Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the stability in storage of bleach activators of the quaternized amino alkyl nitrile type. To this end, the invention provides that a particle containing these bleach activators is enclosed in the most complete possible manner by an enclosing material.

Abstract: The invention set out to improve the oxidizing and bleaching effect of inorganic peroxygen compounds in dishwashing, more particularly machine dishwashing, in terms of their storage stability. This was essentially achieved by using particulate compounds corresponding to formula R1R2R3N+CH2CN X−, in which R1, R2, and R3 independently of one another represent an alkyl, alkenyl or aryl group containing 1 to 18 carbon atoms, in addition to which the groups R2 and R3 may even be part of a heterocycle including the N atom and optionally other hetero atoms, and X is a charge-equalizing anion. Dishwashing detergents, more particularly machine dishwashing detergents, contain about 1% by weight to 10% by weight of this bleach-boosting agent.

Abstract: The invention involves the separation of actinides and lanthanides by membrane transport by means of a calixarene. To this end, a first aqueous solution containing at least one metal from the group of actinides and lanthanides to be separated is placed in the compartment 3 and a second aqueous re-extraction solution such as a 10−2 mol/L solution of HNO3 is placed in the compartment 5. The membrane 6 is a microporous membrane of which the pores are filled with a liquid organic phase (calixarene and diluent) chosen in order to favour membrane transport of the metal(s) to be separated from compartment 3 to compartment 5.
