Title: processo de eliminação de mercúrio de rejeitos sólidos
Inventor: WINDMOLLER CLAUDIA CARVALHINHO
IPC: B09B3/70
Filed: 2006-08-24
Abstract: PROCESSO DE ELIMINAçãO DE MERCúRIO DE REJEITOS SóLIDOS A presente invenção caracteriza-se pelo processo de eliminação de mercúrio contaminante presente em rejeitos sólidos em geral que contenham Hg¬ 2+¬ fortemente aderido, como solos, vidros, cerâmicas, madeiras, rejeitos industriais e especialmente resíduos de lâmpadas de vapor de mercúrio, utilizando de forma inovadora agentes químicos redutores sólidos. O processo se baseia na utilização de um redutor químico inorgânico, que por simples trituração com o material sólido contaminado, resulta na rápida redução das diferentes espécies contaminantes de mercúrio para mercúrio metálico. Este mercúrio metálico pode então ser volatilizado e facilmente removido e coletado, levando à descontaminação do rejeito. O processo mostra as vantagens de ser simples, de menor custo, limpo, sem gerar qualquer outro tipo de efluente que necessite tratamento e ainda ser capaz de retirar de forma mais eficiente o mercúrio mais fortemente ligado a rejeitos sólidos comparado ao simples tratamento térmico.

Title: Power-Scalable Betavoltaic Battery
Inventor: HAW MARVIN TAN XING
IPC: G21H1/00
Filed: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A betavoltaic battery comprises layers of fissile, neutron-emitting radioisotopes 8, moderating material 7, beta-decaying radioisotopes 6, and semiconductor diode 4 & 5 adjacently stacked one above another. Neutrons produced by the chain reaction in the fissile radioisotope 8 are slowed down by the moderating material 7 before penetrating into the layer of beta-decaying radioisotope 6 to cause fission. Beta particles produced from the fission of beta-decaying radioisotopes 6 create electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor diode 4 & 5. Electrons and holes accumulate at the cathode (9, figure 1) and anode (2, figure 1) respectively, producing an electromotive force. Because beta particles are produced from neutron-induced fission, instead of from beta decay, this betavoltaic battery is able to generate substantially more power than conventional betavoltaic batteries.
