Another object of the invention is the ice cream cone obtained from said process.

Abstract: A water purifier for home use, irrigation systems used for crop cultivation or the pharmaceutical industry includes a water inlet for a water to be purified and a water outlet for a purified water. A water treatment chamber is fluidly connected to the water inlet and the water outlet. The water treatment chamber is confined by a chamber wall. The water purifier includes a high-voltage plasma unit for generating a cold plasma within the water treatment chamber. The plasma unit has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is arranged inside the water treatment chamber such that, during use of the water purifier, it is contacted by the water. The second electrode is disposed spaced apart from the first electrode and electrically insulated therefrom by a dielectric. The water purifier further relates to a water purification system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a kayak comprising a light and stylish hull with a propeller mounted on the underside thereof, said propeller being actuatable by means of pedals mounted in front of and above a seat, the pedals and propeller being connected by means of a transmission that passes through the inside of the hull and below the surface thereof. Two rudders are arranged at the rear.

Abstract: A heat exchanger device (13) comprising a tubular body (2) having an inlet opening (3) and an outlet opening (4) and defining within itself a first pathway (5) for a first liquid in a first prevalent direction of advance (6) from the inlet opening (3) to the outlet opening (4); a first connecting terminal (7) having at least a first inlet (8) for the first liquid and being sealedly couplable to the inlet opening (3) of the tubular body (2) and further couplable, at the first inlet (8) for the first liquid, to a first outlet pipe (9) for the first liquid; a second connecting terminal (10) having at least a first outlet (11) for the first liquid and being sealedly couplable to the outlet of the tubular body (2) and further couplable, at the first outlet (11) for the first liquid, to a second outlet pipe (12) for the first liquid; and an exchanger element (13) having an inlet (14) and an outlet (15) for a second liquid and defining within itself a second pathway (16) for the second liquid, the exchanger element

Abstract: Modular connector for electrical connections, provided with an external anchoring system which facilitates the grouping and fixing of several connectors through male and female couplings, both laterally and transversally. For first-sight recognition, the wraparound insulating carcasses (4) are standard color-keyed to identify the conductors. For the recognition of each circuit it is provided with an upper cover (6) which can be signaled by the user. The conductor part has a set of one or more metallic parts always of the same pole (1), and the set is built into a wraparound insulating carcass (5), having the same color as the conductor cable for this element.

Abstract: The invention provides a sweetener composition comprising a combination of cellulose and a sweetener carbohydrate formed from a combination of at least two carbohydrates selected from the group consisting of sucrose, glucose and fructose, and a method for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: Recovery of carboxylic acid from an amine-based, water-immiscible organic extractant solution thereof that contains an enhancer, by extraction of the acid into an aqueous phase. A low molecular, at least partly water-miscible organic compound being a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 alkanol, an acetate of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkanol and acetone is used as enhancer. In operation, the enhancer is recovered and recycled. The process is applicable, among others, to the recovery of carboxylic acid from a fermentation broth.

Abstract: Recovery of carboxylic acid from an amine-based, water-immiscible organic extractant solution thereof that contains an extraction enhancer, by extraction of acid into an aqueous phase. In a preliminary step the enhancer is removed from the extractant solution by extraction with an aqueous solution containing at least 50 % by weight of a salt of the carboxylic acid present in the extractrant. The process is applicable to the recovery of carboxylic acid from a fermentation broth.

Abstract: In the production of citric acid aqueous mother liquor originating from a lime/sulfuric acid process is subjected to a multi-stage counter-current extraction with an amine based organic extractant. A solution of a further amount of citric acid derived from direct extraction of a citric acid fermentation broth is judicously injected into the organic phase stream in the counter-current extraction and a combined extract is withdrawn from the operation. This extract can be subjected to any known treatment for the recovery of citric acid values.

Abstract: The known liming sulfuric acid process for the recovery of crystalline citric acid from a fermentation broth is modified by subjecting the mother liquor from the crystallization to extraction with a water-immiscible organic extraction that contains an amine. The resulting extract is neutralized with a recycled brine with alkali citrate and alkali citrate is crystallized from the concentrated brine obtained this way.
