La mousse de titane est produite à partir d'une poudre métallique, par un procédé ayant déjà fait ses preuves pour la production industrielle de filtres céramiques : des mousses en polyuréthane (PU) sont imprégnées d'une solution de liant et d'une fine poudre de titane. La poudre se fixe alors sur la structure cellulaire des mousses. Le PU et le liant sont alors évaporés, et il en résulte un négatif des structures mousseuses, qui est finalement fritté. 3, record 2, French, - mousse%20de%20titane

Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC) is a lactic acid ester that is manufactured by Regenesis. When delivered to the subsurface, lactic acid, which has been shown to be an effective electron donor, is released continuously into groundwater. Because this material can be injected directly into the subsurface it can be used to deliver nutrients passively and enhance active biodegradation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (cVOCs). 3, record 9, English, - lactic%20acid%20ester

An egg sponge is a lightly aerated mixture produced by whisking air into eggs and sugar till a stiff foam is produced, then lightly blending in the flour, etc. In best quality goods no baking powder is used, the whole of the aeration being mechanically produced by whisking. To speed up the process, pressure whisks are now used in which the mixing takes place in a gas-tight container. Air under pressure is forced into the ingredients whilst they are being whisked, hence the individual air bubbles in the sponge are themselves under pressure. 1, record 12, English, - pressure%20whisk
