Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for removing at least one first substance from a mixture that contains the at least one first substance and at least one second substance. Said method comprises the following steps: (A) contacting the mixture containing at least one first substance and at least one second substance with at least one surface-active substance, optionally in the presence of at least one dispersant, the surface-active substance binding to the at least one first substance, (B) optionally adding at least one dispersant to the mixture obtained in step (A) to obtain a dispersion, (C) treating the dispersion obtained in step (A) or (B) with at least one hydrophobic magnetic particle so that the at least one first substance to which the at least one surface-active substance is bound and the at least one magnetic particle are added thereto, (D) removing the addition product obtained in step (C) from the mixture by applying a magnetic field, (E) breaking down the removed addition product obtained in step (D) to obtain the at least one first substance and the at least one magnetic particle as separate entities.
Abstract:
The formation of unpleasant odours from bodily fluids in hygiene articles is reduced or prevented when a composition, which is used in the hygiene articles, contains at least one keto acid in addition to a super absorber.
Abstract:
A pigment is disclosed wherein the pigment includes a platy substrate or uniform platy substrate coated with an odd number of layers of alternating layers of high or low refractive index material, wherein each layer has a refractive index that differs from adjacent layers by at least 0.2; and the pigment has from about 40 to about 100% reflectance of light having a wavelength of 280 nm to 400 nm. Processes for making and using the pigments are also disclosed. These pigments can find application in paints, plastics, cosmetics, glass, printing inks, and glazes.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and to a method for extracting non-magnetic ores from a pulp (P) comprising non-magnetic ore particles and having a solid fraction of at least 30 % mass. The pulp (P) flows through (100) a reactor (1) in the direction of flow.
