Abstract: A device includes at least one ammonia storage cartridge comprising an outlet orifice for ammonia intended to be connected to an ammonia transport circuit towards an exhaust line. The device includes an obturator to obturate the outlet orifice, and which is capable of changing between an obturation configuration of the outlet orifice and a configuration for clearance the outlet orifice. The device includes a detector to detect at least one predefined situation, and a controller to control the obturator, and which is capable of controlling the transition of the obturators towards their obturation configuration when the detector detects the predefined situation.

Abstract: An ammonia storage cartridge includes an ammonia storage member having a storage material capable of absorbing or adsorbing ammonia. The storage member extends along a longitudinal axis. A heating element heats the storage member, and a hermetic tank houses the storage member. A tubular ammonia circulation element is arranged coaxially to the storage member, and includes a first surface at least partially delimiting, with an element chosen from among the heating element and the hermetic tank, a circulation duct for the fluid ammonia. A second surface is arranged at least partially in contact with the storage member, and at least one orifice passes radially through, allowing the circulation of fluid between the circulation duct and the storage member.

Abstract: A granular material for use in the treating of textile materials, comprising (i) a silicone material having at least one nitrogen containing substituent, (ii) an aluminosilicate carrier and (iii) a binder, preferably in conjunction with a surface active material. Also described is a process for preparing such granular materials, which comprises forming a water-in-oil emulsion of component (i) in conjunction with component (iii) by dispersing and agitating said components in water, followed by depositing said emulsion onto a free flowing powder form of component (ii), for example by spraying, and removing sufficient water from the product to obtain a free flowing granular material. The granules are useful in a process of treating textile materials in an aqueous medium, particularly where the textile material is denim. Preferably the granular material is added into the finishing steps of denim such as the desizing, the fading or the softening steps and helps with avoiding backstaining.

Abstract: The invention relates to a granulated personal care shampoo comprising a shampoo composition comprising at least one surfactant agglomerated with a water-soluble, water-dispersible or water-insoluble solid particulate carrier. Preferably, the shampoo composition additionally contains a conditioner preferably comprising an organopolysiloxane. The granulated shampoo of the invention can dissolve readily with formation of shampoo foam in hot or cold water, and can be perceived as soft in the dry state, free flowing state and providing a pleasant feel on the skin. The granulated shampoo can be packaged in various types of biodegradable packaging such as paper (environmentally more friendly than plastic sachets) to form a stable package which do not deteriorate on storage.
