Jacobs–Dorr An alternative name for the *Dorr-Oliver process for making phosphoric acid, adopted

after the technology was acquired by the Jacobs Company in 1974. Twenty-seven plants were operating

in 1989.

James An early process for making mixed oxygenated organic compounds by the catalytic oxidation of petro-

leum fractions. The products were aldehydes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Developed by J.H. James at the

Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, PA.

Jarosite [Named after the mineral; rst recognized at Jarosa, Spain] A process for removing iron from the

leach liquors from hydrometallurgical operations. First used in 1964 in processing zinc sulfate liquors at

Asturiana de Zinc, Spain. Also used for recovering zinc from the residues from the electrolytic zinc process.

Jindal A direct-reduction ironmaking process using coal as the reductant. Two plants were operating in India

in 1997, and two more were under construction. See DR.

Jones A regenerative process for making carbon black by pyrolyzing petroleum fractions. The gaseous

coproduct can be added to town gas.

Joosten Also known as the two-shot system. A chemical grouting system for solidifying permeable sandy

masses and masonry composed of sandy materials. Successive injections of sodium silicate and calcium

chloride solutions are made through a pipe, which terminates in the ground to be hardened. Calcium silicate

precipitates and binds the soil particles together. Invented by H. Joosten in 1928. See also Siroc.
