Abstract: The subject of the invention is a cosmetic composition for composing sticks for the lips or the skin comprising an anhydrous base in which is dispersed an emulsion of water-in-silicone type, the said emulsion consisting of an aqueous phase dispersed in a lipophilic phase comprising one or more silicones.

Abstract: A process for controlling the continuous gas-phase polymerization of one or more alpha-olefins in a fluidized and/or mechanically stirred bed reactor using a high activity catalyst based on a transition metal of groups IV, V or VI of the Periodic Table comprises introducing into the reactor, continuously and simultaneously, an activity retarder and an activator, in very small amounts, in a molar ratio and at flow rates which are varied with time in order to maintain substantially constant either the polymerization rate or the transition metal content of the polymer produced.

Abstract: The method of the invention concerns continuous graphitization of long pre-cooked carbon-containing products.It comprises displacing the carbon-containing products in a column, along a horizontal axis of passage, inside a furnace where the packing is a fragmented carbon-containing material which is not displaced within the furnace. The column is put under stress by rams and is heated by the Joule effect.The method can be applied particularly to the production of graphite electrodes for arc furnaces in steel works.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric furnace for heating by passing a current through the charge, and more particularly, a continuous furnace in which the charge is a carbonaceous material.The furnace according to the invention is provided with a device for allowing non-reactive gas to be circulated in the opposite direction to the charge.The furnace according to the invention is used, in particular, for calcining anthracite.
