Abstract:
The present invention provides an extended release insecticide formulation, the formulation comprising: an insecticide on a substrate; a lipophilic wax, wherein the insecticide is incorporated into the wax forming a matrix; a release retarding polymer in the matrix; and a rate extending polymer embed the matrix. Methods of making the formulation and use of the formulation are also provided.
Abstract:
A method for forming a filtration media from waste media includes combining the waste media with a binder to form a dry mixture, adding a liquid composition to the dry mixture to form a slurry, and extruding the slurry to form a filtration media. The waste media may include fines or oversized media resulting from a prior media production process that have been subjected to a hydration process. The waste media may be ground and sized prior to combining it with the binder. The binder may include clay, cellulose materials, and combinations thereof. The liquid composition may include water and optionally one or more additional additives selected from the group consisting of permanganates, acids, bases, amines and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the slurry is extruded into a honeycomb matrix.
Abstract:
A method for producing a rare earth sintered magnet uses granules having an excellent fluidity to improve the dimensional accuracy and production of a compact formed of the granules without significant property losses. The granules are formed by adding an organic liquid to primary alloy particles having a predetermined composition to produce granules having the primary alloy particles adhered together by the organic liquid. Preferably, from 1.5 to 15.0% by weight of the organic liquid is added to the primary alloy particles.
Abstract:
A machine system and process for producing attrition resistant, controlled release fertilizer is described. In the process, a prewet solution is used to initially coat the plant nutrient to be coated followed by the separate application of the individual components used in the coating. The machine system provides an improved means for uniformly applying a single layer or multiple layers of polymer coatings to the plant nutrient.
Abstract:
Enzyme granules suitable for incorporating into detergents or cleaners are provided containing an enzyme, a carrier material and a granulation auxiliary containing phosphated starch. The phosphated starch preferably has a mean degree of phosphation ranging from 1.5 to 2.5. Carrier materials include starch, cereal flour, cellulose, alkali metal aluminosilicate, layer silicate and alkali metal salts. Enzymes include proteases, lipases, amylases and cellulases. A preferred carrier material contains water-swellable starch, sucrose, cereal flour and cellulose powder. The granulation auxiliary may contain a co-granulation auxiliary selected from polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from 200 to 6,000, 1,2-propylene glycol and a poly-ethoxylate having a specified formula. Preferred granules have a mean particle size of from 0.3 to 3 mm. The granules are produced by forming a mixture containing an aqueous enzyme-containing liquid such as a concentrated fermentation broth, the carrier material and the granulation auxiliary, extruding the mixture, cutting the extruded mixture to obtain granules, and optionally spheronizing and drying the granules.
Abstract:
Method of treating dry, free flowing, dust forming compositions with selected liquids to agglomerate a portion of the particles into groups of particles of sufficient size so that the treated compositions are substantially dust free and retain their free flowing properties, and the compositions produced by such treatment
Abstract:
A process for producing granules having reduced tackiness by forming granules in a fluidized bed apparatus and then adding a granule stabilizer to the discharge air stream of the apparatus after the granules have emerged from the apparatus.
Abstract:
Internal additive for the preparation of prills of ammonium nitrate comprising, in aqueous solution, a mixture of at least one salt of sulphonic acid and of at least one salt of polycarboxylic acid.
