Although the previously known processes for the preparation of styrene polymers by suspension polymerisation allow a certain amount of control of the particle size, the distribution curve is, however, always relatively broad, i.e. the proportion of oversize and/or undersize particles is still too high. It is proposed to add from 50 to 500 ppm, based on the aqueous phase, of carbonates or bica...

Water-in-oil emulsions of water-soluble polymers, i.e. polyacrylamides, which are subject to freeze-thaw degradation are stabilized against repeated freeze-thaw cycles by incorporating specific ethoxylated alkylphenol surfactants containing low levels of ethoxylation. Moreover, the resultant emulsions exhibit superior resistance to sheet gel formation under ambient storage conditions.

Process related to a storage tank, insulated against cold, for liquefied gases, in which the liquefied gas storage temperature lies below ambient temperature and in which, by controlled addition of lower boiling gases to reduce the dew point temperature, undesirable condensing of the stored liquefied gas, known as product gas, is avoided with falling ambient temperature, and a storage tank, provid...
