Abstract:
Iodine-containing germicidal compositions are disclosed that remain physically stable for extended storage periods with little to no iodine complexing agent being present. The compositions employ a mixture of emollients, such as glycerin and ethoxylanolin, to create a composition that in certain embodiments presents a cloudy or emulsion-like appearance.

Abstract:
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reforming converts carbonaceous compounds into a fuel for use in generating electrical power. Energy rich hydrocarbon fuels, such as coal, marine diesel, oils, and hydrocarbon wastes are employed as a feedstock for the ICP, which transforms the feedstock into a fuel that can be used by fuel cells and gas turbines for the production of electricity. Overall efficiency of an ICP based electrical power system can be increased by providing partial oxidation within the reaction vessel. Partial oxidation conditions consume a small amount of the reformed fuel gas, thereby liberating sufficient thermal energy to reduce the electrical power requirements of the ICP to maintain desired reactor temperatures, and providing an increase in the overall net electrical power production. Integrated power production system can also adjust to meet an increased requirement for process heat and steam by balancing the effect of partial oxidation.
Abstract:
High power inductively coupled plasma technology is used for thermal cracking and vaporization of continuously fed carbonaceous materials into elemental carbon, for reaction with separate and continuously fed metal catalysts inside a gas phase high temperature reactor system operating at or slightly below atmospheric pressures. In one particularly preferred embodiment, in flight growth of carbon nanomaterials is initiated, continued, and controlled at high flow rates, enabling continuous collection and product removal via gas/solid filtration and separation methods, and/or liquid spray filtration and solid collection methods suitable for producing industrial scale production quantities. In another embodiment, the reaction chamber and/or filtration/separation media include non catalytic or catalytic metals to simultaneously or separately induce on substrate synthesis and growth of carbon nanomaterials. The on substrate grown carbon nanomaterials are produced in secondary chambers that are selectively isolated for periodic removal of the product.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a stable solid formulations of tetrahydrobiopterin, processes for producing them, and treatment methods using such formulations.
