  • Publication number: 20230286841
    Abstract: Use of an alkyltrichlorosilane of the following formula I: R-SiCl3, wherein: R represents an alkyl group, Si represents a silicon atom and Cl represents a chlorine atom, and/or of a silsesquioxane of the following formula II: [RSiO3/2]n, wherein: R represents an alkyl group, Si represents a silicon atom, O represents an oxygen atom and n represents an integer, for the removal of microplastic particles from water and/or for the treatment of water. Further, a method for the removal of microplastic particles from water and/or for the purification of water is provided, as well as an inclusion and/or intercalation compound, a kit for the removal of microplastic particles from water and/or for the purification of water as well as a water treatment system.

  • Patent number: 8618228
    Abstract: Process for the preparation of an ethylene copolymer composition having a polydispersity index Mw/Mn of from 3 to 100, comprising a) feeding ethylene to at least one polymerization reactor; b) performing in the at least one polymerization reactor an oligomerization of ethylene in the presence of an oligomerization catalyst component (C) to produce comonomer; c) performing simultaneously in the at least one polymerization reactor polymerization reactions in the presence of catalyst components (A) and (B) producing, respectively, a first and a second polyethylene fraction, wherein the weight average molecular weight Mw of the first polyethylene fraction produced by catalyst component (A) is less than the Mw of the second polyethylene fraction produced by catalyst component (B) and the comonomer incorporation ability of catalyst component (B) is higher than the comonomer incorporation ability of catalyst component (A); and d) withdrawing the ethylene copolymer composition from the polymerization reactor.
