Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé, lequel consiste à soumettre un effluent de polymérisation comprenant un polymère solide, un monomère non modifié, un diluant et des quantités mineures de contaminants, à une vaporisation instantanée haute pression dans laquelle la plupart des constituants du fluide sont vaporisés instantanément et dans laquelle un courant d'écoulement, comprenant le diluant et des quantités mineures de monomère, est séparé de la majeure partie des composants fluidiques vaporisés. Le procédé consiste ensuite à soumettre le courant d'écoulement à une élimination des oléfines, afin d'obtenir un courant essentiellement dépourvu d'oléfines, destiné à un recyclage dans une zone de préparation d'une boue catalytique. La majeure partie des constituants du fluide vaporisé instantanément est recyclée directement par retour vers la zone de polymérisation, sans élimination coûteuse d'oléfines, bien qu'il soit possible d'exécuter, le cas échéant, une étape de traitement consistant à éliminer d'autres contaminants. Puis le procédé consiste à faire passer le polymère et le fluide entraîné dans une zone de vaporisation instantanée basse pression, dans laquelle les fluides sont vaporisés avec perte de vapeur, comprimés et joints à la vaporisation instantanée provenant du réservoir de vaporisation instantanée haute pression. Etant donné que la majeure partie des fluides est enlevée dans la vaporisation instantanée haute pression, on réduit à un minimum l'étape de compression et de refroidissement des fluides produits, avant leur recyclage.

Abstract: An improved process and system for collecting and handling dust in a papermaking machine environment wherein dust-laden air is drawn into and moves along an elongated collector by way of a vacuum-generating source connected to the collector involves the introduction of water into the collector so that the introduced water becomes entrained by the dust-laden air moving through the collector and wet-scrubs the dust-laden air upon entering the collector. With the dust being wet-scrubbed upon exiting the collector, the likelihood of ductwork fouling is substantially eliminated, and the risk of fire in the ductwork downstream of the collector is appreciably reduced.

Abstract: Abstract: Quantification of paralyzing toxins (PSP) by fluorimetry in excitable cells to detect and quantify paralyzing toxins (paralytic shellfish poison, PSP) in an extract of contaminated molluscan shellfish that is based on the pharmacological action mechanism of toxins and comprises three stages during which fluorescence is continuously registered: 1) adding the fluorescent indicator with a bix-oxonol potential to an excitable cell suspension; 2) depolarization of the cells with toxin veratridine; 3) inhibiting the dose depending on depolarization by PSP toxins. Inhibition is evaluated depending on variations of membrane potential shown as changes in fluorescence. This fast, specific and sensitive technique is of special economic-sanitary interest for samples of extracts of bivalve molluscan shellfish contaminated during red tides.
