Abstract:
Rinse-added fabric softening compositions containing a fabric softening active system at least 10% of which consists of certain di(higher alkyl) cyclic amines, and relatively low concentrations of polymeric soil release agents such as hydroxyether cellulosic polymers, copolymeric blocks of terephthalate and ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and cationic guar gums.
Abstract:
A method for the regeneration of an electrolyte bath used for an electroless metallization process. A partial flow of electrolyte is removed from the process vessel and regenerated by dialysis or electrodialysis. Metallization components are replenished. The partial flow is returned to the process vessel.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising chitosan in the form of a network of nano-sized fibres. There is also provided a process for making such compositions. The compositions have improved solubility and activity. The compositions are useful in hair care, skin care, odour control, wound care, blood management, sanitary compositions, oral care, film formation, hard surface treatment, fabric treatment, release of hydrophobic or hydrophilic materials, plant care, water purification and drug delivery.
Abstract:
Crystallization of a melt is induced by causing the melt to flow downwardly in a gap which is defined by upwardly moving cooled walls so that crystallate adheres to the walls and is carried upwardly for recovery. The walls are formed by endless belts which are cooled by fluid sprayed from nozzles. The walls are adjustable so as to be parallel or upwardly divergent.
Abstract:
A process for the reduction of nitrogen oxides in flue gases and engine exhaust gases is improved by contacting the gases with a zeolite catalyst containing oxides of the transition elements from Periods 4, 5 and 6 of the Periodic Table of Elements or oxides of the rare earths. In particular, faujasite zeolites, mordenites and SiO.sub.2 -rich zeolites are preferred.
Abstract:
An improvement in the removal of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines is achieved by adding urea or a urea-containing reducing agent to the exhaust gases and contacting the gases under oxidizing conditions with a zeolite containing catalyst.
Abstract:
The inventive radar rangefinder has a transmitting/receiving antenna (22) for surveying a danger area. Said antenna is located in a radome housing (12), on a rotatable platform (18). A reflector is placed at a known distance in order to calibrate the device. This reflector is formed by an auxiliary antenna (24) with a connected delay line (26) inside the randome housing (12). The length of the virtual distance of the reflector produced then corresponds to the velocity factor of the delay line used.
Abstract:
In the process for separating and purifying substances by crystallization from the melt under pressure, the melt is subjected to pressure under an inert gas atmosphere and then cooled, whereupon it crystallizes. The residual melt is separated from the resulting crystals, after which the crystals are degassed by reducing the pressure and are caused to sweat, and the sweat oil is separated off.
Abstract:
Process for separating and purifying substances by crystallization from the melt under high pressuresIn the process for separating or purifying substances by crystallization from melts or highly concentrated solutions under high pressures, gas is dissolved in the melt to be crystallized and is expelled again after the crystallization with reduction in the pressure. Still adhering or occluded impurities are thus removed.
Abstract:
Fabric softening compositions which are rapidly biodegradable and particularly shelf stable are disclosed. These compositions contain a specific quaternary ammonium, and are formulated in a narrowly defined pH range.
