nofootnotes date June 2010 The Dogs of the Dow is an investment strategy popularized by Michael B. O Higgins , in 1991 which proposes that an investor annually select for investment the ten DowJones Industrial Average stocks whose dividend is the highest fraction of their price.

The Dow process is the electrolysis electrolytic method of bromine extraction from brine , and was Herbert Henry Dow s second revolutionary process for generating bromine commercially. This process was patented in 1891. In the original invention, bromide containing brines are treated with sulfuric acid and bleaching powder to oxidize bromide to bromine, which remains dissolved in the water. The aqueous solution is dripped onto burlap, and water is blown through causing bromine to volatilize. Bromine is trapped with iron turnings to give a solution of ferric bromide . Treatment with more iron metal converted the ferric bromide to ferrous bromide via comproportionation . Where desired, free bromine may be obtained by thermal decomposition of ferrous bromide. ref cite patent country US number 460370 inventor H. H. Dow title Process of Extracting Bromine gdate 1891 09 29 ref Before Dow got into the bromine business, brine was evaporated by heating with wood scraps and then crystallized sodium chloride was removed. An oxidizing agent was added, and bromine was formed in the solution. Then bromine was distilled. This was a very complicated and costly process. Dow s Process may also refer to the hydrolysis of chlorobenzene in the preparation of phenol . Benzene can be easily converted to chlorobenzene by electrophilic aromatic substitution . It is treated with dilute sodium hydroxide at 350 ° C and 300 bar to convert it to sodium phenoxide , which yields phenol upon acidification. cn date February 2012 References references DEFAULTSORT Dow Process Category Chemical processes Chem stub ... more details
