Patent CA-2651896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WAGNER RUPERT
IPC: B01D53/14
Filed: 2007-05-15
Abstract: Method for the removal of acid gases from a fluid flow containing hydrocarbons or from a fluid flow containing oxygen, by means of bringing the fluid flow in contact with an aqueous solution, which is substantially free of inorganic alkaline salts and which contains (i) at least one amine and (ii) at least one metal salt of an amino acid and/or of a sulfur amino acid. The combined use of amino acid salt and/or sulfur amino acid salt reduces the coabsorption of carbohydrates and respectively oxygen, without substantially affecting the absorption velocity with which the acid gases are absorbed, without substantially reducing the absorption capacity of the solution for acid gases and without substantially raising the consumption of energy necessary for regeneration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for multicomponent surface modified aerosol particle production suitable for, for instance, therapeutic, cosmetic or diagnostic use in which an aerosol containing an active agent is introduced in an aerosol reactor together with a surface agent or surface agent source and/or precursor and wherein the surface agent and/or surface agent precursor is volatilizable. The surface agent vapor saturation ratio is elevated so to cause it to nucleate from the gas phase. Reactor conditions are maintaining such that the active agent remains in the condensed phase and provides a surface for the surface agent to deposit on the active agent containing aerosol particle thus producing surface modified aerosol particles. The method can be used for batch or continuous production. The invention also includes particles made according to the invention and powders and dispersions containing said particles.
