Abstract: A composition that includes Sea Buckthorn Oil may be used as a cosmetic product, a pharmaceutical or nutraceutical product or a food product. The composition maintains its distinctive color, due to the use of Sea Buckthorn Oil, over time, even when exposed to oxygen and/or U.V. light. The color of Sea Buckthorn Oil is maintained by adding to the composition Sea Buckthorn Oil in an amount from 0.01 to 90% by weight and an antioxidant and/or a U.V. filter in an amount from 0.001 to 20% by weight.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved anode formulation and an improved method of manufacture. More specifically, the invention provides a tri-layer anode having an improved service life when used, for example, for steel strip electrogalvinizing. In one embodiment of the invention, the anode is comprised of a titanium substrate which is roughened and heat treated and subsequently coated with a first coating of iridium oxide/tantalum oxide. After the anode is heat treated, it is next coated, preferably by an electrodeposition process with a second coating of platinum. Finally, the anode is coated with a third coating of iridium oxide/tantalum oxide and subsequently heat treated.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for generating an aqueous solution containing at least one active bromine compound comprising the steps of: electrolyzing an aqueous solution containing bromide ions until bromate ions are formed in said aqueous solution; and introducing to the aqueous solution containing bromate ions an acid to generate an aqueous solution containing at least one active bromine compound. The present invention also provides an apparatus for generating an aqueous solution containing at least one active bromine compound. The aqueous solution containing the active bromine compound(s) generated using the process and apparatus of the present invention may be used for water treatment and the recovery of precious metals such as gold.
