(JP1501824-W)      A battery plate separator is a fibrous sheet consisting of two types of fibres inert to electrolyte. The first type of fibres (I) impart to the sheet an absorbency for the electrolyte greater than 90 vol.% and the second type of fibres (II) impart to the sheet an absorbency for the electrolyte of less than 80 vol.% (all measured surfactant-free). The fibrous sheet has an absorbency for the electrolyte of 75-95 vol.%.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   The separator is used in a recombinant storage battery wherein oxygen is formed at the positive plates and is able to migrate the negative plates for electrolytic recombination. The battery shows an improved rate of recombination and less accumulation of hydrogen.    (US4908282-A)      A battery plate separator comprises a sheet of fibres (28) insert to aqueous electrolyte and providing the sheet with absorbency greater than 90% w.r.t. the electrolyte when surfactant-free and second fibres (30) inert to electrolyte and imparting a different absorbency of less than 80%. The fibres are present in a ratio such that sheet absorbency is 75-95%.    The first fibres are pref. of glass and the second are polymeric, partic. polypropylene. The sheet pref. includes a proportion of glass fibres (32) of so large a dia. than they increase the resiliency of the sheet after it has been compressed. The sheet is partic. for a recombinant battery which is assembled, flooded with electrolyte, and unabsorbed electrolyte removed.    ADVANTAGE -   When satd. leaves voids for transferring gas from one plate to another. @(9pp Dwg.No.0/2)@    (ZA8708420-A)      A battery plate separator is a fibrous sheet consisting of two types of fibres inert to electrolyte.
