20080096983 - Heavy oil emulsion stabilizers containing saccharide based emulsion stabilizer: Heavy oil emulsions, comprising decant oils and No. 6, No. 5 and No. 4 oils, and water are stabilized by adding certain saccharide-based esters. Preferably, the saccharide-based esters are naturally-occurring saccharide esters such as gallotannins, saponin, red gum, and the like.... Agent: Thaddius J. Carvis

20080096984 - Partially hydrophobic silicic acid aqueous dispersions: Aqueous dispersions of partly hydrophobic silica exhibit a smooth change in viscosity with pH over a wide pH range, without gelling or exhibiting local maxima. The dispersions have numerous uses, including use in O/W Pickering emulsions.... Agent: Brooks Kushman P.C.

20080090918 - Separation medium, its preparation and its use: A separation medium in macroporous gel form is disclosed which is obtainable by cooling an aqueous solution of at least one gel forming polymer to a temperature, at which the solvent in the system is partially frozen with the dissolved substances concentrated in the non-frozen fraction of the solvent, said... Agent: Mcdermott Will & Emery LLP

20080085941 - Particle dispersion: A method of dispersing solid which is soluble to not more than 1 part by weight in 100 parts by weight of water at 20° C. and 1020 hPa, which method comprises incorporating at least one self-emulsifying organopolysiloxane (A) and then incorporating solid (B) into an aqueous composition.... Agent: Brooks Kushman P.c.

20080081842 - Emulsion and method of manufacturing emulsion: An aspect of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an emulsion by using a nonionic surfactant, an oil agent and water, wherein the following steps are conducted in a continuous flow system: an emulsification step of forming an emulsion by emulsifying the nonionic surfactant, the oil agent and... Agent: Sughrue Mion, PLLC

20080081843 - Methods for the preparation of superabsorbent particles containing carboxyalkyl cellulose: A method for making particles containing carboxyalkyl cellulose, comprising blending a carboxyalkyl cellulose and a galactomannan polymer or a glucomannan polymer in water to provide an aqueous solution; treating the aqueous solution with a crosslinking agent to provide a gel; drying the gel to provide a solid; comminuting the solid...
