Abstract:
The present invention relates to specific polyesters which are particularly suitable for use in fabric treatment applications, such as in fabric care and laundry detergent products. In such applications, the polyesters exhibit improved freshness performance, and especially good anti-malodor performance.

Abstract:
Lignin-based adsorption materials for treatment of contaminated fluids, wherein the lignin adsorption material is a high molecular weight, crosslinked lignin residue (A), resulting from a steam pre-treatment process of a lignocellulosic residue followed by the removal of the major part of the cellulose and hemicellulose components and preferably., the lignin residue (A) is gained from wheat straw, sugar cane bagasse or other agricultural residues. The invention further relates to a process for removal of metals from contaminated fluids by employing a lignin based adsorption material, comprising the following steps: a. Contacting a lignin residue (A) with a to be treated metal contaminated fluid (B). b. Separating the treated fluid from the residue to obtain a fluid with reduced metal content (C) and a metal containing solid residue (D). c. Disposal of the treated fluid with reduced metal content (C). and d. Disposal of the metal containing residue (D).
