Abstract: Dicarboxylic diesters are disclosed having the formula (I): wherein n is 3, and X is a C2 alkylene or a C2 alkenylene group. Such dicarboxylic diesters are useful for inhibiting the methane production in ruminants.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous production of a particulate adsorption product, the apparatus comprising: a mixing drum having an elongated cavity for receiving a particulate adsorbent material, an adsorbent inlet and a product outlet, wherein the mixing drum is arranged such that the cavity is inclined in flow direction of the particulate material, and wherein the cavity comprises an initial transport zone adjacent to the inlet and a mixing zone following the initial transport zone; a rotating member extending through the cavity in a longitudinal direction, wherein the rotating member comprises a helical conveying blade at longitudinal positions corresponding to the initial transport zone and mixing instruments at longitudinal positions corresponding to the mixing zone; and one or more injection nozzles for injecting a liquid adsorbate to the mixing zone. The invention further relates to a process for the continuous production of a particulate adsorption product using such apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel dicarboxylic diesters as well as the use thereof as for inhibiting the methane production in ruminants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the continuous production of an adsorption product of a nitrooxy-functional organic compound adsorbed on the surface of a particulate adsorbent material, the process comprising the steps of: continuously feeding particulate adsorbent material into an elongated cavity; continuously conveying the material within the cavity in a downstream direction; continuously spraying a liquid adsorbate onto the particulate adsorbent material, wherein the liquid adsorbate comprises the nitrooxy-functional organic compound; continuously agitating the mixture thus obtained to form the adsorption product; and continuously removing the adsorption product from the cavity. The invention further relates to an adsorption product obtained by such process and the use of such adsorption product in ruminant nutrition.
