Title: A method for water purification
Inventor: CARRIERE NICK
IPC: B01D36/04
Filed: 2009-05-13
Abstract: A method of removing hiologically active contaminants from water, specifically pharmaceuticals, personal care products and endocrine disrupting compounds is presented. The method includes contacting a contaminated aqueous solution to filtration media. The filtration media comprises bound recombinant fusion proteins in a predetermined concentration, capable of binding said contaminants producing a filtered aoneous solution. Further is provided a preferred embodiment of a  filtration system that houses the derivatized media. This method improves upon adsorptive filtration processes by providing high specificity and affinity for trace contaminants that would otherwise screened out by more abundant contaminants. Further, this method improves upon degradative processes as it does not release any byproducts into the water. Still further, this method is scalable as the preparation of filtration media requires no surface activation or extra chemical attachment steps.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for vertically producing a steam and combustion gas mixture, typically used in enhanced oil recovery processes. The system is a fluid bed up-flow with combustor system, including a vertical vessel with four sections. In a first section, fuel, oxidizer, and possibly water are supplied to the high pressure combustor at a combustion section of a vertical vessel. The combustion gas from the first section flows to a second section for steam generation, where low quality water is injected and turned into steam.  Next, the third section is a homogenizer vessel, where any remaining water drops are converted to steam and solid particles and discharged from the vessel. The fourth section located at the bottom of the vessel is a fluid bed, receiving and processing the falling solids from the combustion and the steam generation sections.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes a substrate having a low thermal conductivity. Localized heating can be produced using a serpentined heater carried by the substrate. The low thermal conductivity of the substrate substantially confines the generated heat to a region local to the heater thereby reducing required power to operate the sensor. Multiple sensing elements can be deposited onto the substrate adjacent to respective heaters and relatively close together because of the thermal isolation provided by the substrate. In one embodiment, the sensor can include the ceramic substrate, the heater, catalytic material overlying the heater with a gas impermeable layer overlying, at least in part the catalytic material.
