Abstract:
A portable supercritical fluid extraction apparatus, comprising: (i) a pressure vessel for generating a supercritical fluid therein; (ii) a liquid solvent supply tank; (iii) a means for interconnecting said pressure vessel and said liquid solvent supply tank at a predetermined angle for delivery therethrough of a liquid solvent from the liquid storage tank to the pressure vessel; and (iv) a heating component for heating contents of the pressure vessel to produce a supercritical fluid therein. The apparatus may additionally comprise a sample in fluid communication with the pressure vessel, and a receiving vessel in fluid communication with the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel may have a heating means for heating fluid contents therein, for example a heating wrap, a heating block, or a heating jacket.
Abstract:
This specification discloses an operational continuous process to convert lignin as found in ligno-cellulosic biomass before or after converting at least some of the carbohydrates. The continuous process has been demonstrated to create a slurry comprised of lignin, raise the slurry comprised of lignin to ultra-high pressure, deoxygenate the lignin in a lignin conversion reactor over a catalyst which is not a fixed bed without producing char. The conversion products of the carbohydrates or lignin can be further processed into polyester intermediates for use in polyester preforms and bottles.

Abstract:
A heat-treatment device for heat treating packaged products that are available in bulk, and to a method of using the device. The device includes: a chamber; a tank for containing a fluid of a density such that the packaged products float when they are poured in bulk into the fluid, the tank presenting an evacuation compartment for evacuating floating products, the evacuation compartment including a hatch that is suitable for being submerged and then opened so as to evacuate a portion of the fluid including the floating products; fluid supply means for filling the tank and for regulating the level of fluid in the tank; submersion means; recovery means; and reception means.
Abstract:
A instrument for performing synthesis of small molecules such as Oligos and Peptides when using solid phase synthesis techniques to synthesize small molecules. The system and methods include a mechanism for controlling the pressure differential across the reaction vessels that contain the solid support used in solid phase synthesis. Reaction vessels are held in a holder that provides a sealable chamber at the outlet ends of the reaction vessels. The rotor containing the reaction vessels is placed within a sealable chamber. The sealable chamber is fitted with a means for engaging the rotor and draining the reaction vessels to waste. The sealable chamber is also fitted with a means for engaging the rotor to drain the reaction vessels at a slower, variable rate.
Abstract:
An improved high pressure apparatus and methods for processing supercritical fluids is described. The apparatus includes a capsule, a heater, and at least one ceramic ring contained by a metal sleeve. The apparatus is capable of accessing pressures and temperatures of 0.2-2 GPa and 400-1200° C.
Abstract:
A cylinder portion is divided into a cylinder main body, and two side cylinders coupled to opposite ends of the cylinder main body. The cylinder main body is configured so that a sample-enclosing capsule in which a sample and a pressure medium are enclosed can be disposed inside the cylinder main body. Pistons for load transmission are disposed at opposite ends of the interior of the cylinder portion; and locking nuts are provided on the outer sides of the positions. The pistons are moved in an axial direction by screwing the locking nuts. With this configuration, a piston cylinder-type high-pressure generating device in which a cylinder having a small outer diameter is formed of a non-magnetic material can generate a high pressure while securing a sample space having a predetermined effective volume.
