Title: Method and devices for producing a textile lap
Inventor: JOURDE BERNARD
IPC: D01G15/46
Filed: 1998-11-05
Abstract: The invention concerns a card or any other apparatus for producing a web (1) feeding a distributor layer (2) two elementary webs (15a, 15b) constituting a lap web (16) deposited in reciprocating motion on a transverse output conveyor (26). In the apparatus (1) means for adjusting the speed of card doffers (13a, 13b), condensers (17, 18), web doffers (19a, 19b),cylinder (4) and/or feeder (7), and/or means for adjusting the cylinder-card doffer spacing affect the surface weight of the elementary web depending on the surface weight required at each point in the lap (67) width to be constituted on the output conveyor (26). The method consists in determining the delay incurred by each elementary web section for which the weight is being adjusted relative to the lap web being deposited; deducting therefrom the position where each web section will be deposited when the adjustment for its weight is carried out, thereby determining the weight adjustment to be applied thereto. The invention is useful for producing with high industrial flexibility laps with great variety of profiles.

Title: Cryogenic separation of air containing impurities in the form of aerosols
Inventor: KRAUS GEORGES
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1999-05-06
Abstract: The air flow passes through the following stages:  (a) compression to a pressure greater than 1 bar;  (b) cooling the air to a cryogenic temperature less than -120 deg. C;  (c) cryogenic distillation of the air. The process includes at least one stage of eliminating at least part of the aerosols in the air flow. Installation for carrying out the process  The aerosols are hydrocarbons, oils or oxidizable components and their size is of the order of 0.1 micro m to 0.2 micro m. At least one stage of eliminating the aerosols is carried out before stage (b) and/or at least part of the aerosols are eliminated by filtering the air flow by passing it through a cooling loop and across a granular bed by centrifuging the air or passing it through a cyclone. At least one stage of eliminating the aerosols is carried out after stage (b), inside the distillation column by filtering and/or purging a cryogenic liquid obtained from air. The filtration is carried out on a cryogenic liquid contained in the vaporizer/condenser bath in a medium pressure column. Preferably, the cryogenic liquid is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. In stage (a), the compression is to a pressure greater than 2 bar, preferably between 3 and 40 bar. The air is filtered prior to the compression stage. Nitrogen, oxygen or argon are recovered from the process.

Title: Purification de materiaux impurs au moyen de solvants non aqueux
Inventor: BELLAMY SIMON ANDREW
IPC: B01J41/04
Filed: 2002-01-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré permettant d'augmenter la pureté d'un produit impur, ce procédé pouvant servir par exemple à la production de nicotine à faible coloration. Ce procédé consiste à faire passer une solution d'un produit, par exemple de la nicotine, de pureté moindre, dans un solvant non aqueux tel qu'un hydrocarbure fluoré, par exemple du tétrafluoroéthane, à travers une résine échangeuse d'ions ou un adsorbant, de manière que les impuretés soient retenues sur la résine et que le produit purifié traverse cette dernière. Ce procédé permet la préparation d'un matériau présentant un degré de pureté accru, par exemple la séparation des composants entraînant une coloration dans la nicotine, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à une distillation.
