Effective use of dispersants in wallboard containing foam

InactiveUS20060278128A1Without decreasing slurry fluidityImprove setting timeCeramicwareSlurryGypsum
Effective use of dispersants in wallboard containing foam results from a method where stucco is mixed with a first dispersant and a first quantity of water to form a gypsum slurry. A soap is blended with a second dispersant and a second quantity of water to make a foam. Subsequently, the foam is combined with the slurry. Choice of different first and second dispersants and their relative amounts allows control of the size distribution of the foam bubbles in the slurry and the resulting voids in the gypsum core. Use of the same dispersant in both the mixer and the foam water provides a boost in efficacy of the dispersant.

Method for reducing urea deposits in an aftertreatment system

Various systems and methods are described for controlling a diesel aftertreatment system coupled to an exhaust system of an engine which includes a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst and a diesel particulate filter (PF). In one example, a threshold amount of urea injected to the SCR catalyst is adjusted based on an amount of soot generated by the engine and the total amount of urea injected to the SCR catalyst is limited by the threshold. For example, when the amount of soot generated by the engine is below a first threshold amount, the threshold amount of urea injection is reduced. When the amount of soot generated by the engine is above a second threshold amount, which is greater than the first threshold amount, the threshold amount of urea injection is increased.
