Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous fluid filtration device comprising (i) filtration cells (1) which are disposed in the form of a carousel around a rotation axis, each cell being arranged so as to pivot around a tangential tilt axis (3) and (ii) means for removing the filtrate from said cells (1). The latter means comprise at least one outlet (42) at the bottom of each cell, a central collector and connection means comprising a flexible conduit (38). According to the invention, in the cell filtration position, no area of the flexible conduit (38) is lower than another area of said conduit located downstream in relation to the flow of the filtrate. Said flexible conduit (38) is arranged so as not to be lengthened during the tilting movement of the cell.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and device for closing off one or more passages in a ring furnace for calcining of carbon bodies in which the furnace, during the calcining process, over an area comprising a small number of sections, is divided into a preheating zone, a firing zone and a cooling zone, which are together successively moved forwards in the furnace. In order to control the false air intake from a first section (K-1) before the preheating zone to the first section (K1) in the preheating zone, one or more lowerable air dampers (4) are placed in the head wall (2). When the air damper (4) or air dampers is/are lowered, it/they blocks/block the supply of false air from the first section (K-1) before the preheating zone to the first section (K1) in the preheating zone.

Abstract: A transcritical vapor compression system includes a fluid circuit circulating a refrigerant in a closed loop. The fluid circuit has operably disposed therein, in serial order, a compressor, a first heat exchanger, at least one non-variable expansion device and a second heat exchanger. The compressor compresses the refrigerant from a low pressure to a supercritical pressure. The first heat exchanger is positioned in a high pressure side of the fluid circuit. The second heat exchanger is positioned in a low pressure side of the fluid circuit. The at least one non-variable expansion device reduces the pressure of the refrigerant from a supercritical pressure to a relatively lower pressure. A refrigerant storage vessel is in fluid communication with the fluid circuit and contains a variable mass of refrigerant whereby the capacity of the system may be controlled.

Title: Method for removing metals from acid mine drainage
Inventor: ZHUANG J MING
IPC: C02F1/66
Filed: 2003-11-14
Granted: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A method for removing metal contaminants from acidic mine wastewater using lignin derivatives, such as lignosulfonates and kraft lignin, an alkali coagulant, such as a lime compound, and an alkaline composition for increasing the pH. The lignin derivatives are dispersed in the wastewater and the coagulant is added, increasing the pH to about 4.5 - 8.5 and causing the formation of a floc. The alkaline composition is then added to bring the pH to about 9 to 10, causing the further formation of a floc. Optionally, air oxidation is carried out, reducing the pH to about 8.1 - 8.6. Optionally, a ferric or ferrous salt may also be added. The flocs comprise metal-lignin colloids, metal hydroxides and metal salts. The flocs coagulate to form a sludge. Optionally, fly ash or diatomaceous earth may be added to increase the density and stability of the sludge. The sludge that is formed contains the metals and is separated from the treated water by filtration.

Abstract: A chinrest pad system designed to hold a standard chinrest used with a string instrument that minimizes dampening of vibration and prevents damage caused by the metal components touching the edges of the instrument. The system includes pads located under the support surface of the chinrest member and on top of the lower lip plate used on the lower clamping member. The pads are specifically designed to partially engage the instrument's upper and lower edges and match the curvature of instrument surface immediately adjacent to the edge. Each pad also includes a rear extending lip that bends slightly around the upper or lower edge and extends rearward to prevent the metal rods used with the turnbuckles from contacting the rear surface. During assembly, the pads are positioned over the upper and lower edges so that the compression forces exerted by the support surface and the lower lip plate are centrally located over the sidewall transverse axis, thereby minimizing dampening of vibration.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to devices, systems and methods for removing undesirable materials from a sample fluid by contact with a second fluid. The sample fluid flows as a thin layer adjacent to, or between, concurrently flowing layers of the second fluid, without an intervening membrane. In various embodiments, a secondary separator is used to restrict the removal of desirable substances and effect the removal of undesirable substances from blood. The invention is useful in a variety of situations where a sample fluid is to be purified via a diffusion mechanism against an extractor fluid.  Moreover, the invention may be used for the removal of components from a sample fluid that vary in size. When blood is the sample fluid, for example, this may include the removal of 'small' molecules, 'middle' molecules, macromolecules, macromolecular aggregates, and cells, from the blood sample to the extractor fluid.
