    摘要: The magnetic particle separator uses an induced magnetic field to separate magnetic particles held in solution by magnetophoresis. The magnetic particles may be, for example, inherently paramagnetic or superparamagnetic, may be magnetically tagged or the like. First and second magnetic particles initially flow along a longitudinal direction. An external magnetic field along a lateral direction, orthogonal (or near orthogonal) to the longitudinal direction, is applied to an externally magnetizable wire, which extends along a transverse direction orthogonal to both the longitudinal and lateral directions. The external magnetic field generates an induced magnetic field in the externally magnetizable wire, and the induced magnetic field generates repulsive magnetic force on the first and second magnetic particles. Due to differing magnetic susceptibility, size and/or mass between the first and second magnetic particles, they are separated by following separate paths generated by the respective magnetic forces thereon.

    摘要: Fouling rate inhibition for a hydrogenation reactor. A hydrocarbon hydrogenation method comprises passing a liquid feedstream through a magnetic field to separate magnetically susceptible particles, and introducing the magnetically lean stream into a fixed catalyst bed under hydrogenation conditions to saturate carbon-carbon double bonds in the hydrocarbon. Also, a hydrogenation reactor system comprises a magnetic conditioning zone, an inlet flow path to introduce a magnetically lean stream from the magnetic conditioning zone into a fixed catalyst bed and an outlet flow path from an outlet end of the catalyst bed to withdraw reactor effluent.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an apparatus for sorting a particulate material. The apparatus comprises a receiving portion for receiving the particulate material having a particle size within a predetermined range of sizes. The apparatus also comprises a distributor for receiving the particulate material at an upper end thereof and having a sloped distribution surface along which, in use, the particulate material passes substantially by gravity. A surface area of the sloped distribution surface increases towards a lower end of the distributor to facilitate a monolayer feed stream of the particles exiting and falling from a lower end of the distributor distributed as a curtain-like stream of particles. The apparatus further comprises a magnetic element for generating a magnetic force that is directed such that the particles of the falling feed stream that exit the lower end of the distributor have pathways that depend on magnetic properties of the particles. The apparatus also comprises sorting portions for sorting the particles based on the pathways of the particles.

    摘要: A process of sorting metallic single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from semiconducting types by disposing the SWNTs in a dilute fluid, exposing the SWNTs to a dipole-inducing magnetic field which induces magnetic dipoles in the SWNTs so that a strength of a dipole depends on a conductivity of the SWNT containing the dipole, orienting the metallic SWNTs, and exposing the SWNTs to a magnetic field with a spatial gradient so that the oriented metallic SWNTs drift in the magnetic field gradient and thereby becomes spatially separated from the semiconducting SWNTs. An apparatus for the process of sorting SWNTs is disclosed.

    摘要: A method of quantitative analysis of microscopic biological specimens in a fluid medium is disclosed in which the specimens are rendered magnetically responsive by immunospecific binding with ferromagnetic colloid. A known quantity of magnetically-responsive marker particles are added to the fluid medium. The fluid medium is then subjected to a magnetic separation process, to collect the magnetic species from the fluid. The collected species are resuspended in a second fluid medium, and the relative quantities thereof are enumerated to determine the concentration of the desired biological specimen in the first fluid medium. The marker particles may comprise magnetic particles having a relatively large magnetic moment, a magnetic moment approximately equal to the magnetically-labelled biological speciment of interest, or both in order to compensate the determination for variations in immunospecific binding affinity and/or magnetic collection efficiency. The present method is useful for conducting hematological assays, such as red blood cell counts and related determinations. In the case of red blood cells, the specimens may be rendered magnetically responsive by reduction of the iron atoms present in hemoglobin. The enumeration step of the method may be conducted with such equipment as a flow cytometer, or by a novel optical scanning magnetic cell immobilization apparatus.

    摘要: Biological entities such as cells, microbes, or components thereof are labeled with a magnetic colloid containing microscopic magnetic particles. The magnetic particles have a coating capable of biospecific or non-specific binding with the entities. An immobilization apparatus includes a non-magnetic vessel having a ferromagnetic collection structure for attracting the entities toward a collection surface upon which the magnetically labeled entities are immobilized subsequent to placement of the vessel on a support between two magnets. The ferromagnetic collection structure preferably has a sharp edge or high curvature for intensifying the magnetic field and for collecting the entities in a monolayer. The vessel includes an un-obstructed observation path so that immobilized entities may be observed and/or manipulated. The ferromagnetic collection structure may be arranged in various two dimensional patterns to provide a desired collection configuration. The apparatus may further have inlet and outlet ports for allowing a flow of liquid reagent through the vessel for washing or straining the immobilized entities. The support can be translated so that a shoulder on the collection structure concentrates the collected entities by movement of the shoulder in a transverse direction relative to the magnetic field.
