Patent EP-0656631-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OYAMA JUNICHI C O TOHKAI SEISA
IPC: G21C3/33
Filed: 1994-12-02
Abstract: A fuel assembly is presented in which a plurality of support grids (4) are disposed along the longitudinal direction of the fuel rods (6). The straps (7) forming the grid cells (5) of the support grids (4) are provided with mixing vanes (11) for generating turbulent flow of the cooling water passing through the grid cells(5). In a plan view of the support girds (4), each of the mixing vanes (11) protrudes inwardly of the grid cells (5) and is disposed along a positive diagonal direction and a negative diagonal direction. This configuration of the mixing vanes (11) are effective in preventing the generation of systematic vibrations in the fuel assembly by canceling the effects of the turbulent flows of the cooling water. The direction of protrusion of the mixing vanes (11) can be in two diagonal directions within one support grid, or it can be unidirectional along either diagonal direction within one support grid.

Abstract: Novel treatment process for the recovery of precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium and optionally other elements of value, such as rare earths and in particular cerium, which are present in various compositions, especially used or spent catalysts, for example motor vehicle exhaust catalysts, the said process being characterised in that it includes the following stages:   (i) optionally the composition to be treated is first of all brought to a finely divided state so as to increase it reactivity,   (ii) this composition is then mixed with sulphuric acid, (iii) the mixture thus obtained is then calcined between 150 DEG C and 450 DEG C, (iv) and, finally, the product thus calcined is treated in aqueous medium with, on the one hand, H<+> ions and, on the other hand, with chloride ions, this being done simultaneously or separately, whereby there are finally obtained, on the one hand, a solid residue substantially free from precious metals and, optionally, from rare earths such as cerium, and, on the other hand, one or more solutions containing the abovementioned species.   The process offers very high recovery yields both for precious metals, in particular rhodium, and for cerium.

Abstract: This invention relates to a shutter (2) which protrudes from a seal chamber (1) containing pressurized fluid and which engages in a corresponding port (3) obtained on the feeding line (4) of the fluid of an oleodynamic valve (5). The shutter (2) is hollow and comprises an inner space (6) wherein a piston (7) provided with an antagonistic spring (8) slides. 
     During the actuation, the pressurized fluid of chamber (1) develops its action on front (9) of shutter (2), pushing it towards the inside of chamber (1). Such movement is countered by the fluid contained in said chamber, which is caused to distribute in the inner space (6), pushing piston (7) and spring (8). Such action causes in the same way a part of the fluid to leak from the progressive opening of port (3), so that the pressurized fluid develops it control action likewise in a progressive, gradual way and without bobbings.
