International Classification:

H01M 10/0565

US Classification:

429309

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an electrolyte comprising a first phase including a porous organic microparticle; and a second phase including an ethylene oxide-containing polymer (i.e., an EOP); wherein the second phase is a continuous phase. The polymeric electrolyte compositions preferably also includes a lithium salt and optionally a solvent. The polymeric electrolyte composition may have a shear modulus, G′, measured at 1 rad/sec and about 30 C. and a conductivity, σ, measured at about 30 C., such that i) G′-σ is greater than about 200 (S/cm)(dynes/cm); and ii) G′ is from about 10to about 10dynes/cm.

US Classification:

429189, 429317, 429312, 429309

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to novel block copolymers and to novel polymeric electrolyte compositions, such as solid polymer electrolytes that comprises a block copolymer including a first block having a glass transition temperature greater than about 60 C. or a melting temperature greater than about 60 C., and a second block including a polyalkoxide. The polymer electrolyte composition preferably has a shear modulus, G′, measured at 1 rad/sec and about 30 C. and a conductivity, σ, measured at about 30 C., such that i) G′—σ is greater than about 200 (S/cm)(dynes/cm); and ii) G′ is from about 10to about 10dynes/cm2.

International Classification:

C02F 1/56
C02F 11/14

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method of dewatering an aqueous mineral suspension comprising introducing into the suspension a flocculating system comprising a mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyethylene oxide polymers, in particular a mixture of one or more low molecular mass polyethylene glycol with one or more high molecular mass polyethylene oxide. Said mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyethylene oxide polymers is useful for the treatment of suspensions of particulate material, especially waste mineral slurries. The invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of tailings and other waste material resulting from mineral processing, in particular, the processing of oil sands tailings.

Abstract:

A method for reducing bacterial contamination on a food surface. The method comprises applying to the food surface a quaternary ammonium salt and a methylcellulose. The methylcellulose has anhydroglucose units joined by 1-4 linkages wherein hydroxy groups of anhydroglucose units are substituted with methyl groups such that s23/s26 is 0.36 or less,wherein s23 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 3-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups andwherein s26 is the molar fraction of anhydroglucose units wherein only the two hydroxy groups in the 2- and 6-positions of the anhydroglucose unit are substituted with methyl groups.
