Abstract: The invention concerns a method for volume division of bread-making, bakery, and pastry dough and the like, contained in a hopper. The method includes allowing the dough to flow by gravity into a chamber capable of measuring an amount of dough to be divided and extending beneath an opening located at the base of the hopper. The chamber is at least partly closed. The volume division of the dough into dough pieces of the amount of dough contained in the chamber is started. The divided dough pieces from the chamber are removed to be set on a discharge carrier. The invention also concerns a device for implementing the method.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of a mesoporous, crystalline, acidic molecular sieve comprising the successive steps of (a) preparing an aqueous mixture comprising a silicon source, a fluorine source, and an organic template at a temperature in the range of at most 90° C. such that crystallization starts; (b) adjusting the pH of the solution to such value in the range of from about 5.0 to about 12.5 that a precipitate is formed; (c) recovering the precipitate; and (d) calcining the precipitate to obtain the mesoporous, crystalline, acidic molecular sieve, wherein an aluminum source is added in one or more of steps (a) and (b) and/or between steps (c) and (d) in such amount that after addition of all aluminum source the Si/Al atomic ratio is at least about 3.
