The present invention relates to a method for purifying contaminated industrial sewage water solutions or other aqueous solutions having a similar contaminant profile, normally containing ions of several metals and other elements such as As, Bi, Sb, P and Se, by precipitation in two stages and by returning the precipitate separated from the second precipitation stage to the first precipitation sta...

A method and an apparatus for handling at a retail establishment newspapers, magazines, etc., that are retailed on a commission basis but remained unsold, comprising the use of a newspaper defacing or destroying device (1, 6) placed in the vicinity of the retail establishment. The unsold newspapers are fed through the newspaper defacing device, so as to be disfigured or destroyed. When defacing of...

The invention provides a process for preparing a bitumen composition comprising blowing a mixture with an oxygen-containing gas which mixture comprises a bitumen having a penetration of at least 300 dmm (as measured by ASTM D 5 at 25 DEG C) and a thermoplastic rubber which is present in an amount of less than 1 wt.%, based on total mixture; bitumen compositions obtainable by such process; and the...

A membrane of microporous, for example stretched, PTFE is filled with particles having a size in the nanometer range. By filling with, for example, TiO2, the abrasion resistance of the membrane can be increased. Low particle size means that the original structure of the PTFE membrane with its knots and fibrils is retained, as is, consequently, the original desired properties of this material. In a...

An improved method for producing hydrophobic polyolefin-containing staple fiber for processing, with reduced waste and improved crimp by sequential treatment with two finish compositions comprising at least one neutralized phosphoric acid ester and at least one polysiloxane of defined classes and amounts.

A foam is prepared using a polymer containing vinyl aromatic compound and unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and/or imide monomers, and water as a blowing agent. A method for preparing a polymer foam from a polymer mixture and water as a blowing agent, is carried out at high pressure, forming a foam with a fine, uniform cellular structure. The polymer mixture (P) comprises the following comp...

Thermoplastic products, free from reinforcing additives but having high creep strain resistance, are produced by vacuum forming and/or blow moulding a thermoplastic such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polybutene. A number of product parts are manufactured from preferably tube or sheet shaped work pieces which are heated to soften the thermoplastic and then shaped using a mould under the influe...

The laminate includes a first and a second layer of solid thermoplastic material (A) and an intermediate layer of expanded thermoplastic material (B) with an average density of 50-800 kg/m3. The thermoplastic materials (A) and (B) are...

The ground material and binder are mixed with water in a mixer, with the amount of water determined by the gravimetric quantity of material and binder. The first amount of water is less than normally required, determined empirically from various ratios of material and binder. The resulting mix is measured and a second, controlled amount of water is added and mixed. The mixture is passed to a react...
