    Abstract: The invention provides a method for continuously producing composite nanoparticles, the method comprising heating a precursor mixture with supercritical water, wherein the mixture contains a first compound capable of transitioning from a monoclinic to a tetragonal rutile crystal state; cooling the heated mixture to obtain core particles of a predetermined shape and size; encapsulating the core particle with a second precursor to create a core-shell construct; and encapsulating the construct with an organic material. Also provided is a device for continuously synthesizing composite nanoparticles, the device comprising a water supply and a precursor supply; a means for heating the water, a continuous flow hydrothermal reaction chamber adapted to receive the heated water and precursor, a means for chilling the heated water and precursor, and a capping agent supply positioned downstream of the reaction chamber. The invention also provides a nanocomposite particle comprising a core region, and a conformal organic overcoat.

    Abstract: Flow control mechanisms control the direction and flow rate of synthesis reagent through one or more synthesis reaction vessels for automated solid phase synthesis. Selectable, known, and reproducible positive or negative pressure differentials (−5 to +10 psi) accomplish controlled, bidirectional (forward and reverse) flow of synthesis reagents through synthesis media contained within the reaction vessels. Venturi-based vacuum apparatus, valves, electronic pressure regulators and compound digital pressure gauge, can be added to automated solid phase synthesis instruments to provide, control, and monitor known, selectable, reproducible negative and positive pressures to one or both valve sealable and un-sealable ends (inlets and outlets) of the reaction vessel as needed to generate and reverse said pressure differentials between the opposite ends of said synthesis reaction vessels, yielding controlled forward and backward flows of synthesis reagents through the synthesis media.

    Abstract: A method for producing organic urea is provided that, by mixing and reacting liquid ammonia (NH3) and gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) through the steps of ammonium carbamate formation (5), carbamate decomposition (7), urea synthesis (8) and evaporation (9) thereof, is carried out using organic ammonia from animal and plant biomass (2) and carbon dioxide recycled from the exhaust gases (6) from combined-cycle biogas boilers with plant biomass. The steps preceding the organic urea production include methanization (1), with a biomass “digester”, mixing with pig and chicken slurry and blood, pine needles and ash, and water, until obtaining: methane gas, air, gaseous ammonia and water vapor and PH regulator and catalyzing (3), where the obtained gases are condensed by cooling and the gaseous ammonia is separated to be stored at a pressure of 13 atmospheres. Organic urea and the chemical reactor AUS32 manufactured using from biomass are also detailed.
