Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising a substance of a particle size between 1 ?m and 100 ?m and a solubility in water between 0.0001 g/l and 10 g/l, at least 2 wt % of at least one cellulose based polymer, at least one anionic surfactant, at least one non-ionic surfactant, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is present in an amount of non-ionic surfactant to at least one cellulose based polymer in the range of between 10:1 and 1:10, wherein the ratio of the at least one cellulose based polymer and the at least one non-ionic surfactant together to the substance is between 2:1 to 1:2, and wherein the concentration of the substance of a particle size between 1 ?m and 100 ?m and a solubility in water between 0.0001 g/l and 10 g/l is in the range of 10.1 wt % to 15 wt %. The present invention also provides methods of manufacturing the compositions.

Abstract: What is described herein relates to a method for generating micro-particles comprising the steps of a) providing a homogenous supersaturated solution of a substance in a crystallization medium b) providing a seeding material characterized by a nano-particle size of a d50 between 10 nm and 999 nm comprising at least one stabilizer, wherein said seeding material is of the same substance as the substance of the homogenous supersaturated solution of step a) c) bringing the homogenous supersaturated solution in contact with the seeding material, optionally isolating micro-particles.

Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator for introducing sub-millimeter sized particles into a carrier material. The carrier material has a melting point which lies above 0° C., preferably above room temperature. The electrostatic precipitator comprises a casing having an inlet for inserting a gas flow into the casing and having an outlet for guiding a gas flow out of the casing. A channel for passing the gas flow from the inlet to the outlet is provided. A discharge electrode is provided on a first side of the channel. A collecting electrode is provided at a second side of at least a part of the channel. The electrostatic precipitator applies an electric field between the discharge electrode and the collecting electrode. A receiving volume is provided with a molten material as carrier material.
