  • Publication number: 20160318078
    Abstract: Process for treating water-containing ore beneficiation residues with superabsorbents in order to increase the complex shear modulus G* by at least 10% compared to the untreated ore beneficiation residue, where the complex modulus G* is determined by the method defined herein, and the superabsorbent contains, in copolymerized form, a) at least 50 mol % based on the superabsorbent of one or more monoethylenically unsaturated monomers containing acid groups, where the degree of neutralization of the monoethylenically unsaturated monomers containing acid groups is preferably from 15 to 85 mol %, and b) preferably from 0.015 to 0.1 mol % based on the total amount of monomers of at least one crosslinker and c) optionally one or more ethylenically and/or allylically unsaturated monomers which are different from the monomers a) and can be copolymerized therewith, where the superabsorbent is optionally surface-treated, preferably using anticaking agents and/or plasticizers, and also is preferably surface-crosslinked.

  • Patent number: 9380916
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser system with a housing, into which a reservoir cartridge is inserted, which is formed by a reservoir container and a distribution device. Housing comprises an actuation device which acts on distribution device in such a way that a pressure on the actuation device delivers a portion of the medium on the distribution device. The known dispenser systems have the drawback that an individual dispenser is required depending on the medium. According to the invention, in order to create an identical part dispenser system, a connection element compensating for the different geometries of distribution device is connected to distribution device. Moreover, actuation device comprises at different levels pressure-exerting faces, which cooperate with pressure-receiving faces of distribution device, wherein different faces engage with one another depending on employed reservoir cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20130237468
    Abstract: The invention relates to a skin cleansing agent, particularly for the removal of printing colors and/or inks, comprising the components a) 1 to 70 wt.-% of at least one ethoxylated amine and/or ethoxylated diamine, b) 30 to 70 wt.-% of at least one polyethylene glycol of general formula H—O—(CH2CH2—O)nH, wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 150, c) 1 to 30 wt.-% of at least one fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, d) 0.1 to 5 wt.-% of at least one complexing agent, e) 0 to 30 wt.-% of at least one reducing or oxidizing agent, f) 0 to 25 wt.-% of one or more abrasives, g) 0 to 10 wt.-% of at least one polyhydric alcohol, h) 0 to 3 wt.-% water, i) optionally one or more viscosity-building agents, j) optionally further cosmetic adjuvants, additives and/or active substances, the sum of components a) through j) making 100 wt.-%, relative to the composition of the cleansing agent.
