Abstract: What is shown is a separator for an electrochemical element, wherein at least 70% and at most 95% of the mass of the separator is formed by fibrillated fibers of regenerated cellulose and at least 3% and at most 30 % of the mass of the separator is formed by cellulose having a high fines content, wherein at least 10%, based on number, of the fibrillated fibers of regenerated cellulose having a length of at least 1 mm have a branched structure, and wherein, in the cellulose having a high fines content, the proportion of fibers having a length of less than 0.2 mm is at least 70% based on the sum of the length of the fibers in the cellulose having a high fines content.

Abstract: Disclosed herewith is a filter paper for manufacturing filters for smoking articles, in particular filter cigarettes, with the following properties the filter paper comprises fibers comprising pulp fibers, at least 80% by weight, preferably at least 90% by weight, particularly preferably at least 95% by weight and highly particularly preferably 100% by weight of the filter paper is formed by long-fiber pulp fibers, of the fibers, a proportion with respect to the number of the fibers of between 2% and 10%, preferably between 3% and 9% and particularly preferably between 4% and 8% has a length of less than 0.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation (1) and a method allowing the near total recovery and space-saving storage of carbon in the form of liquid carbon dioxide (19), from a substance (9) of the group consisting of hydrocarbons/ethers/alcohols, without the use of gas compression. To achieve this, a superheated gas (12) at a pressure of over 5.18 bar is generated from the substance (9) of the group consisting of hydrocarbons/ethers/alcohols and water (10), and this gas is delivered, by means of steam reforming and hydrogen liberation, into a retentate mass flow (15) containing carbon dioxide. Liquid carbon dioxide (19) is obtained therefrom by means of condensation, and is stored in a storage tank (7) while the liberated hydrogen is oxidised to provide mechanical and/or electrical as well as thermal energy. The use of membranes with low hydrogen/carbon dioxide permeation selectivity is permitted by forming a permeate mass flow circuit that is closed in respect of carbon dioxide.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aerosol-generating article comprising an aerosol-generating material, which is heated during intended use to release an aerosol, but is not burnt, and a wrapping material. Therein, the wrapping material has a thickness of at least 50 ?m and at most 350 ?m, a basis weight of at least 50 g/m2 and at most 200 g/m2, a specific density of at least 500 kg/m3 and at most 1300 kg/m3, and a bending stiffness of at least 0.15 Nmm and at most 1.50 Nmm. The wrapping material further comprises at least two layers, wherein the layers are connected to each other and wherein one layer is a paper layer, which has a thickness of at least 40 ?m and at most 70 ?m, a basis weight of at least 50 g/m2 and at most 80 g/m2, and a density of at least 700 kg/m3 and at most 1300 kg/m3, and a specific density that is higher than the specific density of any of the other layers of the wrapping material.

Abstract: In an arrangement according to this disclosure, a spring element (3, 7) is arranged between a mounting core member (2) and a support (6) and is connected to a damper mass (9, 12). The damper mass has a container (10) which is filled with pressure liquid and/or gas and closed by a diaphragm (13). The spring rate of the diaphragm can be varied as desired, particularly in dependence on the speed of rotation of the machine or engine. For varying the spring rate of the diaphragm, a pressure plate (15) is associated with the diaphragm, and is displaceable relative to the diaphragm by way of an adjusting arrangement (16, 17) dependent on the speed of rotation of the machine or engine, and the relative configurations of the pressure plate and the facing diaphragm are such that this displacement reduces or increases the free area of the diaphragm, and thus varies its spring rate.
