Patent EP-0595178-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GANZEWITSCH ALEXANDER L WOWITS
IPC: C02F1/461
Filed: 1993-10-20
Abstract: An improved electrolysis chamber is proposed in which water to be purified and treated first flows through at least one anode chamber containing an anodically insoluble anode and then through an anode chamber containing a soluble, permeable iron anode. Before it flows through the anode chamber containing the soluble iron anode, coke particles are added to the water to be treated so as to initiate a galvanic coagulation process serving to purify the water as it passes through the soluble iron anode. In parallel with the water to be treated, neutral water, which can be mixed for the purpose of purification with the water fed through the anode chambers, is fed through a cathode chamber which adjoins the two anode chambers and is separated by a neutral porous partition. The device according to the invention makes it possible to purify waste waters, in particular those containing heavy-metal ions, efficiently with a low consumption of electrolysis current. <IMAGE>

IPC: B01D53/047
Filed: 1993-04-16
Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for purifying or separating gases employs, in addition to a standard PSA cycle comprising an adsorption step (a), one or more cocurrent depressurization steps (b) for equalization or providing purge gas, a countercurrent depressurization step (c), a countercurrent purge step (d), and a repressurization step (f), an additional countercurrent desorption step (e) performed in conjunction with the first countercurrent desorption step at above atmospheric pressure and a countercurrent purge step at about the adsorption temperature which can provide increased capacity and recovery as compared to PSA processes that only have one countercurrent depressurization step or otherwise do not have a countercurrent purge step. Preferably the pressure reduction during the second countercurrent depressurization step is accomplished by passing another stream from the process, such as the effluent from the first countercurrent desorption step, as a motive gas through an ejector which is in operative communication with the adsorber bed undergoing the second countercurrent desorption step.

Abstract: A coin handling apparatus can operate in either one of two modes. In a first mode, coins are delivered to containers unless a predetermined maximum level T has been reached. When a serviceman services the machine, each container is automatically emptied to a predetermined, alterable float level FD. The emptied coins and the coins in the cashbox are then removed by the serviceman. In a second mode, coins are delivered to containers until the numbers stored in the containers correspond to predetermined, alterable upper levels FU. The containers are replenished to these levels when a serviceman services the machine. Each of the levels FU and FD can be periodically altered on the basis of a calculated likelihood that coins will be required for change.

Abstract: The present invention comprises apparatus for identifying, intercepting and forwarding incorrectly addressed mailpieces having either a machine readable or non-machine readable address. The apparatus reads (either mechanically or manually) the addressee name and the mailpiece destination marking address for processing in a database and comparison to a list of names and former addresses in the USPS National Change of Address database of persons who have requested mail forwarding service. If the read name and address match a name and former address in the database, then the mailpiece is identified as having an incorrect address and intercepted from the mail stream. The apparatus then searches the NCOA database for a forwarding address and delivery point ZIP code corresponding to the address. The forwarding address and delivery point ZIP marking number are printed on the mailpiece in place of the incorrect address and the mailpiece is returned to the mail stream for delivery to the addressee.

Abstract: A method is described for quantitative determination of non-volatile components of coatings or coating components other than pigments and fillers. The method is, for example, suitable for product inspection or for reprocessing of coatings in a recycling process. The coating or the coating component is applied in liquid, pigment-free form to a transparent base which is suitable for infrared spectroscopy, and a homogeneous film is formed on the latter, with at least partial removal of the volatile components. An infrared spectrum of this film is made and the quantity of components under investigation is calculated from this with the aid of the partial least squares method and evaluation of the infrared spectra of films made under identical conditions from coatings of known quantitative composition with various concentrations of the components.

Abstract: An electrolytic process and apparatus is disclosed for oxidizing or reducing inorganic and organic species, especially in dilute aqueous solutions. The electrolytic reactor includes an anode and cathode in contact with a packed bed of particulate ion exchange material which establishes an infinite number of transfer sites in the electrolyte to significantly increase the mobility of the ionic species to be oxidized or reduced toward the anode or cathode, respectively. The ion exchange material is cationic for oxidation and anionic for reduction, or a combination of both for special circumstances. Preferably, the ion exchange material is treated to convert a portion of the transfer sites to semiconductor junctions which act as mini anodes, or cathodes, to significantly increase the capacity of the reactor to oxidize or reduce the species to be treated. Exemplary applications for the disclosed electrolytic process and apparatus are the conversion of halides to halous acids in dilute solutions.
