Abstract: A liquid laundry detergent composition comprising; an anionic surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant comprises linear alkylbenzene sulphonate; an ethoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactant; greater than 5.5% by weight of the composition of water; wherein the weight ratio of total anionic surfactant:non-ionic surfactant is between 5:1 and 23:1; and wherein the weight ratio of linear alkylbenzene sulphonate:non-ionic surfactant is between 5:1 and 10:1; and wherein the weight ratio of total surfactant to water is between 3:1 to 20:1.

Abstract: A water-soluble film that is resistant to contact with small amounts of water and methods of making the same from water-soluble film-forming compositions, such as polyvinyl alcohols having a salt applied to a surface of the film and a method of making articles made therefrom.

Abstract: An inorganic pearlescent agent slurry for use in liquid treatment compositions. The slurry comprises: inorganic pearlescent agent; organic solvent, selected from the group consisting of glycerol, sorbitol and mixtures thereof; and rheology modifier. The inorganic pearlescent agent may be selected from the group consisting of mica, bismuth oxychloride, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Single or multi-screw indirect-heating screw conveyor desorbers having a heating gas guide enclosed by the screw shaft wall (single-wall screw shafts) or located between a screw shaft wall and an internal chamber wall (double-walled screw shafts). Predetermined amounts of cooling and diluting fluid may be added to a heating gas stream to control the maximum temperature thereof. Screw shaft support bearings and rotary drive components may be cooled, and conveyor wall and/or screw shaft surfaces (e.g.. screw flights and interflight surfaces) may be automatically cleaned during screw shaft rotation by hardened bits and/or breaker devices. Cleaning operations may also involve the interaction of two counter-rotating conveyor screw shafts having mutually interleaved and opposite-handed external flights.

Abstract: A machine for charging a furnace with scrap to be incinerated comprising a hopper in which bulk scrap to be incinerated is fed and whose bottom opens into the interior of a rectilinear and horizontal tubular body connected at one extremity to the inlet of a furnace. Mounted at the other opposite extremity of the tubular body is a push member actuated by a first jack. The push member has a section corresponding to that of the interior passage in the tubular body. A first wall of the hopper is constituted by a trap door capable of being raised to uncover a crushing head articulated by a second jack of high power so that in lowered position it compresses the scrap against the bottom of the tubular body. A second wall of the hopper is disposed opposite the first wall and is pivotably connected to the base of the hopper for undergoing pivotal movement to a lowered position closing the top of the tubular body.
