Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the separation and removal of iron ions
from a basic zinc solution. The process involves: treating an aqueous basic zinc
solution with a solid ion exchange resin containing an insoluble cross-linked polymer
which contains at least one pendant phosphonate group, at a pH of from about 8 to
about 12, and a temperature of from about 10°C to about 90°C, for a time period
sufficient to form solid phase-bound iron ions and a liquid phase containing the
aqueous basic zinc solution having an iron ion concentration that is substantially
reduced; separating the solid phase-bound iron ions and the liquid phase; and treating
the solid phase-bound iron ions with an aqueous acidic solution under conditions
sufficient to regenerate the solid ion exchange resin. The present invention also
provides a process for preparing zinc oxide that is substantially free of iron ions. This
process involves: (a) treating ammonium carbonate and zinc oxide to form a mixture
containing a zinc ammonia carbonate complex and metal impurities such as iron, lead,
and cadmium, and optionally sulfur; (b) optionally filtering the mixture from (a) to
produce a residue containing mostly sulfur and a filtrate containing mostly the zinc
ammonium carbonate complex and metal impurities containing iron, lead and
cadmium; (c) treating the filtrate from (b), or the mixture from (a) with zinc(0) to remove
the lead and cadmium and to form a cementation product, and filtering the
cementation product to form a cementation residue containing mostly lead and
cadmium and a cementation filtrate containing mostly zinc and iron ions; (d) treating
the cementation filtrate from (c) with the above mentioned ion exchange resin, for a
time period sufficient to form solid phase-bound iron ions and a liquid phase containing
the cementation filtrate having an iron ion concentration that is substantially reduced;
(e) heating the liquid phase from (d) to remove ammonia and to precipitate zinc ions in
solution as mostly zinc carbonate; and (f) calcining the zinc carbonate precipitate of
step (e) at a temperature of from about 200°C to about 1100°C to convert the zinc
carbonate to zinc oxide.

Abstract: The system and method facilitates the transmission of relatively high voltage signals via a thin oxide gate CMOS device without an excessivelydetrimental electric field build up across the thin oxide layers forming a gatein a CMOS device. The high voltage CMOS thin oxide gate system andmethod provides a degradation repression bias voltage signal to the thin oxide gate of the CMOS device. The degradation repression bias voltage signal establishes a differential voltage potential between the source and draincomponents of the thin oxide gate output CMOS device and the gate component of the thin oxide gate output CMOS device. The degradation repression bias voltage signal is maintained at a level that prevents that excessively detrimental electric field stresses are not induced in oxide layersthat form the thin oxide gate in the output CMOS device. The System and method does not require additional power supplies or reference voltages and does not cause the thin gate oxide device to dissipate additional power in a static (non-switching) state.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de traiter in situ des grandes masses d'eau contaminées par des métaux lourds et présentant des strates de densité variable, de manière à fixer les métaux contaminants. Ce procédé de fixation des métaux est tout particulièrement destiné au traitement de grandes masses d'eau contenant des métaux et se trouvant au contact de matériaux constitutifs du sol ou de terre afin d'empêcher la pénétration des métaux dans le sol. Ce procédé permet également de traiter la limite entre l'eau et le sol dans le lac de carrière de manière à permettre une fixation supplémentaire. Les lacs de carrière peuvent comprendre des lacs de mines à ciel à ouvert, des lacs de mines souterraines, des cours d'eau et toute masse d'eau analogue. Le procédé décrit dans cette invention permet également de traiter une mine abandonnée avant le remplissage de cette mine par de l'eau. Au départ, la densité moyenne de la masse d'eau est déterminée, cette densité étant plus importante dans des zones présentant une température égale ou proche de 4 °C. Ce procédé consiste à introduire, dans la masse d'eau, une substance de traitement présentant une densité supérieure à la densité moyenne; à fournir au moins une bactérie à proximité ou à l'intérieur de la masse d'eau; à produire des sulfures bactériens provenant de l'introduction préalable de la bactérie; à provoquer la réaction in situ des sulfures bactériens et des ions métalliques ou des composés à teneur en métal dans la masse d'eau; à réduire la solubilité des ions métalliques par formation de sulfures métalliques; puis à inhiber la vitesse de migration des ions métalliques ou des autres composés à teneur en métal dans ou depuis les matériaux constitutifs du sol ou de la terre au fur et à mesure qu'ils se déposent hors de l'eau.

Abstract: A captured image is processed with one or more correction
processes selected from a plurality of such processes, each associated with
correction of a specific type of image defect, in order to improve the appearance
of a viewed image generated from the captured image. Preliminary to the image
processing, meta data related to image capture is obtained that is unique to each
captured image, where the meta data is capable of indicating whether the specific
types of image defects are likely to be present in the viewed image generated from
the captured image. The processing then involves predicting the presence of the
image defects based at least in part on the meta data, thereby generating process
application criteria which indicate a level of image defect that if left untreated
would reduce the perceived quality of the viewed image; selecting one or more
correction processes to employ on the captured image based on the process
application criteria; and applying the one or more selected correction processes to
the captured image to generate the viewed image.
