Patent CA-2700622-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ASHWORTH JOHN
IPC: G01N21/76
Filed: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A method has been developed to correct for light absorption due to turbidity and colour of a test fluid, in toxicity bioassays employing a luminescent organism.     Knowing the extent of said light absorption, any additional light reduction caused by toxicity of said light-absorbing fluid towards said luminescent organism is distinguished and evaluated.   Said extent of light absorption is determined from readings of light output of said organism made in a modified double cuvette, with and without said fluid in a separate outer compartment.     Alternatively, said extent of light absorption is estimated from separately measured values of the turbidity and optical absorbance of said fluid, using a regression equation.     In either case, values of said light absorption are inserted into a valid formula for calculating additional light reduction due to toxicity, thus obtaining a true index of sample toxicity and avoiding uncertainties in existing colour-correction methods.

Inventor: FADER JOHN H
IPC: B02C19/00
Filed: 2008-10-09
Abstract: An identification and separation arrangement for forming various mixtures of agglomerates from pyrolized reclaimed carbonaceous materials. The identification and separation arrangement uses a dry air source (28) and a source (16) of reclaimed carbonaceous materials containing small agglomerates and large agglomerates. The reclaimed carbonaceous materials are mixed with the dry air source, pressurized and then introduced to a pulverizer mill (12).  The pulvenzer mill (12) performs a first round of identification and separation by dividing the reclaimed carbonaceous material into small agglomerates and large agglomerates. The pulvenzer mill (12) further fractionates the large agglomerates to form more small agglomerates. The small agglomerates are then moved to a classifier (14) that performs a second round of identification and separation. The classifier (14) separates the small agglomerates into coarse agglomerates and fine agglomerates.
