Abstract:
A method for the energy efficient production of metals and alloys by carbothermic reduction of minerals and ores in electric reduction reactors is disclosed. The method includes conveying a wood containing material to at least one pyrolysis step for producing charcoal; conveying the produced charcoal, possibly other carbon-containing reduction materials and metal containing raw materials to the at least one reactor for producing metal or alloy; conveying off-gas from the at least one pyrolysis step and off-gas from the at least one reactor to at least one energy recovery step.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing spherical submicron particles of amorphous silicon dioxide, in which silicon dioxide and a reducing agent is injected into a reaction vessel of zirconium oxide in molten state, said zirconium oxide is serving as a heat reservoir, in which silicon dioxide reacts with the reducing agent producing a silicon-sub-oxide vapour, said silicon-sub-oxide vapour is oxidised into said spherical submicron silicon oxide particles.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a viscosifier for oil well fluids, said viscosifier comprising a cross-linked micro- or nano-fibrillated cellulose (MFC).
Abstract:
The present invention describes a silicon-carbon composite anode tor lithium-ion batteries comprising 40-80 weight % of silicon particles, 10-45 weight % of carbon, consisting of carbon black and graphite, and a combination of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and styrene butadiene rubber (SB.R) as a binder. The invention also comprises a method of manufacturing the anode and a Li-ion battery comprising the Si—C composite anode according to the present invention.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of aluminium oxide particles of spherical morphology and with a particles size in the submicron range.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to apparatus for cooling an object which is exposed to high temperatures and particularly to cooling by heat transfer to a liquid. According to the invention an internal hose is disposed in a fluid conduit. The hose is permeable to the coolant liquid which is circulated therein so that there is created a substantially stagnant fluid boundary layer between the walls of the tube and the internal hose for efficient heat transfer to the circulating fluid within the hose.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF PRODUCING SILICA REFRACTORY MATERIALS IS DISCLOSED. FINELY DIVIDED SILICA IS ADMIXED WITH WATER AND THEN LIME IS ADDED TO THE MIXTURE. THEREAFTER A PROPER AMMONIUM COMPOUND IS ADDED TO PRECIPITAT CALCIUM AS A COMPOUND INSOLUBLE IN WATER AFTER WHICH THE PRODUCT IS BAKED PREFERABLY FIRST AT A LOW TEMPERATURE FOR A RELATIVELY LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME.
Abstract:
A discharge device for containers in which lumpy material or agglomerated bodies are treated with gases in counter-current flow is disclosed. The device comprises a holding chamber comprising trap door in spatial relation to openings in the bottom of the discharge apparatus and chains as sidewalls of the holding chamber.
