We describe a new method to isolate and concentrate transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP), either naturally occurring or produced by phytoplankton in cultures. The principles of this method are to use TEP‐sticking properties coupled with magnetic properties of paramagnetic microspheres to magnetically and selective…

Polyvinylalcohol, partially substituted with lipophilic acyl chains, generates polymeric micelles in aqueous phase, containing a hydrophobic core able to encapsulate lipophilic drugs. Two types of polymers were obtained by conjugation of polyvinylalcohol with oleoyl or linoleoyl chains as pendant groups. The polymers,…

C18H37OH–C20H41OH is an example of a binary system showing isopolymorphism. The two alkanols display the same polymorphic behaviour. At low temperatures, they crystallize into the same ordered form γ (C2/c, Z = 8). On heating, γ transforms into the rotationally disordered form R′IV (C2/m, Z = 4), at a few degrees belo…

Silica, SiO2, is typically found in well water supplies. Most of the silica found in well waters is a result of dissolving silica-containing rock. Silica content in brackish water is generally in the range of 20 to 60 ppm. In Salbukh water treatment plant, silica concentration of raw water is about 30 ppm. High concen…
