Abstract: Customized novel disposable flow-through toothpaste tube device: a see through plastic, resin or similar material consisting of a threaded entrance orifice which can be sized to be screwed onto the threaded neck of a toothpaste tube forming a seal. The threaded entrance orifice contains a hole or holes which allow a continuous passage of toothpaste which leads to an exit orifice. Once the device forms a seal with the threaded neck of a toothpaste tube, toothpaste can be forced through the passage and out through an exit orifice by squeezing the toothpaste tube. As toothpaste flows out of the exit orifice of the device it can be applied to the bristles of a toothbrush or the like. The disposable device provides the flexibility to customize the flow chamber to produce a variety of styles and forms designed to appeal to children. These styles include but are not limited to corkscrew like tubes, multiple tubes, words, shapes and logos. The device dispenses toothpaste in a controlled manner preventing overflows and wasted toothpaste.  The novel design and the ability to change devices will promote toothpaste use and brushing of teeth particularly with children.

The raw water has a turbidity of higher than 100 NTU, and a concentration of suspension materials higher than 100 mg/L. The process for clarification of hard water or loaded surface water such as urban or industrial waste water by flotation, comprises injecting a coagulant (1, 1a) of 10-70 wt.% in the water to be treated, injecting (B1) a flocculating additive (30-90 wt.%) on the water to agglomerate suspension particles in the form of flocs (3), and mixing the flocculated water with an emulsion of micro-bubble gas e.g. air in an apparatus. The raw water has a turbidity of higher than 100 NTU, and a concentration of suspension materials higher than 100 mg/L. A 50% of the total dose of the coagulant is distributed for each two injections. The microbubbles emulsion is obtained by pumping a fraction of clarified water and by pressurizing the water in a balloon to dissolve a great quantity of air and to generate the microbubbles by expansion of the liquid pressurized in the flotation apparatus. The pressure of water in the balloon is reduced to 4 bars, and size of the microbubbles is 60 mu m. The clarified water is evacuated at the bottom of the flotation apparatus. An independent claim is included for an installation for clarification of hard water or loaded surface water such as urban or industrial wastewater by flotation.
