Abstract: The present invention provides calcium phosphate platelets with a length between 250 nm and 800 nm and methods for producing the calcium phosphate platelets. The platelets may be used to provide dispersions or colloidal dispersions obtained by suspending the platelets in the presence of a dispersing agent. The platelets may be used in reinforcing fillers, polishing agents, building materials, additives for oral formulations, in dentrifices or in encapsulating agents.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a crumb rubber modified asphalt comprising the steps of: a) heating a pre-selected quantity of asphalt to a temperature of between about 325° F. to 550° F.; b) adding crumb rubber and a mineral acid to the heated asphalt with stirring; and c) blowing air through the asphalt, crumb rubber and mineral acid mixture.
Abstract: Asphalt emulsion compositions for use in priming a granular surface such as a road bed are provided. The asphalt emulsion comprises asphalt, an amphoteric emulsifier, and water. The asphalt emulsion priming composition may be used on road beds to prepare the road bed for paving. Application of the asphalt emulsion priming composition to a granular surface, such as a road bed, can provide several advantages, including reducing or eliminating dust generated by traffic on the granular surface.

Abstract: An environmentally friendly method of loading nicotine onto cation exchange resins under anhydrous conditions is described. The method eliminates many of the processing problems that are associated with loading in aqueous media.
Abstract: A process for recovering a lipophilic oligosaccharide antibiotic from an aqueous fermentation broth containing the lipophilic oligosaccharide antibiotic admixed with impurities, by-products and/or suspended solids, comprising:
a) combining said fermentation broth with an adsorbent;
b) adjusting the pH of the broth to alkaline in order to solubilize the antibiotic in the broth;
c) allowing sufficient time for the solubilized antibiotic in the alkaline broth to be adsorbed by the adsorbent;
d) adjusting the pH of the broth to about neutral in order to stabilize the antibiotic adsorbed on the adsorbent; and
e) separating the adsorbent to which the antibiotic is adsorbed from the broth.
A medium for storing an oligosaccaride antibiotic comprising an adsorbent having a lipophilic oligosaccaride antibiotic adsorbed thereon is also disclosed.

Abstract: Matrix-dyed textiles of cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, silk, wool, flax, nylon, acrylic, polyethylene terephthalate, cotton, and rayon are stripped of their dyes in a dye stripping system comprising a reducing agent in an aqueous bath produced by the reaction of a bisulfite with about 0.35% or less of a borohydride by weight of the textile. The borohydride may be added to an aqueous bath already containing the bisulfite and the textile or the borohydride and bisulfite may be mixed in an add tank and the mixture added to the aqueous bath. Chelating agents, sequestering agents, fire retardants, and odor scavengers are not needed. Reclaimed textiles having superior receptivity of a new dye are provided.
