B01F 27/091 - Stirrers characterised by the mounting of the stirrers with respect to the receptacle with elements co-operating with receptacle wall or bottom, e.g. for scraping the receptacle wall
B01F 27/113 - Propeller-shaped stirrers for producing an axial flow, e.g. shaped like a ship or aircraft propeller
B01F 27/91 - Mixers with rotary stirring devices in fixed receptacles; Kneaders with stirrers rotating about a substantially vertical axis with propellers
B01F 35/12 - Maintenance of mixers using mechanical means
Solid detergent compositions designed to maintain solid integrity throughout production of the pressed solid, during mechanical conveying and during ejection from molds, are disclosed. Solid detergent compositions having unexpected immediate block hardness without a curing step are provided by inclusion of a hardness additive composition comprising a synergistic ratio of polycarboxylic acid polymer chelants to aminocarboxylate chelants. Methods of making solid detergent compositions and solid detergent compositions having at least substantially similar cleaning performance to solid detergent compositions without the hardness additive composition are also provided.
Scavenging compounds and compositions useful in reducing sulfide emissions from asphalt, such as polymer-treated asphalt, are disclosed. The scavenger compositions may include sulfide-scavenging agents. The scavenger compositions also include a metal-containing compound and optionally a solvent. Any of the compositions, sulfide-scavenging agents and metal-containing compounds may be anhydrous. Methods of using the compositions to reduce hydrogen sulfide emissions from asphalt are also disclosed.
Provided is a method of processing stillage from an ethanol production process. The method comprises treating stillage comprising oil, protein, and water upstream of a separation, concentration or evaporation step with at least one coagulant and at least one flocculant, thereby forming treated thin stillage comprising solids which include at least a portion of the oil and protein; and clarifying the treated stillage via a solid/liquid separation process thereby forming clarified stillage and a separated solids phase comprising at least a portion of the solids from the treated stillage.
A23K 20/147 - Polymeric derivatives, e.g. peptides or proteins
A23K 10/38 - Animal feeding-stuffs from material of fungal origin, e.g. mushrooms from waste material from distillers' or brewers' waste
A23J 1/00 - Obtaining protein compositions for foodstuffs; Bulk opening of eggs and separation of yolks from whites
A23J 1/16 - Obtaining protein compositions for foodstuffs; Bulk opening of eggs and separation of yolks from whites from waste water of starch-manufacturing plant or like wastes
C05F 7/00 - Fertilisers from waste water, sewage sludge, sea slime, ooze or similar masses
