Abstract: The artificial fireplace includes an enclosure delimited by a lower wall, an upper wall and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall includes an opening, a bed of fake embers being disposed inside the enclosure on a base defined by the lower wall. The enclosure is also provided with a projector for an image, in particular animated flames, towards a display screen disposed in the enclosure in a line of sight extending through the opening. The display screen is defined by a transparent glass plate extending between the bed of fake embers and the projector, while forming, in relation to the incident ray emanating from the projector, an angle ranging between 50° and 56°. The projector is defined for broadcasting images, in particular animated flames, through a linear polarized light. The invention also relates to a fireplace unit or stove comprising an artificial fireplace.

Abstract: The fireplace includes a hearth suspended on a support. The hearth is defined laterally by a peripheral wall that is equipped with at least one combustion air inlet. There is a discharge pipe for discharging the combustion gases, that includes a bottom portion secured to a top part of the hearth, and a top portion opposite the bottom portion. The fireplace also includes at least one combustible fluid burner that is arranged in the hearth opposite at least one air inlet and a combustible fluid supply column that extends between a first end connected to a combustible fluid source and a second end connected to at least one burner. The supply column passed down through the discharge pipe from its top portion to its bottom portion and opens in the hearth in order to convey the combustible fluid from the combustible fluid source to at least one burner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a gel formulation, wherein said gel formulation comprises at least: an oil of renewable origin, and a gel-forming agent which forms a gel at temperatures below 50° C. with the oil of renewable origin. The present invention also relates to a granular material coated with said gel formulation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising at least from 1% by weight to 30% by weight, limits included, of a surfactant, preferably a nitrogen-containing surfactant, and from 5% by weight to 99% by weight, limits included, of a cyclic alcohol, comprising 12 to 100 carbon atoms, limits included, and of derivatives of this. The present invention also relates to the granular material coated with said composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition, which is simultaneously anticlumping and water-repellent, for salts, simple and complex fertilizers. This composition contains:on the one hand, an anticlumping product chosen from fatty amines, amine salts of phosphoric esters, amine salts of alkylarylsulphonic acids and mixtures thereof, andon the other hand, an anticlumping substance capable of imparting water-repellent properties and consisting of the product of the reaction of an alcohol or an amine with a carboxylic acid or anhydride bearing a hydrocarbon group having from 20 to 500 carbon atoms,as well as a formulation agent.

Abstract: Anticlumping composition intended for fertilizers comprising an aqueous solution of at least one surfactive agent and at least one high molecular weight polymer soluble in the said aqueous solution, wherein the surfactive agent is consisting of a phosphoric ester acid salt.

Abstract: Process for inhibiting the corrosive characteristics of a nitrogenous fertilizing solution comprising incorporating in said nitrogenous fertilizing solution at the moment of its constitution, about 50 to about 150 ppm of at least one of the linear esters of acid phosphates having the formulae; ##STR1## wherein R1 and R2 which are identical or different from one another, are selected from the group consisting of the n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl and n-decyl radicals.

Abstract: Anti-clumping product for salts, simple and complex fertilizers as well as for nitrogenous derivatives, especially on the basis of ammonium nitrate, which might in particular be used in connection with explosives, consisting of a metallic salt of an acid phosphate ester having the general formulas I and II: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 designates an alkylene group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms,R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 designate each an alkyl group having from 2 to 24 carbon atoms, or an alkylaryl group whose alkyl part has from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, andn.sub.1, n.sub.2 and n.sub.3 designate an integer from 0 to 15,the cation which is part of the constitution of the above-said metallic salt being a divalent or trivalent cation, especially one of those of the group comprising magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zinc and manganese, it being also possible to select the said cation from the group consisting of sodium and lithium.
