Abstract: Disclosed are method and apparatus for measuring density, that can simultaneously measure gaseous substance density and solid particulate material density and further can simultaneously measure the densities of a plurality of materials such as black smoke, white smoke, and water vapor in the solid particulate material in a simple and reliable manner. The method for measuring density comprises applying a laser beam having an absorption wavelength inherent in a gaseous material contained in an object to be measured, to the object to detect a light transmittance and a light absorption amount and detecting the density of gaseous materials in the object and the density of solid particulate materials in the object. The relationship between the density of a plurality of kinds of solid particulate materials including black smoke and white smoke and a laser beam attenuation level in each absorption wavelength is preset. Laser beams having a plurality of respective absorption wavelengths are applied to the gaseous substance to be measured. The attenuation levels of the applied laser beams having the plurality of absorption wavelengths are measured. The measured attenuation levels are compared with the attenuation levels calculated based on the present relationship to calculate the densities of the plurality of kinds of solid particulate materials.

IPC: F23J1/02
Filed: 2009-12-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for extracting and recovering energy for large for large flows of heavy ashes produced by solid fuel boilers, able to decrease the final temperature of the extracted ash without increasing the air flow entering the boiler flue, usually fixed by the boiler designers at a value around 1.5% of the total combustion air. When the air flow needed to the cooling exceeds the maximum quantity allowable in the boiler, the system allows the exceeding air and the possible vapour to be sent to the air inletting duct entering the air/fume exchanger on the air side, thanks to a separation of the cooling environments made by the ash itself. The separation of the environments of the cooling system is handled automatically based upon a temperature signal of the ash to the discharge from the system. If the cooling air is not sufficient to cool down the ash, the cooling efficiency can be increased by the addition of nebulised water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining cellulose by separating lignin from a biomass comprising lignocellulose in the form of plants or plant parts, wherein the biomass comprising lignocellulose is solubilized in a boiler in an alkaline medium comprising alkanol amine, and dissolved lignin is separated from the resulting raw cellulose. Said method is characterized in that the biomass comprising lignocellulose is not from a wood source, and is solubilized at a temperature of less than approximately 170°C in a solubilizing agent based on alkanol amine and water, wherein the weight ratio of alkanol amine to water is set to 80:20 to 20:80, and raw cellulose thus produced is separated from the waste lye using a typical method. Said method is particularly advantageous for obtaining cellulose from annual plants, particularly wheat straw. The method is advantageously improved in that the solubilization takes place in the presence of a catalyst, particularly of anthrachinon. An advantageous bleaching process may be performed subsequently. Said method is characterized by great economic efficiency, particularly due to the high reclamation rates of the alkanol amine used, and leads to lower environmental impact in wastewater, and to reduced disposal costs. The design of the method leads to a greater yield of cellulose and largely prevents degradation of alkanol amine, particularly monoethanol amine (MEA).
