DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a dissociating apparatus for the isolation of hydrogen for use as combined gas filters and hydrogen generator, and for use in block heat and power plant (BHKW), which has a reaction chamber, by which water or water vapor or a gas-water mixture or a biogas-water mixture is passed.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a dissociating apparatus.    Reaction chamber (1)    Ultrasonic generator (2)    Microwave generator (3)    Gas-water mixture (4)    Electrode with exhaust (6)
NOVELTY - Recycling cellulose-contained material comprises mixing cellulose-contained material with a solvent when acid catalyst is existed, where the solvent is fatty alcohol; and separating the contacted product to obtain a low-boiling product.    USE - The process is useful for recycling cellulose-contained material (claimed).
NOVELTY - (Meth)acrylamide derivatives of glyphosate (I) and (II) are new.    USE - For producing polymers for coatings useful for reducing plant life in a terrestrial or aquatic environment, or preventing fouling of an article in an aquatic environment (claimed), for preventing bacterial growth of e.g. E. coli, or Synechococcus 7002, or for preventing growth of aquatic plant species such as Navicula or Phaeodactium; also for preventing biofouling of an article in aquatic environment such as conduit, ship, or marine machinery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - (Meth)acrylamide derivatives of glyphosate of formulas (I) and (II) are new. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) preparation of (I) and (II);    (2) new homopolymer or copolymer having a monomeric unit derived from (I); and    (3) coating a substrate with a polymeric coating involving: (a) placing a coating precursor comprising an acrylamide derivative of glyphosate (I) on the substrate; and (b) polymerizing the acrylamide derivative of glyphosate (I) so as to form a polymeric coating on the substrate    .
