Abstract:
The invention refers to a method for determining habitat descriptor values providing a target biodegradability for a polymer. A target biodegradability is provided indicative of a biodegradation characteristic of a polymer. A digital representation of a polymer indicative of physicochemical characteristics of the polymer is provided. A biodegradation habitat is provided indicative of habitat descriptors influencing a biodegradation of a polymer. A biodegradation model is provided based on the provided biodegradation habitat that is adapted to determine habitat descriptor values that allow for a biodegradation of the polymer meeting the target biodegradability in the biodegradation habitat. The habitat descriptor values are determined for the polymer based on the selected biodegradation model, the target biodegradability and the polymer descriptors.
Abstract:
A device and a process for making aqueous treatment fluids for recovering crude oil from subterranean, oil-bearing formations, comprising water-soluble polymers, preferably polyacrylamides, by firstly diluting an aqueous polymer concentrate comprising 3.5 to 10 wt. % of water-soluble polymer with an aqueous base fluid to a concentration of 0.01 to 2 wt. % of the water-soluble polymer. And secondly, dosing the diluted aqueous polymer concentrate into a blender or a polymer injection unit to obtain an aqueous treatment fluid. The aqueous treatment fluids obtained may be used as fracturing fluids or as enhance oil recovery fluids, among others. Furthermore, a new aqueous polyacrylamide concentrate—and its preparation process—, which may be used as starting material for making aqueous treatment fluids. The new aqueous polyacrylamide concentrate comprises at least water, polyacrylamide, a salt and a polyol or a surfactant.
Abstract:
Described herein is a polyester-polyurethane-poly(meth)acrylic hybrid dispersion obtainable by esterifying at least one polyurethane containing carboxyl groups, the at least one polyurethane having an acid number of more than 200 mg KOH/g to 400 mg KOH/g and at least one or more terminal carboxyl groups; with at least one polyester containing hydroxyl groups, the polyester having a hydroxyl number of 50 mg KOH/g to 300 mg KOH/g, to obtain a polyester-polyurethane; followed by polymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers at least including (meth)acrylic monomers by radical polymerization in the presence of the polyester-polyurethane where one or more solvents are present and/or employed, thereby obtaining the polyester-polyurethane-poly(meth)acrylic hybrid dispersion.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the method and means for an efficient isolation of membrane-bound proteins from biological samples, e.g. in samples from raw or processed plant material. The biological sample can be highly processed, e.g. by applying high temperature, pressure, or a chemical treatment and can be derived from seed matrices as well as other typical plant tissues for example seed, grain, leaf, root, or pollen. The invention comprises the provision of a novel extraction buffer (MEB) and its application in the method of the invention.
