Abstract: Efficient deaeration of aqueous suspensions such as those obtained during textile treatment or pulp and paper production is achieved by use of a combination of a polyoxypropylene polyether polymer or copolymer and branched polyether-polysiloxane copolymers.

Abstract: The invention describes a novel method for deaerating liquids by adding 0.0001 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 0.0002-1.0% by weight, especially preferred 0.001-0.2% by weight of branched polyether-polysiloxane copolymers to said liquids. Only those branched polyether-polysiloxane copolymers are used in which the polyether radicals are SiC-bonded via hydrocarbon radicals to linear siloxane chains and said siloxane chains are connected to each other via SiC-bonded organic radicals, preferably divalent to decavalent, preferably divalent to tetravalent, hydrocarbon radicals, which may contain one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen and nitrogen atoms.

Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsions which contain (i) 100 parts by weight of a polydimethylsiloxane (P) having aminoalkyl groups and having an amine number of at least 0.1 meq/g of polydimethylsiloxane (P), composed of units of the general formula I R1aR2bSiO(4?a?b/2),??(I) ?in which R2 are aminoalkyl radials of the formula II —R3—NR4R5,,??(II) (ii) protonating agent, (iii) water and (iv) not more than 5 parts by weight of emulsifier, are stable and provide for improved water repellency of porous and nonporous, absorptive and non-absorptive substrates treated therewith.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for drying out rock containing immobile formation water in the intake radius of natural gas wells and gas storage wells which deliver less than 50 l of water per 1000 m.sup.3 (S.T.P.) of natural gas produced, in which a dispersion comprising the componentsA) a water-repellent active compound,B) hydrophilic water-miscible dispersion medium, with or withoutC) a dispersant renders the water-containing rock hydrophobic.
