Quakers

It was not until the twentieth century that furfural became important commercially. The Quaker Oats Company, in the process of looking for new and better uses for oat hulls found that acid hydrolysis resulted in the formation of furfural, and was able to develop an economical process for isolation and purification. In 1922 Quaker announced the availability of several tons per month. The first large-scale appHcation was as a solvent for the purification of wood rosin. Since then, a number of furfural plants have been built world-wide for the production of furfural and downstream products. Some plants produce as Httie as a few metric tons per year, the larger ones manufacture in excess of 20,000 metric tons.

The tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol available from the Quaker Oats Company, or the Practical grade from the Eastman Kodak Company, has been used. If the material a ailable does not hydrogenate satisfactorily, it may be purified by hydrogenation over Raney nickel at 150 /100-200 atmospheres pressure. A sample of good quality boils at 177-178°/740 mm. and does not become dark-colored when a few milliliters are shaken with 1 drop of concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature.

Dalton was a quiet, unassuming man and a devout Quaker. When presented to King William IV of England, Dalton refused to wear the colorful court robes because of his religion. His friends persuaded him to wear the scarlet robes of Oxford University, from which he had a doctor s degree. Dalton was color-blind, so he saw himself clothed in gray. 

Among important collections of alchemical manuscripts in Yorkshire are the Clifford family papers held by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in Leeds, as well as the Birkbeck Collection of religious and esoteric documents at Leeds University, which had been accumulated by Yorkshire Quakers. 

When he was a boy, John Dalton bought his mother a pair of bright red stockings. His mother was dismayed. She was a staunch Quaker, and Quaker women preferred to dress drably and wear neutral colors. Dalton knew this, but the stockings appeared drab to him. He later diagnosed his problem. He was color-blind. 

Mineral Oil Hydraulic Fluids. The majority of the components of mineral oil and water-in-oil emulsion hydraulic fluids are not on the TRI. Some water-in-oil emulsion hydraulic fluids contain ethylene glycol (Houghton 1992 Quaker 1993), which is subject to reporting under the TRI. Nonetheless, since ethylene glycol is used in numerous other applications and represents < 10% of the total volume of water-in-oil emulsion hydraulic fluids, it is not anticipated that TRI information concerning releases of ethylene glycol will be indicative of water-in-oil emulsion hydraulic fluid use. It may be difficult to estimate the release of mineral oil or water-in-oil emulsion hydraulic fluids to water by identifying occurrences of mineral oil (the major constituent) in water at a particular facility since mineral oils also find use in numerous other products and applications, and concentrations of the components cannot always be uniquely associated with mineral oil hydraulic fluid release.
