Patent CA-2492817-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZHUANG J MING
IPC: C02F1/52
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A method for removing metal contaminants from water uses lignin derivatives, such as lignosulfonates and kraft lignin, a coagulant, such as a metal salt, and a pH-increasing composition. The lignin derivative is dispersed in the contaminated water, the coagulant is added and the pH is adjusted as required to cause flocculation. A sludge is formed that contains the metals and that is separated from the treated water by filtration. Related methods are used to reduce the leachable metal content of contaminated soils. The invention also provides a composition for stabilizing the metal contaminants in soil, comprising lignin derivatives, a coagulant and a composition for increasing the pH. The mixture is blended with the contaminated soil, reducing its leachable metal content.

Title: Systeme favorisant la combustion complete des carburants (notamment l'essence) alimentant les moteurs (4 temps) refroidis a l'eau par radiateurs ii
Inventor: BEAUDOIN LUC
IPC: F02M27/00
Filed: 2005-06-14
Abstract: Dans le domaine général des véhicules ou appareillages motorisés dont les moteurs (4 temps) sont refroidis à l'eau, il existe un système/appareil permettant d'assurer au carburant, grâce à double procédé de transfert de chaleur, une température relativement et suffisamment élevée durant les périodes de fonctionnement du moteur, en vue d'obtenir une combustion plus complète de ce carburant assurant, du même coup, une puissance accrue dudit moteur tout en réduisant de façon aucunement négligeable la quantité des substances aériennes polluantes habituellement produites (y compris le CO2) ainsi que la consommation-même dudit carburant. Cet appareil s'appelle " Système favorisant la combustion complète des carburants (notamment l'essence) pour moteurs (4 temps) refroidis à l'eau sur radiateurs ". Bien que fonctionnel ledit système/appareil, tel que décrit dans sa demande (#2,449,387), n a p ~ atteint son rendement optimal en regard du contrôle de T.degree. du carburant. Or, dans la présente invention, les valves reliées à la circulation du carburant dans le système sont toujours limitées au strict nécessaire (3); toutefois, la valve manuelle de la " ligne hors-échangeur intégrée" est remplacée par une valve électrique à contrôle automatique ou dotée d'un mécanisme apparenté approprié. L'utilisation d'un cylindre métallique ayant une bonne capacité d'absorption/ transfert de chaleur demeure essentielle; toutefois, la reproduction, pour chaque unité particulière, de la configuration (ou de la partie centrale) du boyau installé à l'origine est désormais facultative voire non nécessaire. Pour sa part, le capteur d'énergie(i.e échangeur de chaleur), demeure le même et comprend toujours deux phases (conduction et connexion forcée) qui permettent au système une captation maximale d'énergie thermique. La " ligne hors-échangeur intégrée" contribue toujours au refroidissement du carburant présent dans le système lorsque le moteur est arrêté. Est aussi retenue, dans la présente invention, l'option (voir " Revendications ") pouvant permettre une diminution appréciable du temps nécessaire audit système pour débuter réellement son travail principal (transfert de chaleur au carburant).
