Method for the preparation of microencapsulated essential oils or a formulation thereof for various non-agricultural applications.

Applications of microencapsulated essential oils

Provided are microcapsules containing a solid core including at least one essential oil mixed with a porous solid material, where this solid core is coated by at least one layer of a polyurea film and/or a polyurethane film or an amphipathic shell composed of a multivalent salt form of at least one alkanoic acid. Further provided are compositions including these microcapsules, and uses thereof in a variety of agricultural and environmental applications.

Solid core microcapsular compositions and uses thereof

The present invention provides for a novel 'green' agricultural formulation comprising at least one encapsulated volatile essential oil and a non-volatile vehicle in which said at least one encapsulated volatile essential oil is carried.

Formulations containing microencapsulated essential oils

A new method for the preparation of microencapsulated essential oils is disclosed. The microcapsules containing essential oils or a formulation containing thereof may be used for various non-agricultural applications.

The present invention provides high grade opaliform porcellanite having a purity of at least 80% active silica. The invention also provides a process for the production of a high grade opaliform porcellanite having a purity of at least 80% active silica comprising grinding and screening porcellanite rock to form granules having an average diameter of between about 0.6 and 18 mm and then subjecting said granules to wet disintegration to remove soft clays and limestone and gravitic separation to separate the lower density opaliform active silica from higher density impurities intermixed therewith.
