摘要:
A pulsed nmr analysis system for polymers materials extracted from industrial processes at a mobility enhancing temperature (at or above glass transition temperature for amorphous polymers, at the crystalline transition temperature for crystalline and semi-crystalline polymers). The sample is measured via nmr techniques and results correlated to viscosity and melt index or melt flow (which are related to average molecular weights). The nmr system (in or out of resonance) includes: sample throughput system (P, LI, V1, V2) and user system controls (104) to establish digitized free induction decay curves (C), from which components functions are determined using linear or non-linear regression techniques to correlate the curve components to the target nuclei and to flow rates in plastics. Substantial improvement of correlation of nmr derived constants and equations of a free induction decay curve with the foregoing polymer properties is obtained via (1) conducting the nmr process at a mobility enhancing temperature (normally elevated compared to the industrial process temperature of the industrial process) and (2) holding temperature substantially constant at such elevated temperature.
摘要:
Apparatus and process for measuring mass flow of a slurry mixture of two components of materials, such as a flow of catalyst solid particles (the first component) or droplets in a fluid carrier (the second component). The slurry mixture is added to a process stream (10) or batch reactor. The flow velocity and the volume fraction of one component are measured and combined with the known specific gravity, of the component being measured, and the physical dimensions of the pipe, in which the slurry mixture is flowing, to determine the mass flow of the component. The flow velocity is measured by correlating signals at two separated locations along the flow path, and the volume fraction is measured by combining the known dielectric constants of each of the materials in the mixture and the measured capacitance of the mixture. The capacitance is measured from electrodes which may be isolated from the flowing materials in some applications, but not isolated from the flowing materials in other applications. The temperature (9) and pressure (11) are compensated in the final calculation, and the mass flow result is used to control, via feedback, the amount of such materials delivered. Also, a subtraction technique to remove interfering power line noise is implemented to improve sensitivity.

Pulsed NMR system for industrial purposes comprising sample throughput system (P, LI, V1, V2) magnetic field adjustment (120, 124) and thermal adjustment (134-138 and 142-146). The resonance is established by a coil (100), excited by a transceiver (104) and interacting with the sample and the magnetic field at resonance to establish received and digitized free induction decay curve forms (C) which are automatically analyzed into Gaussian and exponential components--providing simplified high speed computation means with repetitive test sequence and thermal controls that systematically minimize errors to assure reliable determination of target nuclei quantities in successive samples from an industrial process and utilizing Hahn spin echo based equipment to automatically adjust the analysis of one or more of the analyzed components.
