    摘要: Chemical reactor (10) and method for cracking are disclosed. A process fluid is accelerated with axial impulse impellers (40A, 40B) to a velocity greater than Mach 1 and, in turn, generating a shock wave (90) in the process fluid by decelerating it in a static diffuser (70) having diverging diffuser passages (72). Temperature increase of the process fluid downstream of the shockwave cracks or splits molecules, such as hydrocarbons entrained in the process fluid, in a single pass, through a unidirectional flow path (F), within a single stage, without recirculating the process fluid for another pass through the same stage. In some embodiments, a system involving at least two turbomachine chemical reactors (110) may provide multiple successive stages of one or more axial impulse impellers (40A, 40B), paired with a diverging passage, static diffuser (70).

    摘要: The present invention refers to a method and an equipment for the extraction of compounds from grapes by means of ultrasound in vinification processes generated through a sonoplate coupled to the walls of the pipe/duct through which the crushed grapes flow. During this extraction the transfer of phenols responsible for color from the solid portion (skin) to the liquid portion after crushing the grapes takes place as a consequence of the phenomenon known as cavitation, which allows the breaking of the skin cells and makes the phenolic compounds responsible for the color available to the liquid medium to be integrated in said liquid medium enhancing wine color.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a systematic method for phosphorus sustainability, sand soilization and odor removal utilizing the phosphorus-unlocking and odor removing green chemistry of a surface-oxygenated biochar composition made through ozonization in combination with sonication. Surface-oxygenated biochar compositions and sonication-ozonization methods create advanced hydrophilic biochar materials having higher cation exchange capacity, optimized pH, improved wettability, and toxin free components. These sonicated and ozonized biochar compositions are used as filtration materials for clean water and air, as phosphorus solubilizing reagents to mix with phosphate rock materials to make a slow-releasing phosphate fertilizer, as biochar soil additives to help solubilize phosphorus and reduce phosphorus fertilizer additions required to achieve desired soil phosphorus activity, crop uptake, and yield goals, as sand soilization reagents by utilizing their liquid gel-forming activity in the spaces among sand particles to retain water and nutrients and hold the sand particles together, as plant growth stimulants by using the humic acids-like surface-oxygenated biochar substances at a proper ppm concentration and as carbon sequestration agents to help control climate change for energy and environmental sustainability on Earth.

    摘要: A method for the management of phosphogypsum consists in that a reactor (2) is charged with apatite and/or phosphorite phosphogypsum and with an aqueous or ammoniacal solution of ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate from a pre-reactor (1), at 1: (0.1-4) ratio of phosphogypsum to the aqueous or ammoniacal solution of ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate, the entire contents are stirred at −10° C. to 200° C. for at least 2 minutes, CO2 being released in the course of the process is directed to the pre-reactor (1), and the post-reaction mixture is directed to a filter (3) to obtain an aqueous ammonium sulphate solution, whereas the precipitate from the filter (3) is heat-treated, followed by dissolving it in nitric acid in a reactor (5), and the resultant suspension is filtered through a filter (6) to obtain an aqueous calcium nitrate solution, and CO2 being released in the reactor (5) is recirculated to the pre-reactor (1) wherein CO2 is reacted with ammonia in an aqueous solution to obtain the aqueous or ammoniacal solution of carbonate and/or bicarbonate which is directed to the reactor (2), with the process for obtaining the aqueous or ammoniacal solution of ammonium carbonate and/or bicarbonate being conducted until the pH 7-12 of the solution is reached.

    摘要: Materials such as biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) and hydrocarbon-containing materials are processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can use feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials and/or starchy materials, or oil sands, oil shale, tar sands, bitumen, and coal to produce altered materials such as fuels (e.g., ethanol and/or butanol). The processing includes exposing the materials to an ion beam.
