1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to a specified crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst characterized by a crystal size of at least about 1 micron. It has associated with it a Group 2B metal, a Group 8 metal and magnesium. The invention also relates to a method of making the catalyst.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A remarkable growth in the production of synthetic fibers, plastics and rubber has taken place in recent decades. This growth, to a very large extent, has been supported and encouraged by an expanding supply of inexpensive petrochemical raw materials such as ethylene, benzene, toluene and xylenes.
Increasing demand for olefins, e.g. C2 -C3 olefins has, from time to time, led to periods of shortage, either due to a diminished supply of suitable feedstocks or to limited processing capacity. In any event, it is desirable to provide efficient means for converting raw materials other than petroleum to olefins.
Understandably, there has been considerable effort made to find new ways to produce certain olefin hydrocarbons. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,025,571 discloses the conversion of a feed of alcohols, ethers and mixtures thereof to hydrocarbons rich in C2 - and C3 hydrocarbons and certain aromatics by passing the feed over the specified zeolites.
In accordance with the present invention, there has been discovered a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a crystal size of at least about 1 micron, usually in the approximate range of 1-20 microns and preferably 1-6 microns. The crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite is essentially characterized by a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and the presence therein of a Group 2B and a Group 8 metal or metal compound and magnesium or its oxide or sulfide, these being incorporated into the catalyst in the order mentioned. The invention also provides a method for making the catalyst.
It is contemplated that feed comprising any monohydric alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be used as feed to the process of this invention. Thus, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, sec-butanol and isobutanol may be used either alone or in admixture with one another. The particularly preferred feed is methanol.
In accordance with the present invention, such feed is brought into contact, under conversion conditions, with a catalyst comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a crystal size of at least about 1 micron, a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a constraint index within the approximate range of 1 to 12, and having zinc, palladium and magnesium oxide associated therewith.
The zeolites herein described are members of a class of zeolites exhibiting some unusual properties. These zeolites induce profound transformations of aliphatic hydrocarbons to aromatic hydrocarbons in commercially desirable yields and are generally highly effective in conversion reactions involving aromatic hydrocarbons. Although they have unusually low alumina contents, i.e. high silica to alumina ratios, they are very active even when the silica to alumina ratio exceeds 30. The activity is surprising since catalytic activity is generally attributed to framework aluminum atoms and cations associated with these aluminum atoms. These zeolites retain their crystallinity for long periods in spite of the presence of steam at high temperature which induces irreversible collapse of the framework of other zeolites, e.g. of the X and A type. Furthermore, carbonaceous deposits, when formed, may be removed by burning at higher than usual temperatures to restore activity. In many environments the zeolites of this class exhibit very low coke forming capability, conducive to very long times on stream between burning regenerations.
An important characteristic of the crystal structure of this class of zeolites is that it provides constrained access to, and egress from the intracrystalline free space by virtue of having a pore dimension greater than about 5 Angstroms and pore windows of about a size such as would be provided by 10-membered rings of oxygen atoms. It is to be understood, of course, that these rings are those formed by the regular disposition of the tetrahedra making up the anionic framework of the crystalline aluminosilicate, the oxygen atoms themselves being bonded to the silicon or aluminum atoms at the centers of the tetrahedra. Briefly, the preferred type zeolites useful in this invention possess, in combination: a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12; and a structure providing a constrained access to the crystalline free space.
The silica to alumina ratio referred to may be determined by conventional analysis. This ratio is meant to represent, as closely as possible, the ratio in the rigid anionic framework of the zeolite crystal and to exclude aluminum in the binder or in cationic or other form within the channels. Although zeolites with a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12are useful, it is preferred to use zeolites having higher ratios of at least about 30. Such zeolite, after activation, acquire an intracrystalline sorption capability for normal hexane which is greater than that for water, i.e. they exhibit "hydrophobic" properties. It is believed that this hydrophobic character is advantageous in the present invention.
The type zeolites useful in this invention freely sorb normal hexane and have a pore dimension greater than about 5 Angstroms. In addition, the structure must provide constrained access to larger molecules. It is sometimes possible to judge from a known crystal structure whether such constrained access exists. For example, if the only pore windows in a crystal are formed by 8-membered rings of oxygen atoms, then access by molecules of larger cross-section than normal hexane is excluded and the zeolite is not of the desired type. Windows of 10-membered rings are preferred, although, in some instances, excessive puckering or pore blockage may render these catalysts ineffective. Twelve-membered rings do not generally appear to offer sufficient constraint to produce the advantageous conversion, although puckered structures exist such as TMA offretite which is a known effective zeolite. Also, structures can be conceived, due to pore blockage or other cause, that may be operative.
Rather than attempt to judge from crystal structure whether or not a catalyst possesses the necessary constrained access, a simple determination of the "constraint index" may be made by passing continuously a mixture of an equal weight of normal hexane and 3-methylpentane over a small sample, approximately 1 gram or less, of zeolite at atmospheric pressure according to the following procedure. A sample of the zeolite, in the form of pellets or extrudate, is crushed to a particle size about that of coarse sand and mounted in a glass tube. Prior to testing, the zeolite is treated with a stream of air at 1000� F. for at least 15 minutes. The zeolite is then flushed with helium and the temperature adjusted between 550� F. and 950� F. to give an overall conversion between 10% and 60%. The mixture of hydrocarbons is passed at 1 liquid hourly space velocity (i.e., 1 volume of liquid hydrocarbon per volume of zeolite per hour) over the zeolite with a helium dilution to give a helium to total hydrocarbon mole ratio of 4:1. After 20 minutes on stream, a sample of the effluent is taken and analyzed, most conveniently by gas chromatography, to determine the fraction remaining unchanged for each of the two hydrocarbons.
The "constraint index" is calculated as follows: ##EQU1##
The constraint index approximates the ratio of the cracking rate constants for the two hydrocarbons. Catalysts suitable for the present invention are those having a constraint index in the approximate range of 1 to 12. Constraint index (CI) values for some typical catalysts are:
______________________________________CAS C.I.______________________________________ZSM-5 8.3ZSM-11 8.7ZSM-12 2ZSM-38 2ZSM-35 4.5TMA Offretite 3.7Beta 0.6ZSM-4 0.5H-Zeolon 0.5REY 0.4Amorphous Silica-Alumina 0.6Erionite 38______________________________________
It is to be realized that the above constraint index values typically characterize the specified zeolites but that such are the cumulative result of several variables used in determination and calculation thereof. Thus, for a given zeolite depending on the temperature employed within the aforenoted range of 550� F. to 950� F. with accompanying conversion between 10% and 60%, the constraint index may vary within the indicated approximate range of 1 to 12. Likewise, other variables such as the crystal size of the zeolite, the presence of possibly occluded contaminants and binders intimately combined with the zeolite may affect the constraint index. It will accordingly be understood by those skilled in the art that the constraint index, as utilized herein, while affording a highly useful means for characterizing the zeolites of interest is approximate, taking into consideration the manner of its determination, with the probability, in some instances, of compounding variable extremes. However, in all instances, at a temperature within the above-specified range of 550� F. to 950� F., the constraint index will have a value for any given zeolite of interest herein within the approximate range of 1 to 12.
The class of zeolites defined herein is exemplified by ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-35,
ZSM-38 and other similar materials. U.S. Pat. No. 3,702,886 describing and claiming ZSM-5 is incorporated herein by reference.
ZSM-11 is more particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,709,979, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
ZSM-12 is more particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,449, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. ZSM-38 is more particularly described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,046,859.
The synthetic ZSM-35 zeolite possesses a definite distinguishing crystalline structure whose x-ray diffraction pattern shows substantially the significant lines set forth in Table II. It is observed that this x-ray diffraction pattern (with respect to significant lines) is similar to that of natural ferrierite with a notable exception being that natural ferrierite patterns exhibit a significant line at 11.33A. Close examination of some individual samples of ZSM-35 show a very weak line at 11.3-11.5A. This very weak line, however, is determined not to be a significant line for ZSM-35.

A further characteristic of ZSM-35 is its sorptive capacity proving said zeolite to have increased capacity for 2-methylpentane (with respect to n-hexane sorption by the ratio n-hexane/2-methylpentane) when compared with a hydrogen form of natural ferrierite resulting from calcination of an ammonium exchanged form. The characteristic sorption ratio n-hexane/2-methylpentane for ZSM-35 (after calcination of 600� C.) is less than 10, whereas that ratio for the natural ferrierite is substantially greater than 10, for example, as high as 34 or higher.
Zeolite ZSM-35 can be suitably prepared by preparing a solution containing sources of an alkali metal oxide, preferably sodium oxide, an organic nitrogen-containing oxide, an oxide of aluminum, an oxide of silicon in water and having a composition, in terms of mole ratios of oxides, falling within the following ranges:
______________________________________R+ Broad Preferred______________________________________R+ + M+ 0.2-1.0 0.3-0.9OH- /SiO2 0.05-0.5 0.07-0.49H2 O/OH- 41-500 100-250SiO2 /Al2 O3 8.8-200 12-60______________________________________
wherein R is an organic nitrogen-containing cation derived from pyrrolidine or ethylenediamine and M is an alkali metal ion, and maintaining the mixture until crystals of the zeolite are formed. (The quantity of OH- is calculated only from the inorganic sources of alkali without any organic base contribution.) Thereafter, the crystals are separated from the liquid and recovered. Typical reaction conditions consist of heating the foregoing reaction mixture to a temperature of from about 90� C. to about 400� C. for a period of time of from about 6 hours to about 100 days. A more preferred temperature range is from about 150� C. to about 400� C. with the amount of time at a temperature in such range being from about 6 hours to about 80 days.
The digestion of the gel particles is carried out until crystals form. The solid product is separated from the reaction medium, as by cooling the whole to room temperature, filtering and water washing. The crystalline product is dried, e.g., at 230� F., for from about 8 to 24 hours.
The specific zeolites described, when prepared in the presence of organic cations, or catalytically inactive, possibly because the intracrystalline free space is occupied by organic cations from the forming solution. They may be activated by heating in an inert atmosphere at 1000� F. for 1 hour, for example, followed by base exchange with ammonium salts followed by calcination at 1000� F. in air. The presence of organic cations in the forming solution may not be absolutely essential to the formation of this type zeolite; however, the presence of these cations does appear to favor the formation of this special type of zeolite. More generally, it is desirable to activate this type catalyst by base exchange with ammonium salts followed by calcination in air at about 1000� F. for from about 15 minutes to about 24 hours.
Natural zeolites may sometimes be converted to this type zeolite catalyst by various activation procedures and other treatments such as base exchange, steaming, alumina extraction and calcination, in combinations. Natural minerals which may be so treated include ferrierite, brewsterite, stilbite, dachiardite, epistilbite, heulandite, clinoptilolite. The preferred crystalline aluminosilicates are ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-38, and ZSM-35, with ZSM-5 particularly preferred.
The catalyst of this invention may be in the hydrogen form, but they will contain a Group 2B metal, such as zinc, a Group 8 metal, such as palladium and magnesium. It will be understood that "metal" includes also its compound form, especially the oxide or the sulfide. It is desirable to calcine the catalyst after base exchange.
In a preferred aspect of this invention, the catalysts hereof are selected as those having a crystal framework density in the dry hydrogen form, of not substantially below about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter. Therefore, the preferred catalysts of this invention are those having a constraint index as defined above of about 1 to about 12, a silica-to-alumina of at least about 12 and a dried crystal density of not less than about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter. The dried density for known structures may be calculated from the number of silicon plus aluminum atoms per 1000 cubic Angstroms, as given, e.g., on page 19 of the article on zeolite structure by W. M. Meier. This paper, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, is included in "Proceedings of the Conference on Molecular Sieves, London, April, 1967," published by the Society of Chemical Industry, London, 1968. When the crystal structure is unknown, the crystal framework density may be determined by classical pyknometer techniques. For example, it may be determined by immersing the dried hydrogen form of the zeolite in an organic solvent which is not sorbed by the crystal. It is possible that the unusual sustained activity and stability of this class of zeolite is associated with its high crystal anionic framework density of not less than about 1.6 grams per cubic centimeter. This high density, of course, must be associated with a relatively small amount of free space within the crystal, which might be expected to result in more stable structures. This free space, however, is important as the locus of catalytic activity.

The crystal size of the synthesized zeolite has been found to be an important factor affecting the desired conversion of the described alcohol and/or ether charge stock to low molecular weight olefins and paraxylene. The crystal size of the above-described crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite employed in the process of the invention is at least about 1 micron, being in the approximate range of 1-20 microns and particularly in the range of 1-6 microns. With the use of crystals within such size range, distinctly higher selectivity for production of the desired C2 -C3 olefins and paraxylene has been observed as compared with comparable use of smaller size crystals.
When synthesized in the alkali metal form, the zeolite is conveniently converted to the hydrogen form, generally by intermediate formation of the ammonium form as a result of ammonium ion exchange and calcination of the ammonium form to yield the hydrogen form. In addition to the hydrogen form, other forms of the zeolite wherein the original alkali metal has been reduced to less than about 0.1 percent by weight may be used.
The preferred catalyst will contain from about 0.1% to about 10%, preferably about 1% to about 5% by weight of the Group 2B component, of, as for example, zinc, about 0.1% to about 5%, preferably about 0.5% to about 2% by weight of the Group 8 component, for example, palladium and about 0.1% to about 30%, preferably 5% to about 15% by weight of the magnesium component. These concentrations apply whether they concern the metal per se or its compound form.
It may be desirable in some instances to incorporate the zeolite in another material resistant to the temperatures and other conditions employed in the conversion process. Such matrix materials are to be distinguished from the aforenoted inert diluents and include synthetic or naturally occurring substances as well as inorganic materials such as clay, alumina or other metal oxides. The latter may be either naturally occurring or in the form of gelatinous precipitates or gels including mixtures of silica and metal oxides. Naturally occurring clays which can be composited with the zeolite include those of the montmorillonite and kaolin families, which families include the sub-bentonites and the kaolins commonly known as Dixie, McNamee-Georgia and Florida clays or others in which the main mineral constituent is halloysite, kaolinite, dickite, nacrite or anauxite. Such clays can be used in the raw states as originally mined or initially subjected to calcination, acid treatment or chemical modification.
In addition to the foregoing materials, the zeolites employed herein may be composited with a porous matrix material, such as alumina, silica-alumina, silica-magnesia, silica-zirconia, silica-thoria, silica-berylia, silica-titania as well as ternary compositions, such as silica-alumina-thoria, silica-alumina-zirconia, silica-alumina-magnesia and silica-magnesia-zirconia. The matrix may be in the form of a cogel. The relative proportion of finely divided zeolite and inorganic oxide gel matrix may vary widely with the zeolite content ranging from between 1 to about 99 percent by weight and more usually in the range of about 5 to about 80 percent by weight of the composite. In the process of this invention, the feed consisting essentially of one or more of the alcohols is contacted with the above-described catalyst bed at a temperature of about 500� F. to about 950� F. and preferably about 600� F. to about 850� F.; a contact time equivalent to or the same as a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of about 1 to about 100 preferably about 2 to about 40, it being understood that WHSV signifies pounds of feed per pound of zeolite per hour; and at an absolute pressure of about 0.2 to about 50 atmospheres, preferably between about 1 and about 30 atmospheres.
The reaction product effluent from the process of the invention contains steam and a hydrocarbon mixture particularly rich in the light olefins, ethylene and propylene with some aromatic hydrocarbons with high selectivity for paraxylene. Generally, a major fraction of the total olefins, calculated on a mol basis, is ethylene plus propylene. The predominant aromatic hydrocarbons are monocyclic hydrocarbons, notably C8 and C9 + aromatics with a high proportion of paraxylene. Thus, the predominant hydrocarbons are all valuable petrochemicals. The steam and hydrocarbons are separated from one another by methods well known in the art.
Catalyst deactivated by coke deposited during the process may be regenerated by calcining in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, e.g. air, at an elevated temperature within the approximate range of 600� F. to 1200� F. for a period of between about 1 and about 30 hours.
The following examples will serve to illustrate the process of this invention without limiting the same:
ZSM-5C was made conventionally using the tetrapropylammonium and sodium cations. It was calcined and ion exchanged with the ammonium cation to yield the NH4 ZSM-5C utilized as described hereinafter.
Eleven grams of this NH4 ZSM-5C was calcined for 2 hours at 1000� F., 300 ml. air flow. Then 2.63 of Zn(NO3)2. 6H2 was added to 16 ml. of water and the calcined catalyst was added thereto with stirring. The material was dried at 2 hours at 266� F. and was then calcined for 2 hours at 1000� F. in air.
Palladium chloride, 0.095 g., was dissolved in concentrated ammonium hydroxide and this solution was diluted to 18 ml. with hot water. The ZnZSM-5C was added with stirring. After completion of the impregnation, the ZnPdZSM-5 was dried for 2 hours at 266� F. and then was calcined for 2 hours at 1000� F.
To 10 ml. of water was added 1.85 g. of magnesium acetate and this solution was added to the ZnPdZSM-5C, which was 40/60 mesh. The excess water was evaporated under a heat lamp and the product was calcined for 17 hours at 572� F. and at 896� F. for 4 hours.
The product, ZnPdMgOZSM-5C, contained 0.5% palladium, 4.5% zinc and 10% magnesium oxide.
The conversion reactions were carried out in a vertically-mounted vycor microreactor, heated by a low heat capacity resistance furnace. The catalyst (40-60 mesh) was centered between layers of pyrex chips. The feed, 20% wt. % methanol in water was pumped upflow over the catalyst bed. The reactor effluent passed through heat traced lines to a heated sample valve mounted on an HP 5750 gas chromatograph.
It will be understood that the feed may comprise the C1 -C4 alkanol alone, or admixed with water or admixed with corresponding ethers, i.e., those containing a total of 2-8 carbon atoms. The reactor effluent was analyzed on a 12 ft. 1/8" column packed with n-octane on Porosil "C". The gas chromatograph program consisted of a five minute initial hold at room temperature, followed by a programmed heating rate of 15� C./minute to 160� C. and final hold. Sensitivity factors for hydrocarbon components were taken as unity, for dimethylether 3.0 and for methanol 3.6. Conversion was calculated on the basis of the CH2 content of methanol feed. The hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide content of the effluent gas stream was monitored qualitatively by periodic sampling and gas chromatograph analysis with the HP refinery gas analyzer.
The conversion reactions can be run at from about 400� F. to about 1000� F., preferably about 500� F. to 700� F., at an LHSV of from about 0.1 to about 10, preferably about 0.5 to 3 and at a pressure of from about 0.5 to about 20 atmospheres, preferably about 1 to 5 atmospheres.
A representative listing of the hydrocarbon product distribution for the magnesium oxide modified catalyst is presented in Table 1.

With methanol as the feed, it has been found that to get the maximum ethylene yield, the zinc, palladium, and magnesium must be added to the zeolite in a specific order as described hereinabove, i.e., by adding zinc, palladium, and magnesium oxide, in that preferred order. Furthermore, it is preferred that the zinc, palladium and magnesium be impregnated into the zeolite. It may also be added by exchanging the zinc and palladium and by impregnating the magnesium.
Table 2 presents selectivity data obtained during methanol conversion over a ZSM-5 catalyst comprising the ions shown. All ions were made a part of the catalyst by impregnation under conditions similar to those of the above-noted catalyst preparation. The conversion reaction was conducted using 20 wt. % of methanol in water in accordance with the procedure disclosed above.

Grainger first won silver at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 in the woman's Quadruple Sculls. In Athens in 2004 she won silver in the coxless pairs. In Beijing 2008 she won her third silver, again in the Quadruple Sculls.
Grainger has won eight medals at World Championships between 1997 and 2011. She has also won the Rowing World Cup in the Quadruple Sculls in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010 and the Double Sculls in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

With four Olympic medals, Grainger shares the record as Great Britain's most decorated female Olympian with Rebecca Adlington.
Early life and education[edit]
Grainger's family moved to Netherley, Aberdeenshire.
She attended Bearsden Academy.
Grainger has an Honours law degree from Edinburgh University, a Master of Philosophy degree in Medical Law from Glasgow University and a PhD in Homicide from King's College London. On 23 July 2013, Grainger was awarded a PhD in Law from King's College London (KCL) and was subsequently made a fellow at the university. She remarked "Without planning it both my Olympic career and my PhD have met at the same time and the culmination for both is 2012 – not by design."
Grainger took up Rowing at the University of Edinburgh in 1993 and represents Edinburgh's St Andrew Boat Club and/or Marlow Rowing Club in rowing events. She trained on the River Dee.
She is a three-time Olympic silver medalist. She first won silver at Sydney in 2000 in the woman's quadruple sculls with Guin Batten, Gillian Lindsay and Miriam Batten losing to a German team. Four years later in Athens in 2004, She won silver again when she took part in the coxless pairs with Cath Bishop losing to Georgeta Damian and Viorica Susanu of Romania. She returned to the quadruple sculls in Beijing 2008 when she won her third silver with Annie Vernon, Debbie Flood and Frances Houghton narrowly losing to China after taking the lead for some of the race.
Grainger has also won eight medals at World Championships. The first of these was a bronze in 1997 in the eight, then a gold with Bishop in 2003, a gold in 2005 with the quadruple scull, with Houghton, Sarah Winckless, and Rebecca Romero, and in 2006 her quadruple scull were promoted to gold following a drugs test on the winning Russian crew. This quad had Debbie Flood instead of Romero, who had retired after the 2005 world championships. Another gold came in 2007, again in the quadruple sculls, with Annie Vernon replacing the injured Sarah Winckless. In 2009, having switched to the single scull after the Beijing Olympics, Grainger claimed a surprise silver at the World Championships in Poland. In 2010, Grainger teamed up with Anna Watkins in the Double Sculls and they embarked on an unbeaten season, culminating in victory in November in the World Championships in Lake Karapiro, New Zealand and then defending the title in an injury disrupted season in 2011, in Bled, Slovenia.
She has also won the Rowing World Cup in the Quadruple Sculls in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010 and the Double Sculls in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
On 3 August 2012 she won an Olympic gold medal at London in the double sculls with Anna Watkins.
On 14 March 2015 Grainger was part of the composite crew that won the Women's Eights Head of the River Race on the River Thames in London, setting a time of 18:58.6 for the 4 1⁄4-mile (6.8 km) Championship Course from Mortlake to Putney. The crew comprised: Heather Stanning - Army RC; Helen Glover - Minerva-Bath RC; Zoe Lee - Imperial College BC; Katherine Grainger - Marlow RC; Melanie Wilson; Caragh McMurtry - Southampton Coalporters ARC; Olivia Carnegie-Brown - Oxford Brookes University BC; Jessica Eddie - London RC; cox Phelan Hill - Leander Club.[2]
In July 2008, Grainger appeared in the BBC Two cooking show Chinese Food Made Easy with Ching He Huang. In the show Ching taught her how to cook a healthy version of sweet and sour pork. The show attracted 2.9 million viewers at a share of 13% that night.
She was elected President of the Edinburgh University Boat Club in 1996/97. She was elected the Edinburgh University Sports Union's female athlete of the winner (Eva Bailey Cup) in 1995/96 and 1996/97 and was inducted to the University's Sports Hall of Fame on 29 May 2008.
She was elected as Honorary President of the Scottish Amateur Rowing Association in November 2005, and a Steward of Henley Royal Regatta in 2008, only the third rower to be elected while still competing.[3] In the 2012 Olympic Games in London Grainger was crowned Olympic champion with a gold medal.
She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2006 Birthday Honours
She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to rowing.[4][5]
In March 2013, she became patron of the National Coastwatch Institution.

Last month we saw a hero dog save his master who he thought was drowning.
Now we have this man, who bashed through ice to rescue a drowning dog from a frozen river in Russia.
The video is actually from March 2014, as some Reddit users have pointed out since the video started making its way around online.
The 21-year old man who saved the dog is a mill worker named Ivan. After the rescue, the dog ran away, but Ivan ran into him again at a store where he was buying some vodka.
He then adopted the dog whom he named Rex.
Never before has a soda commercial made you feel so many things all at once.

No, no one spiked your eggnog. This is all too real.
A woman calling herself "Bumble" has been spotted walking around the neighborhood dressed as the Abominable Snow Monster of the North from "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" with her dog named Blizzard.
After images of the duo spread online, residents were all like WTF?
According to Fox 11:
When asked what she was doing walking the streets of Allouez, Bumble said she was visiting from Misfit Island.
She also said she is simply there to "bring joy, happiness."
But she forgot to mention "terror," and "confusion."

OU football: OU's success rate will depend on its deep stable of running backs
Ford only carried the ball six times Saturday, but led Oklahoma with 34 rushing yards.
Just about every time he's entered a game this season, Ford has made some kind of noticeable impact. He picked up 14 yards on one mid-third quarter carry when the Sooners were still very much alive in the game.
Excitement has built up around the freshman from Cypress, Texas, since fall camp, when a video of Ford plowing through starting defensive tackle Jordan Phillips in the Oklahoma Drill surfaced. Given how well Phillips has played this season, the impressive collision clearly revealed more positive about Ford than it did negative about Phillips.
Entering Saturday's game, Oklahoma was averaging 246 yards per game on the ground. It managed only 133 net rushing yards against the Longhorns, but that total includes the yards Blake Bell lost on sacks.
Each of the Sooners' four leading rushers Saturday — Ford, Millard, Williams and Clay — averaged at least 4.6 yards per carry.
The Sooners' best offensive drives against Texas came when they relied on the run game, and they've clearly got the horses to have a powerful rushing attack if they choose to use it.

Continental shrinks EV power electronics module by one third
The unit provides a continuous power output of 20 kW; the weight is now 8 kg and the space has been reduced to five liters. The power density of the module has increased significantly because the inverter uses an innovative semiconductor module.
The modular approach enables customer engineers to modify just a few components to adapt the device to the respective application in electric vehicle as well as in hybrid vehicles. The module is already in use in HEVs such as the Audi Q5 as well as in purely electric vehicles, the company said.
Regardless of where the unit is installed in the vehicle, it always takes the function of a mediator between a high-voltage battery and the electric motor. It ensures that energy stored in the battery in the form of direct current reaches the electric motor in the form of three-phase alternating current in the right rating and at the right frequency. Those are the parameters that control the electric motor. The power electronics also enables the reverse procedure, known as recuperation. Here, the electric motor acts as a generator to produce energy. The power electronics converts that energy into direct current and route it to the battery. Power electronics also comes into play when the driver wants to reverse down. The controls then change the polarity of the electric motor, thus reversing its direction. The direct current converter (DC-DC converter), part of the power-electronics package that Continental integrated in one housing, supplies the 12-volt electrical systems on hybrids and electric cars.

From Tulsa World: "Margaritaville's 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar opens over holiday weekend" and "First taste of Margaritaville to open Friday at River Spirit Casino"
Guests at the 5 o'Clock Somewhere bar, opening Friday, will be greeted by stiltwalkers, giveaways and the largest bar of its kind in the nation.
At 5,000 square feet, it's the first branded venue of the Margaritaville expansion at River Spirit Casino, and it opens at 11 a.m., July 3.
"It's the first time everyone will get a glimpse of what to expect when the rest of our Margaritaville at River Spirit expansion opens," said Jerry Floyd, general manager for River Spirit Casino.
The bar is in the center of the current casino, in place of the former Mystic River Lounge. Part roof, part open air, the bar is designed with an island feel. A mural depicting the ocean and beach will enclose the bar, which will contain palm trees.
This is the next milestone in the construction phase of the River Spirit Phase II resort, which includes a 27-story hotel and a Margaritaville Casino at River Spirit on the banks of the Arkansas River.
The casino and restaurants are planned to be completed in late fall of 2016, with the theater and the hotel tower opening in the winter of 2016.

Innovative drink cooling porcelain called iceDrops - now featured on Kickstarter.
Bringing Cool Back to Spirits Everywhere Innovative drink cooling porcelain called iceDrops - now featured on Kickstarter. Saratoga Springs, NY, April 17, 2013 -- Our company is thrilled to release their introductory line of creative and stylish drink cooling products called iceDrops – initially available on the Kickstarter platform. iceDrops are porcelain based cooling shapes that lower the temperature of your drink without diluting it. The iceDrops concept advances the beverage accessory market by offering an interesting new option to cool drinks that is not only functional, but also pleasing to the eye. The proprietary recipe of porcelain used was found to be ideal because of its inert, non-porous and thermodynamic properties. "We came up with the idea of iceDrops during a hot summer afternoon at a friend's cottage", noted co-founder Jason Post. "We thought there had to be a better way to cool our drinks without diluting them." he said. "We were aware of soapstone cubes on the market, but we knew we had to improve upon the basic and rudimentary designs by crafting our own interesting shapes. We also wanted to avoid the softness of soapstone, which we felt scratched too easily and imbued a mineral taste." There are a number of intriguing designs to choose from on the Kickstarter page. From hearts and flowers to X's & O's or even working nuts and bolts, there is a broad range of options to purchase. In fact, iceDrops have a nearly unlimited potential in terms of shape, style and color. The company is planning on expanding its operations in the near future, to allow for more complex designs and shapes. "There is an incredibly broad market for this concept." said Post. "We see tremendous opportunities in the retail, gift giving and corporate branding markets." Please contact Jason for more information or visit the Kickstarter page at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icedrops/icedrops-undiluted-cool Hip. Artisan. Functional. iceDrops – undiluted cool. About JDNP Inc: iceDrops is an innovative drink cooling company that produces porcelain products to cool any drink without dilution! Contact : Jason Post JDNP Inc.

Data management has been presented as a hierarchical structure incorporating the concepts of list processing. The ability to control the structure includes the facility to manage data at each of several levels within a compatible framework. Such a unified approach allows the proper definition of functions that might be incorporated in the actual circuit logic. The distinction between logical and physical data structures provides the user with a flexible level of data independence that is compatible with each level. This integrated approach to the management of data structures may permit the investigation of other techniques that are applicable to data retrieval. Experimental approaches to problemsolving, utilizing heuristic programs and minimaxing,8,9 have been tried and could be very useful in the area of information retrieval.

A great hyips monitoring organization invests its individual funds into HYIP firms and so can give recommend and manual from expertise.
HYIP organizations have specified pay out periods wherever they shell out large returns on investments created with them. This is to bring in additional buyers and is generally throughout their beginning stages.

- pulsed laser deposition
Self-assembled 1–3-type Fe:LaSrFeO4 epitaxial nanocomposite film has been prepared using pulsed laser deposition by decomposing a ceramic La0.5Sr0.5FeO3 target in a high-vacuum system. Impacts of deposition temperature and energy density on the evolution of the microstructure and crystallinity of the Fe:LaSrFeO4 film have been investigated. It is found that Fe nanopillars are highly c-axis oriented at lower deposition temperature, and epitaxial at higher temperature, however, the epitaxial quality of the Fe:LaSrFeO4 film decreases if the deposition temperature is further increased. Besides the deposition temperature, the crystallinity of the Fe nanopillars can also be influenced by the energy density. Only at a specific temperature and an energy density, can high-quality 1–3-type Fe:LaSrFeO4 epitaxial nanocomposite film be yielded. Compared with the morphology image, the magnetic domains of Fe for the optimized sample can be clearly observed by magnetic force microscopy. Moreover, it is found that the saturation magnetization and coercivity of the sample under both field directions of parallel and perpendicular to nanowires are 1314 emu cm−3, 461 Oe and 1070 emu cm−3, 412 Oe, respectively.
