The present invention relates to a process for treating fermented juices by reversed osmosis in particular for increasing concentration thereof in organic substances. The fermented product is treated under a pressure of from 30 to 120 bars and a strong turbulency by passing it through at least one semi-permeable membrane having a high retention rate with respect to organic substances of molecular weights lower than 200.

Process for concentration of fermented juices by reversed osmosis

A process is disclosed for manufacturing finished and semi-finished articles from mixtures of normally incompatible synthetic resin scrap materials. The process comprises coarsely grinding thermoplastic scrap materials containing two or more mutually incompatible thermoplastic resins and possibly up to 25 parts % by weight of foreign materials, incorporating into the coarsely ground thermoplastic resin mixture through the application of heat, pressure, or a sequential or simultaneous application of heat and pressure, from about 5 to about 25 parts by weight of a fibrous material, the individual fibers in said fibrous material having an average length equal to at least three times the average size of the fragments constituting the coarsely ground thermoplastic resin mixture, and finally, forming the resin/fiber mass into finished or semi-finished article employing known and conventional techniques.
