    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To observe dynamic interface development by generating droplet flow containing a first liquid phase, moving the droplets in a specified track, and measuring the coverage of the interface coated with at least one of molecular species at a plurality of points in the track in non-contact manner. SOLUTION: A dropletor 1 generates and releases uniform droplets 2 at regular intervals. The liquid drops 2 move along a droplet trajectory shown by an arrow 3. A laser 4 radiates laser beam to the droplets in the track through a semisilvered mirror 5 and a lens 6. The light rays reflected by the droplets 2, especially the surface of the molecules, enter a detector 7 through the lens 6 and the semi-transparent mirror 5. The detector 7 enables the droplets to move in the track in the direction shown by an arrow 8 to observe the droplets 2 having the coverage in different generation steps. The detection signals are analyzed by an analysis unit. By this method, the interfacial adsorption of a substance can quickly and continuously be measured in non-contact manner.

    Abstract: A novel encapsulated fertiliser granulate (I) is obtained by applying to a starting fertiliser granulate (II) aqueous solutions containing (a) a polyelectrolyte (PE) and (b) oppositely charged polyvalent ions (MI). Also claimed is a fertilisation method involving applying (I) to agricultural land. Preferably PE has a solubility in water, at 20 deg C and pH 1-14, of at least 0.1 g per litre. MI consists of alkaline earth metal, zinc, aluminium or iron ions; and/or a second polyelectrolyte (PE') having the opposite charge to PE. PE and MI are especially both bio-polymers. (II) is optionally further treated with (c) a polyfunctional compound (V) which reacts with PE or MI to form at least two bonds, during or in combination with application of (a) and (b); and/or (d) an aqueous dispersion of an optionally salified copolymer if 75-90 wt.% ethylene and 10-25 wt.% alpha -olefinically unsaturated 3-8C carboxylic acid, before or in combination with application of (a) and (b), specifically such that the amount of copolymer is 1-50 wt.% based on PE and MI.

    Abstract: The method is used to determine the size distribution of at least two types of fluorescent particles in a sample. The particles in the sample are scattered and light illuminates the sample along a predetermined beam direction. At least one scattered light intensity value and at least one fluorescent light intensity value are measured for each particle. The particles are allocated to a respective particle type on the basis of the position of their measured value pair in a region in a three dimensional space which is defined by the intensity values. Each region has at least one local maximum of frequency of occurrence of the measured value pair in the space for the particle type. The relative frequency of occurrence of the fluorescence light intensity value for each particle is determined and is used to calculate the relative particle size distribution for the corresponding particle types. The relative size distributions for the individual particle types are normalised with respect to each other using the position of the regions in the three dimensional space. A common relative particle size distribution is formed for the particles of all types.
