20120074308 | IMMUNOSUPPRESSANT MONITORING BY MALDI MASS SPECTROMETRY - The invention relates to therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) by mass spectrometry, particularly to the monitoring of immunosuppressant levels in blood of patients with transplanted organs. A liquid phase extraction procedure reproducibly extracts the therapeutic drug molecules from whole blood and mass spectrometric analysis on MALDI instruments, with a matrix substance for highest sensitivity and special sample deposition procedure for a reproducible ionization of the therapeutic drug molecules. Suitable internal standard substances added to the blood in exact amounts ensure a correct absolute quantification. The method is particularly suitable for immunosuppressants belonging to the class of macrocyclic lactones (sirolimus, tacrolimus, everolimus) and cyclic polypeptides (cyclosporin A), and even works as a multiplex method for all four immunosuppressants simultaneously. | 03-29-2012 |

20130112627 | CHEMICAL TREATMENT TO IMPROVE RED MUD SEPARATION AND WASHING IN THE BAYER PROCESS - The invention provides methods and compositions for improving the rheology of red mud removed from Bayer Process liquor. The method includes adding a flocculant and a cross-linked polysaccharide to the liquor. This combination separates the red mud from the liquor but also prevents the red mud from becoming too thick. By preventing excessive thickness, the method allows for the formation of extremely dense amounts of red mud even in primary settlers because the dense red mud can still flow. As a result a user can simultaneously enjoy both easy handling of red mud and also high recovery rates of valuable alumina and caustic from the red mud. | 05-09-2013 |

20140263080 | IN-LINE TAILINGS TREATMENT PROCESS - The invention is directed towards methods and compositions for improving the processing of mineral tailings. The method involves diverting a side stream from the main line of a tailings process flow. Into this side stream an additive such as a neat polymer without dilution is added and mixed and is then returned into the main line. By doing this only a portion of the overall tailings flow needs to undergo mixing yet the additive effectively treats the tailings. Even better the process avoids the need to add water to first invert and dilute the polymer additive. As a result tailings can be processed without incurring unnecessary mixing costs and unnecessary water addition. | 09-18-2014 |

20120059173 | DENDRITIC MOLECULES - The invention relates to novel dendritic molecules and methods of making them. The dendritic molecules comprise arms, each of which arms is a polymer. The dendritic molecules can be synthesised by way of a reasonably small number of versatile and reliable step-wise reactions, especially click chemistry reactions. Chemical and structural heterogeneity is possible in the dendritic molecule. The invention also provides for surface and interior functionalisation of the molecule. | 03-08-2012 |

20140124451 | SURFACTANT BASED SMALL MOLECULES FOR REDUCING ALUMINOSILICATE SCALE IN THE BAYER PROCESS - The invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting the accumulation of DSP scale in the liquor circuit of Bayer process equipment. The method includes adding one or more GPS-surfactant based small molecules to the liquor fluid circuit. These scale inhibitors reduce DSP scale formation and thereby increase fluid throughput, increase the amount of time Bayer process equipment can be operational and reduce the need for expensive and dangerous acid washes of Bayer process equipment. As a result, the invention provides a significant reduction in the total cost of operating a Bayer process. | 05-08-2014 |
