Abstract: A gas-liquid contactor for removing gases and particulate matter from flue gases produced by processing operations of the type carried out in utility and industrial plants. The contactor is generally an open spray absorber having a spray tower (110) whose walls (114) form a passage within the tower (110). Flue gases are introduced into the tower (110) so as to flow vertically upward or downward through the passage. Disposed within the passage are heads (116) for introducing a liquid (118) into the passage such that the liquid (118) contacts the flue gases. A portion of the liquid (118) contacts the wall (114) of the tower (110), such that the portion of the liquid (118) flows downwardly along the wall (114). The tower (110) is equipped with a deflecting device (122) disposed on the wall (114) for deflecting the portion of the liquid (118) away from the wall (114), and thereafter reintroducing the portion of the liquid (118) into the passage so as to contact the gases flowing through the passage. The deflecting device (122) is also preferably configured to obstruct the flow of gases along the wall (114) in order to reduce gas penetration at the wall (114) and divert the gases toward the center of the passage where more efficient contact with the liquid (118) is made.

Abstract: Artificial zeolite is made using coal ash, particularly fly ash, as the starting material, and quality of the artificial zeolite that is produced depends on the composition of the starting coal. Since the production of zeolite is impaired unless the starting materials, including silicic acid and aluminum, that are used in the synthesis of zeolite for catalysts, which is called synthetic zeolite, are of high purity, starting material of low purity cannot be employed. Therefore, the topic was the development of a method of producing inexpensive artificial zeolite of the desired quality employing unused resources, such as descended pyroclastic materials, incineration ash, glass waste, diatomaceous earth waste, aluminum dross, etc., as the starting materials. The present invention is a method whereby artificial zeolite is produced by heat treatment in the presence of water and alkali of an inorganic component comprising silicic acid or aluminum, or a mixture that has been obtained by adding glass, diatomaceous earth and aluminum dross, etc., to an inorganic component comprising silicic acid or aluminum. It is preferred that the alkali is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the water and alkali are an aqueous alkali solution, the concentration of this aqueous alkali solution is 2 to 4 N, and heat treatment exceeds 100 DEG C.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic injection valve (1) comprising two counterwound magnet coils (SP1, SP2) which have identical characteristic quantities and which are placed on the same magnetic circuit so that the force effects of the magnet coils (SP1, SP2) are nullified when they are flown through by the same excitation current. By virtue of the double coil (SP1, SP2) having a canceling effect, the actual energizing process of the valve (1), i.e. the opening of the same, is transformed in one of both coils in a deenergizing process. The rapid current decay is now determined by dimensioning the extinction voltage (UZD2). As a result, it is possible to obtain rapid force build-up times without increasing the supply voltage (Ubatt). The valve can be controlled by using a conventional switching output stage or by using a current-controlled switching output stage. It is also possible to shorten the closing process by reversing the differential current (Id) during deenergizing.
