Abstract: This invention relates to sulfur based compounds useful in methods of carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide removal.

Abstract: A method for recovering for a material such as an absorbed solute from an ionic liquid is described. In the method, an electric field is applied to the ionic liquid to release the absorbed solute.

Abstract: Described are aromatic amino compounds that are useful to methods of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide removal.

Abstract: A method for capturing carbon dioxide and/or sulfur dioxide from a gaseous mixture using ionic liquid electrospray is described. In the method, the gaseous mixture is exposed to an ionic liquid electrospray plume comprising nanodroplets of an ionic liquid and the carbon dioxide and/or sulfur dioxide present in the gaseous mixture is absorbed by the ionic liquid nanodroplets. The ionic liquid electrospray plume is formed by applying an electric field between an electrospray nozzle and a counter electrode.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions comprising a refrigerant and at least one ionic compound and/or non-ionic absorbent, and also to devices capable of executing an absorption cycle using such compositions as a refrigerant pair. This invention also provides methods and apparatus for cooling using an absorption cycle comprising a refrigerant, and at least one ionic compound and/or non-ionic absorbent as the absorbent.

Abstract: Semiconductor processing compositions comprising amidoxime compounds having two or more amidoxime functional groups and their use in semiconductor processing to remove photoresist, polymeric materials, etching residues and copper oxides from semiconductor substrates, particularly substrates comprising copper, low-k dielectric material, titanium nitride, and/or titanium oxynitride.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of clay compositions, and to tick- or insect-repellent compositions containing clay, particularly to tick- or insect-repellant formulations comprising dihydronepetalactone, a nepetalactam, a dihydronepetalactam and/or their respective derivatives and clay that provide sustained release to improve utilization of the active ingredient and require less-frequent renewal.

Abstract: Disclosed are acetals of nepetalic acid. They may be prepared by reaction of an alcohol with nepetalic acid, and are useful as repellents for insects and arthropods, in addition to other uses.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing dihydronepetalactone using mixtures comprising both trans-cis nepetalactone and cis-trans nepetalactone. A reaction mixture comprising trans-cis nepetalactone and cis-trans nepetalactone is first contacted with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst under conditions that optimise the preferential conversion of trans-cis nepetalactone to dihydronepetalactone. Cis-trans nepetalactone is subsequently converted to dihydronepetalactone by contact with hydrogen in the presence of at least one hydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating catmint oil. The treated catmint oil can be used for the production of hydrogenated catmint oil, which is enriched in the insect repellent, dihydronepetalactone, and from which formulated products may be prepared.

Abstract: A process for the hydrogenation of a mixture of caryophyllenes by contact with hydrogen in the presence of a supported catalyst. The resulting products are useful for the application to skin.

Abstract: Complexes of copper and/or zinc with hydrolyzed olefin/maleic anhydride copolymers were solubilized in ammoniacal solution providing preservative solutions that fully penetrate wood. With loss of the ammonia from the wood, the complexes were stably retained in the wood providing a long lasting preservative.
