Abstract:
The disclosure provides a treated inorganic pigment, typically a titanium dioxide pigment, comprising an inorganic pigment having a surface area of about 30 to about 75 m2/g; wherein the pigment surface is treated with an organic treating agent comprising a polyalkanol alkane or a polyalkanol amine, present in the amount of at least about 1.5%, based on the total weight of the treated pigment; wherein the treated inorganic pigment has a RHI (rat hole index) of about 7 to about 11. The treated inorganic pigments have better flow characteristics, and generally fewer lumps.
Abstract:
The invention provides a treated powder having improved loose bulk density comprising a silanized inorganic powder treated with a long chain fatty acid or salts thereof, wherein the amount of the long chain fatty acid is about 0.25% to about 2 wt %, based on the total weight of the treated powder.

Abstract:
A method for treating the surface of substantially each deagglomerated particle of an array of easily agglomerated particles by contacting deagglomerated particles with a plasma-activated gas species and modifying the surfaces of the deagglomerated particles to aid subsequent incorporation of the particles into a matrix composition; the module for deagglomerating and dispersing the particles into the plasma-activated gas; the apparatus that comprises the deagglomeration module (322) and a reaction chamber (20) in which the particles are treated with the plasma-activated gas; the method for deagglomerating particles that may reagglomerate after plasma treatment; and a color composition containing plasma-treated pigment particles.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for pelletizing a microbial biomass, extracting a refined lipid composition from the pelletized biomass under supercritical conditions and distilling the refined lipid composition, at least once under short path distillation conditions, to obtain a lipid-containing fraction. Also disclosed are methods of making lipid-containing oil concentrates therefrom, by transesterifying and enriching the lipid-containing fraction.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a paper slurry comprising a treated inorganic pigment, wherein the treated inorganic pigment comprises an inorganic pigment comprising a pigment surface area of about 30 to about 75 m2/g; wherein the pigment surface is treated with an organic treating agent comprising a polyalkanol alkane or a polyalkanol amine, present in the amount of at least about 1.5%, and wherein the treated inorganic pigment has a RHI (rat hole index) of about 7 to about 11.
Abstract:
A method of microbial cell disruption for use in making an aquaculture feed composition is disclosed, wherein a microbial biomass having a moisture level less than 10 weight percent and comprising oil-containing microbes is disrupted, resulting in a disruption efficiency of at least 30% of the oil-containing microbes to produce a disrupted microbial biomass, and, the disrupted microbial biomass is mixed with at least one aquaculture feed component to form an aquaculture feed composition.
