Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for providing asymmetric oscillations to a container. The container may include a fluid, a particle, and/or a gas. A vibration driver attached to the container provides asymmetric oscillations. A controller connected to the vibration driver controls an amplitude, frequency, and shape of the asymmetric oscillations. An amplifier amplifies the asymmetric oscillations in response to the controller. A sensor disposed on the vibration driver provides feedback to the controller.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reactor and the respective process that uses said reactor for processing lipid- and protein-rich organic waste by means of the technique of low temperature conversion, the reactor also being used for processing organochlorine-contaminated waste and processing lignocellulosic organic waste, the main products generated during processing being oil and coal. The reactor consists essentially of a single-pass shell-and-tube heat exchanger, which has a number of cylindrically-shaped heating tubes and is assembled so that the axis of the heating tubes is positioned vertically, with a triangular distribution, which facilitates the construction of units with a circular cross section and facilitates the distribution of the raw material. The reactor operates continuously as there is a system that induces vibration of the unit, allowing input of raw material and output of coal, and also a unit for condensing the vapours produced during the process, in order to produce fuel oil.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a reactor designed as a disposable element, a container for receiving the reactor, a device comprising a reactor, and a drive unit for generating a rotating-oscillating motion of the reactor, and the use of the device for cultivating cells and/or microorganisms.
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating hydrogen gas in which hydrogen gas of a high purity is supplied to a hydrogen-utilizing device by using a decahydronaphthalene/naphthalene reaction. The apparatus includes a storage tank (10) in which decahydronaphthalene is stored as a crude fuel, a reaction tank (20) which has a catalyst and a heater (22) for heating the catalyst and which causes dehydrogenation of decahydronaphthalene supplied from the storage tank to the heated catalyst, and a separation tank (30) in which hydrogen-rich gas is separated out from naphthalene and hydrogen gas supplied from the reaction tank by using a hydrogen separation film and from which the separated hydrogen gas is discharged.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method and a device for heat treatment of finely divided solids, which consist in organising a gradual and continuous unidirectional displacement of solid particles along a vibro fluidised bed, and in subjecting said particles to a heat treatment at medium or high temperature while they are being displaced. The invention is characterised in that the heat treatment is performed by heating from the outside the conveying tube (10), and the solid particles are displaced under controlled atmosphere in said heated tube (10) up to a hot centrifuge (20) so as to avoid condensation of the condensable gas fractions, with vapour and gas evacuation, and recuperating the solid residues.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sustaining high reaction rates at lower reaction temperatures than conventionally utilized with the particular catalyst. The improved reaction rates are obtained using various techniques and combinations thereof including simulated boiling, utilizing the reactant in the form of a thin film, employing microwaves, and the use of micromachines.
Abstract:
La colonne d'extraction (1) est alimentée périodiquement en phase liquide et en phase gazeuse, la discontinuité d'alimentation engendrant des mouvements pulsatoires qui favorisent le contact entre les deux phases à l'intérieur de la colonne. Sur les deux tubulures (2, 4) d'alimentation de la colonne (1) en phase liquide et en phase gazeuse sont interposées deux vannes (9, 10) asservies directement ou indirectement à une minuterie réglable (11) déterminant la discontinuité et la périodicité d'alimentation de la colonne dans les deux phases.
