  • Patent number: 8133460
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a reducing agent composition, which is used in the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides and which contains from 20 to 40% by weight of urea, from 20 to 40% by weight of ammonium formate, and water. The composition is prepared by adding urea to the aqueous solution of ammonium formate that is prepared in situ, and by preparing the aqueous solution of ammonium formate using, as starting materials, a source of ammonium, a source of formate, and water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2012
    Assignee: Kemira Oyj
    Inventors: Jouko Arvola, Timo Härmä, Eero Hätälä, Lauri Määttä, Timo Nissinen, Pentti Pekonen
  • Patent number: 7867357
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer composition for peroxide bleaching of a cellulosic fiber material, said composition being in the form of a stable aqueous polymer solution obtained by bringing in an aqueous medium a first polymer (A) comprising a partly or totally acidic homopolymer of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or maleic acid, or a copolymer of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid with an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, into contact with a second polymer (B) comprising a polylactone of a poly-alfa-hydroxyacrylic acid in solid form or as a moist powder or as a slurry, said polymer solution having a pH of at most 5. The invention also relates to peroxide bleaching processes.
