Abstract:
Embodiments relate to methods for improving the effectiveness of froth flotation separation processes, especially for the mining industry. In particular, a method of improving the removal of a particular material from a comminuted mineral ore by a flotation separation process by the addition of a thermoplastic polymer dispersion.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a composition containing a polymeric blend. The polymeric blend contains (A) from 50 wt% to 90 wt% of a first ethylene-based polymer having a density from 0.895 g/cc to 0.905 g/cc; and a melt index from 0.1 g/10 min to 50 g/10 min; (B) from 8 wt% to 48 wt% of a second ethylene-based polymer having a density from 0.935 g/cc to 0.967 g/cc; and a melt index from 0.1 g/10 min to 180 g/10 min; and from 0.01 wt% to 2.0 wt% of a slip agent, based on the total weight of the polymeric blend. The polymeric blend has (i) an overall density from 0.900 g/cc to 0.925 g/cc; and (ii) a coefficient of friction (COF) after aging for 1 week at 60°C from 0.001 to 0.400. The present disclosure also provides a multilayer film with a first layer containing the composition.
Abstract:
An asymmetric hollow fiber (CMS) carbon molecular sieve is made by providing a dope solution comprised of a polvimide and a solvent, at a temperature greater than 250°C that is less than the storage modulus at a temperature of 250°C, but no more than ten times less as measured using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis from 250°C to a temperature where the polyimide carbonizes. The polvimide is shaped into a hollow polvimide fiber, the solvent removed and the polyimide hollow fiber is heated to pyroiyze the polvimide and form the asymmetric hollow carbon molecular sieve. The asymmetric hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve has a wall that is defined by an inner surface and outer surface of said fiber and the wall has an inner porous support region extending from the inner surface to an outer raicroporous separation region that extends from the inner porous support region to the outer surface. Surprisingly, when the polyimide has the particular storage modulus characteristics, the method allows for the hollow fiber CMS to be made without any pre- treatmenis or additives to inhibit stractural collapse of the inner microporous region.
Abstract:
Provided are oriented films and a process for making oriented films. The process for making the oriented film according to embodiments disclosed herein includes providing a low density polyethylene and an ethylene based copolymer, extruding the low density polyethylene in a first outer layer and the ethylene copolymer in an inner layer to form a multilayer film, and orienting the film to obtain a specific thickness in the first outer layer. The resulting oriented film can provide desirable properties such as heat seal initiation temperature and recyclability, among others.

An asymmetric hollow fiber (CMS) carbon molecular sieve is made by providing a dope solution comprised of a polyimide and a solvent, at a temperature greater than 250°C that is less than the storage modulus at a temperature of 250°C, but no more than ten times less as measured using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis from 250°C to a temperature where the polyimide carbonizes. The polyimide is shaped into a hollow polyimide fiber, the solvent removed and the polyimide hollow fiber is heated to pyrolyze the polyimide and form the asymmetric hollow carbon molecular sieve. The asymmetric hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve has a wall that is defined by an inner surface and outer surface of said fiber and the wall has an inner porous support region extending from the inner surface to an outer microporous separation region that extends from the inner porous support region to the outer surface. Surprisingly, when the polyimide has the particular storage modulus characteristics, the method allows for the hollow fiber CMS to be made without any pretreatments or additives to inhibit structural collapse of the inner microporous region.
