  • Patent number: 8063265
    Abstract: A hydrogel having a floatability where from 40% to 90% of a solution and/or suspension to be thickened are thickened starting from the surface of the liquid and the rest of the solution and/or suspension to be thickened is thickened starting from the bottom of the container, a process for preparing the hydrogel and also its use for absorbing blood and/or body fluids, especially in hygiene articles, or for thickening aqueous solutions and/or suspensions, especially for thickening medical wastes.

  • Patent number: 7482383
    Abstract: The invention provides a continuous process for obtaining triterpenes from plants and/or their components. The process can include continuously washing at least one of plant and plant parts in counter-current at 20° C. to 70° C. with a solvent in which the triterpenes are not soluble or only slightly soluble and continuously extracting triterpenes from the washed plant part or parts with a solvent under an increased pressure and an elevated temperature relative to the washing pressure and temperature in counter-current to form a triterpene containing solution where the plant parts are conveyed in counter-current to the solvent flow, on the basis of their different density in a pressure-tight and heatable tube and are discharged at an end of the tube opposite to the solvent discharge.

  • Patent number: 7014699
    Abstract: The invention relates to addition compounds of formula (1): in which: n is a number from 1 to 10; R1 and R2 are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R3 and R4 are identical or different and are each a hydrogen atom or alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and the bridge member (R3+R4) is in each case positioned ortho or meta in relation to the phenolic oxygen atom; Z represents a group —CH2—CH2—, —CH2—CH(CH3)—, —CH(CH3)—CH2— or a combination thereof; s is number from 1 to 200; B represents hydrogen, —CO—CH?CH—COOM, —COCH(SO3M)CH2COOM, —CO—CH2—CH(SO3M)—COOM, —SO3M, —SO2M and/or —PO3MM, whereby M is preferably a cation selected from the group Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+, HO—CH2—CH2—NH3+, (HO—CH2—CH2—)2NH2+ or (HO—CH2—CH2—)3NH+; and Y is a radical of an amine. The inventive addition compounds are used as dispersing agents of solids, for example, pigments, particularly in aqueous media.

  • Publication number: 20020106391
    Abstract: Aqueous dispersions of 2-(4-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole (TBZ), alone or in combination with 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (DBDCB), and processes for making the same, are disclosed. These processes generally comprise mixing a xanthan gum with water, adding TBZ and mixing until uniform. DBDCB dispersions are prepared by mixing xanthan gum with water, adding DBDCB, maintaining the mixture at a temperature below about 40° C., grinding the mixture and mixing until uniform. The TBZ and DBDCB dispersions are then blended to prepare a dispersion containing both active ingredients. A method for inhibiting microbial growth utilizing these dispersions is also claimed.
