Patent DE-19726696-A1 (DE)
Inventor: GRAEF MICHAEL
IPC: G01N21/88
Filed: 1997-06-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for focusing during imaging of structured surfaces of disc-shaped objects in order to provide images required for image processing, to enhance error detection accuracy and to reduce the pseudo error rate. The distance arising as a result of controlled adjustment between a support plane acting as a base for the objects and a reference plane is corrected by an unadjusted pre-regulation control value at least for one part of the surface. The inventive method can be chiefly used in process control of semiconductor wafer manufacturing.

Title: Microbiological recovery of dissolved copper@ as pure metal
IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: Thiobacillus ferroxidans is used in the microbiological purification of effluent waters loaded with heavy metal contaminants to convert dissolved copper into elementary copper.  Thiobacillus ferroxidans is used in the microbiological purification of effluent waters contaminated with heavy metals from the metal processing or electroplating industries. The waters to be treated, which may be highly acidic with a pH of less than 3 to negative pH's, need no pretreatment and may contain very high concentrations of Cu. The Thiobacillus ferroxidans has a biocatalytic effect which causes the equilibrium of the redox reaction between elementary Fe and dissolved copper to be displaced completely in the direction of the formation of elementary Cu.
