at least a portion of the liquor with an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of the halogens, concentrated nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide; said oxidizing agent being present in an amount that is at least stoichiometrically equivalent to the iron ions to removed; then (b) adding to said portion of said liquor a soluble caustic material selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide in an amount sufiicient to bring the pH of the portion of the liquor to at least 2 to form precipitates comprising ferric hydroxide and said caustic material; (c) separating the precipitates from the regenerated pickling liquor; and (d) returning the regenerated pickling liquor, sans the removed iron-sulfur compounds, to pickling service. 2.

A trio of Cubs migrated to a new camp as Kris Bryant, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler were reassigned by Chicago in a busy day of movement Wednesday. The Indians also opted to send their top prospect, Francisco Lindor, to the Minor League camp.
None of the three had been expected to open the season with the Cubs. Bryant, MLB.com's No. 9 prospect, saw little action in Spring Training, slugging two homers in nine at-bats. Almora also achieved success in little playing time, going 5-for-9, while Soler finished 2-for-8.
"We're glad they're Cubbies," manager Rick Renteria told MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. "They've shown their ability to be professionals here in terms of how they carried themselves, some of the performances they had in the course of the spring. Now it's time for them to get down there and start getting more at-bats and start getting ready for the regular season for themselves and continue to develop and improve on their skill sets. It's like anything, all players are a little disappointed, but they know there's a reason and purpose for what we do."
There remains a strong chance that the trio could end up together this year, with Soler being assigned to Double-A Tennessee. Bryant finished 2013 in Class A Advanced Daytona, making him a fair bet to play for the Smokies this year. Almora, MLB.com's No. 18 prospect, spent last season in Class A Kane County.
Lindor, a 20-year-old shortstop who follows Bryant on MLB.com's overall rankings at No. 10, split last season between Class A Advanced Carolina and Double-A Akron. Lindor missed the final month of 2013 with a lower back strain and ended the season with a .303/.380/.407 slash line while stealing 25 bases.
Meanwhile, Justin Nicolino was assigned to Minor League camp by the Marlins and is expected to begin the year in Double-A Jacksonville, making the Southern League a hot ticket for prospect watchers. MLB.com's No. 81 prospect was 8-4 in 27 Minor League starts, nine of which were made for the Suns.
And former teammates A.J. Cole and Robbie Ray were reassigned by their respective clubs, Cole by the Nationals and Ray by the Tigers. Ray was traded to Detroit by Washington during the offseason for pitcher Doug Fister. Cole stands at No. 69 on MLB.com's Top 100 while Ray checks in at No. 97. The pair pitched together last year in Double-A Harrisburg.

CLEVELAND - NOVEMBER 16: Ray Lewis #52 of the Baltimore Ravens celebrates a defensive stop in the third quarter against the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on November 16, 2009 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
Johnny Unitas is set to have some company outside M&T Stadium. The Baltimore Ravens are planning to build a statue of Ray Lewis, team owner Steve Biscotitti said on Thursday.
Lewis played the final game of his legendary 17-year career in Sunday's Super Bowl victory over the 49ers. He was a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker.
Bisciotti was unsure of where the statue would be built or how long it would take,
"I think he set himself apart in Baltimore sports history," Bisciotti said of Lewis, "and we will certainly look into it and I would not be surprised if there is one there in the next year or two."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Lewis is always welcome to visit and talk to the team but does not believe that the 17-year veteran has any intention of coaching.
Lewis' son, Ray Lewis III, signed a letter of intent with Miami yesterday.

Adventures of a Singlista: Mental Minefields
By Lisa Bonner
Relationships are nothing if not tough. When we're single, we practice (in our heads) all the things that we know we should do to better our relationships and give them a chance for survival. But as we all know, there is nothing like real life to move things from theory to practice. I have been single for what seems like an eternity. I have recently (and slowly) moved into the realm of "coupledom," but trust me when I tell you that this wasn't without all my relationship issues rearing their ugly heads. I have alluded to the relationship here, but haven't spoken much about this transition, but I will give the backstory soon, I promise. I have remained mum thus far, because I have the propensity to blow things out of the water before they get started. And this time it was nothing different. I was speaking to a girlfriend last week about relationships, and this particular friend, in some instances is exactly like me. We have the same birthday month, similar personalities -- I could go on but the point is the comparisons are endless. In this conversation, we were speaking about some recent partner issues that we were both having. My friend pointed out that she sometimes has trouble controlling her thoughts and will take one morsel of information and run with it. I said "Ditto." I thought about how I can create an entire film noir in my mind, with that same, small piece of information. My film is sometimes complete with a sinister plot (e.g., he is out there running around on me and sitting back laughing at my expense about how he pulled the wool over my eyes), an arc and a tragic ending. Okay, so maybe I exaggerate a bit, but you get the point. I remember a conversation I had with my boyfriend about a month ago. He said in his cutest French accent, "This problem is made in Leezah!" I said "I am sorry, I do not understand," convinced this was about to be lost in translation and I would get off easy. Not the case; he replied "You know, just as my watch is made in Switzerland, my TV is made in Japan, this problem in made in Leezah; it is made in your head!" I sat there and had to think about that one, because I had no defense. I have heard it before and replayed all my film noirs in my head. These film noirs have caused me more sleepless nights than the scariest movies I have seen. My friend recommended a book by Joyce Meyer called "Battlefield of the Mind," where Meyer speaks about the importance of controlling our thoughts. If you have studied any eastern, western or new age religion, they underscore the same tenet, "As a woman thinketh in her mind, so she is" (Proverbs 23:7). If you create these scenarios and devious plots in your head they will eventually come to fruition one way or another. My girl Jules, who you know from this column (my Parisian traveling partner, the "happiness wind beneath my wings" friend), likens relationships to gambling: if you want to win big you have to bet big; nothing ventured, nothing gained. You have to trust yourself that you have vetted this person enough to think that they too are adhering to the agenda to which you both agreed, and that person won't deliberately hurt you. True, there is no way to know that you won't get hurt, but if you want it to work out, you have to, at some point, trust that person, bet big and roll with the punches. As the Good Book says, "Whatever is done in the dark shall come to the light" (Luke 12:3), so it will work itself out one way or another. Relax, chill and take it easy; it is going to be what it is going to be ("when it's going to be it," as friend Cindi adds). There are enough inherent problems in coupling, without us compounding them and adding our plots, arcs and tragic endings. I am consistently trying to prevent my mental minefields from becoming mindfields and blowing up my relationships. It is a war that is worth fighting because we need to think positively, and hone our thoughts. And at the end of the day, no one wants to be alone... with their miserable thoughts and no one to share the good times with. After a few turbulent weeks of trying to patch my relationship back together after my "mindfields" almost dismembered this one, we are back on track. I have no idea where this is going, but I am looking forward to taking this journey with you here on Essence.com and with him. In the end, you want a partner who is going to be there in the trenches with you, and ultimately hope that you can both emerge as better people, whether you stay together or not.

A certain mysterious feeling, consequent on the darkness, the secrecy of the revel, and the whisper in which everything was said, steals over me again, and I listen to all they tell me with a vague feeling of solemnity and awe, which makes me glad that they are all so near, and frightens me (though I feign to laugh) when Traddles pretends to see a ghost in the corner.

Video: Chimera calls league's actions Thursday "absurd" and "childish"
Dec 7, 2012, 11:01 PM EST
After the CBA talks collapsed on Thursday, Jason Chimera sounded like a someone trying to keep a level head about the process.
Chimera still thinks the two sides are close and was surprised by the NHL's harsh reaction to the players decision not to fully concede to the owners over the remaining issues. He also believes that the league rejecting the union's offer via voicemail was "childish" and the NHL's decision to pull everything off the table and stop talking was "absurd."
You can watch his full comments below:
From the owner's perspective, they made concessions over the week under the condition that the players conceded three key areas to the league. Those points included contract lengths, which deputy commissioner Bill Daly claimed was "the hill we'll die on" in reference to how firm the NHL is in its stance.
The NHL was waiting for the union to either accept or reject the owner's demands on those key points and Bettman pulled the league's recent concessions off the table when the union instead responded with a counter-offer.

BlackBerry fading as third phone option, software makers say
Comments | ? |
Report an Error |
Share via Email
SAN FRANCISCO — BlackBerry's chances of becoming a viable contender to Apple Inc. and Google Inc. in the smartphone market are dimming amid lacklustre demand for its flagship touch-screen device.
Corporate information-technology departments have long wanted a third alternative to Apple's iPhones and devices based on Google's Android operating system, to ensure innovation and price competition. Yet many businesses are dropping support for BlackBerry as employees flock to touch-screen devices from Apple, Samsung Electronics Co. and others, according to makers of software used by companies to manage smartphones at work.
That trend was underscored last week when BlackBerry missed analysts' estimates for phone shipments and profit. Now the Waterloo-based company could see further declines as businesses grow more skeptical of its brand, said Bob Tinker, chief executive officer of MobileIron Inc., a maker of smartphone-management software used by 5,000 companies. That makes Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone a likelier third option.
"Most of our customers have been planning to support three mobile operating systems—iOS, Android and either Windows Phone or BlackBerry," said Tinker, whose products compete with the enterprise servers BlackBerry offers its clients. "The recent results indicate that BlackBerry is not going to be the third."
BlackBerry last week disclosed weaker-than-expected sales of its flagship Z10 handset, which was designed to exploit its new BB10 software to take on high-end phones such as the iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S4. The stock plunged the most in 13 years after the news and has lost a third of its value since the announcement.
The disappointing results give a shot in the arm to Microsoft, which has gained ground on BlackBerry in recent years in the struggle for third place. In the global smartphone market, BlackBerry's share shrank to 2.9 per cent last quarter from 6.4 per cent a year earlier, according to research firm IDC. Apple and Android together held 92 per cent of the market. Microsoft's Windows Phone bumped BlackBerry into fourth place.
With limited employee demand for BlackBerry devices, some companies are deciding to turn off the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which is the back-office software that lets BlackBerry users securely get e-mail and synchronize appointments in the corporate network, rather than upgrade to the new version for the BB10 operating system, said Tinker.
BlackBerry announced an addition to the new version of BES called Secure Work Space on June 25 that's designed to manage iPhones and devices from other platforms in addition to its own products. Still, many companies have decided to use independent mobile-management platforms from MobileIron and AirWatch LLC, among others, said Maribel Lopez, founder of Lopez Research.

Here we go again.... car selection
Hey Everyone~
Here I go again getting another new car. My lease is ending in Sept. on my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I am doing my research now.
I think this time I am going into either a wagon or a small SUV or crossover.
My question is most of these cars have a 4 cyl. How does that compare to my 8? Of course I am going to notice a huge difference but is a 4 going to be a putt putt?
Thanks for your help!
I would think a Chevy HHR with a 4 cylinder would be a putt putt?But a Chevy Equinox that has a V-6 you would like and not notice a differance.Because of the less weight and front wheel drive.Not transfering the power to the back wheels is a instant gain.
Test drive a Chevy Cobalt with a 2.2 4 cylinder and you will see its not a putt putt.But a Chevy Malibu with the same 2.2 will be.As Raginbull saids it going to depend on the weight of the vehical.If there is a V-6 option for the make and model your considering over a 4 cylinder then yes more then likley the 4 cylinder will be a putt putt.
How about an FJ Cruiser? They're 6. I find it makes a big difference over the 4 cylinger Caravan I traded in on it. The FJ has great pick-up, is a fanatastic vehicle, if it suits your needs. 2 drawbacks for some folks--lower gas mileage (but since I've only put 2500 miles on it in the 8 months I've had it, that's not a huge consideration to me), and the visibility is a little different than most cars/trucks/vans I've driven--but it's easy enough to get used to. Other than that, it's just the best, 'funnest' car I've owned in over 40 years of driving (yes, the young fellows on our street call me the coolest old lady on the block and drool over my FJ--LOL).
Love mine--wouldn't trade it for an original Hummer (which, until the FJ's came out, was always my 'dream' car). Can't hurt to take a look at them. And it's a Toyota, so it should last a good long time.
If you are not going to pull anything you should be fine with a 4 banger. It won't feel like your 8 don't get me wrong but please test drive Honda CRV and see what you think. My car(s) for the last 25 years have been 4's. I drive them until 210,000 and then get a different one. I have stuck with Honda but now have a Mazda.
Several of today's fours are well gear to the tranny so you would not know the difference in acceleration. No put put. You will definately know the difference in gas mileage. Also expect less cargo space but not less comfort.
Models to looks at are:
Subaru - several models, great reliability
Mazda - up and coming car company - check out the new CX 7. Great reliability. The Mazda6 is also a great option. Comes in a wagon.
Toyota - again, several models such as the Highlander. It's a Toyota - enough said.
Honda - CRV is an excellent vehicle, recently re-designed. It's a Honda!
Hundai - a couple of very reliable SUV's to choose from. You may be pleasantly suprised.
Enjoy the journey.

Small firms' growth still faces credit brake
Access to credit is still a "roadblock to growth" for London's small businesses, according to new survey data as Bank of England figures today underlined shrinking corporate credit.
One in four of smaller businesses in the capital looked at alternative ways to raise finance in the first three months of 2014 — up from 16% a year earlier, according to Western Union Business Solutions' survey of 270 firms. One in three companies are considering using peer-to-peer lenders.
Of the 23% of London businesses applying for credit in the past year 30% were unsuccessful, up from 23% in the final three months of last year, according to the findings. Only 5% of SMEs believe the cost of bank financing is falling compared to 24% who think it is rising.
UK managing director Christina Hamilton said: "Access to credit continues to be a roadblock to growth. Funding remains elusive and prohibitively expensive for many London SMEs and it is little wonder that businesses are looking for alternative ways to raise finance."
The Bank of England's latest Trends in Lending report meanwhile showed overall lending to UK business still 2.1% down on a year ago.
Governor Mark Carney is aiming to revive corporate credit through tweaks to the Bank's Funding for Lending scheme to encourage business loans and cool mortgage lending.

E3 09: PSP Go! Hands On (video)
By now the PSP Go! is old news, but that didn't stop me from grabbing a quick hands on with the portable video game system. I previously mentioned that they had foregone the analog stick. Guess what? I was dead wrong. The screen of the PSP Go! is bright and although I couldn't close the unit due to the security cord it is a slick little device. Check the video below.

When Coming In First Is Worst
Professional sports teams usually strive to come in first place, as the San Francisco Giants did in winning the World Series in 2010 and 2012.
But back in 2007, when the club's owner sent a memo to his CIO, Bill Schlough, asking why the Giants "have always been at the top of this list," the organization's IT department was not proud of the top spot he referred to.
It was a list ranking spending of all Major League franchises on their communications infrastructures, and the Giants were again shelling out more than any of their rivals.
That prompted a search for a telecommunications provider that could offer better value to the organization, and ultimately a move to ShoreTel, a pure IP Unified Communications vendor.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Key Bible Verse: God did not give us a cowardly spirit but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit. (2 Timothy 1:7, The Voice)
Dig Deeper: 2 Timothy 1:1-14
[My inability to jump off that rock in Sunday's reading was] not a big deal. But there will be important moments in life when all of us find ourselves unable to move. We will see where we need to go; we will be aware that nothing really has to stop us from getting there; and yet we will stand there, legs or heart aquiver, and not go forward.
We want to grow in our faith and get into the Bible on a daily basis, but we can't quite muster up the spiritual energy. We realize that we need a bigger plan for our families and careers, and we want to develop it, but we're afraid [to do so]. Better to stay in a neutral zone, keep expectations low, and not have to do anything drastic. That's what we're really afraid of: drastic, life-upsetting action.
So we play it safe, keep things calm, and stay stuck.
I wonder if this isn't an increasingly common situation today for many Christians. It's not that we want to be where we are. It's not that we are trying to stand still. We see a good goal and want to move toward it. But something, some kind of invisible personal force field, holds us back.
