Abstract: A polyolefin plastic composition having improved transparency and reduced molding shrinkage, which consists essentially of at least one polymer or copolymer of an aliphatic monoolefin and dibenzylidene sorbitol, the proportion of the dibenzylidene sorbitol being 0.1 to 0.7% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A method for separating oil from water, wherein, in order to simplify the treatment processes, to improve separation efficiency, and to make possible the recycling of added solvents, in the course of separation treatment of oil from waste water containing fats and oils, paraffinic hydrocarbons of low specific gravities, as extractive solvents for fats and oils, and inorganic or organic coagulants are added to the waste water; the mixture is then stirred and allowed to stand; the oil-containing scum separating as an upper layer is then removed so as to separate the oil from water, and furthermore, the solvent previously added is recovered from the oil-containing scum so removed by means of distillation.
