Title: Process for the recovery of purified terephthalic acid (pta)
Inventor: SORO LUIGI
IPC: C07C51/43
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: A process for the preparation of purified terephthalic acid which comprises first introducing a liquid slurry containing crystalized terephthalic acid with impurities into a high pressure rotary filter, then filtering the slurry with the high pressure rotary filter and collecting at least some of the solid portion. The filter typically consists of a case, pressurized at process pressure, and a drum covered by a filtering device such as, for example, a cloth or equivalent filtering device, pressurized at a pressure suitably lower than the case. The drum is ideally divided into three zones: first zone, where the mother liquor is removed; second zone, where the solid is washed; third zone, where the excess of washing liquor is removed and the solid is discharged. The solid portion is washed, onto the filter drum, with additional amounts of water. The washed solid portion is then transferred to a letdown zone, which is at a pressure less than the zone in which the solid portion was collected. After the solid portion is transferred into the letdown zone, the connection between the letdown zone and the collection zone is sealed, such that a change of pressure in the letdown zone will not effect the pressure in the collection zone. The pressure of the letdown zone is then gradually reduced and the solid removed. The letdown zone is then pressurized back up so that it is ready to accept additional solid from the rotary filter.

Title: Trophic conversion of obligate phototrophic algae through metabolic engineering
Inventor: LIPPMEIER JAMES C
IPC: C12N1/12
Filed: 2001-04-20
Abstract: Most microalgae are obligate photoautotrophs and their growth is strictly dependent on the generation of photosynthetically-derived energy. In this study it is shown that the microalga Phaeodaclylurn tricornutum can be engineered to import glucose and grow in the dark through the introduction of genes encoding glucose transporters. Both the human and Chlorella kessleri glucose transporters facilitated the uptake of glucose by P. tricornutum, allowing the cells to metabolize exogenous organic carbon and thrive, independent of light. This is the first successful trophic conversion of an obligate photoautotroph through metabolic engineering, and it demonstrates that methods of cell nourishment can be fundamentally altered with the introduction of a single gene. Since strains transformed with the glucose transport genes are able to grow non-photosynthetically, they can be exploited for the analysis of photosynthetic processes through mutant generation and characterization. Finally, this work also represents critical progress toward large-scale commercial exploitation of obligate phototrophic algae through the use of microbial fermentation technology, eliminating significant limitations resulting from light-dependent growth.

Patent CA-2408994-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DETERING BRENT A
IPC: C01B32/40
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: An apparatus for thermal conversion of one or more reactants to desired end products includes an insulated reactor chamber having a high temperature heater such as a plasma torch at its inlet end and, optionally, a restrictive convergent- divergent nozzle at its outlet end. In a thermal conversion method, reactants are injected upstream from the reactor chamber and thoroughly mixed with the plasma stream before entering the reactor chamber. The reactor chamber has a reaction zone that is maintained at a substantially uniform temperature. The resulting heated gaseous stream is then rapidly cooled by passage through the nozzle, which "freezes" the desired end product(s) in the heated equilibrium reaction stage, or is discharged through an outlet pipe without the convergent-divergent nozzle. The desired end products are then separated from the gaseous stream.

Abstract: Un distributeur automatique de boissons comprend des capteurs de contrôle de divers paramètres, tels que la température (T1) dans sa chambre réfrigérée (30), et pour le contrôle de l'occupation de l'espace (06) à proximité de la chambre. Les données du capteur sont utilisées pour déterminer le moment où doit s'effectuer la commutation entre un mode de fonctionnement normal (S1) et un mode de fonctionnement (56) de gestion d'énergie. Quel que soit le mode de fonctionnement, un système (40) de refroidissement est régulé, de sorte qu'un compresseur (45) se mette en marche lorsqu'une limite de température interne supérieure est atteinte et s'arrête lorsqu'un seuil de température interne inférieur est atteint. En mode de fonctionnement normal, des ventilateurs (F1, F2) font circuler de l'air dans la chambre, de manière qu'une température relativement homogène soit maintenue dans celle-ci. En mode de gestion d'énergie, les ventilateurs sont arrêtés la plupart du temps ainsi que le compresseur. En l'absence de circulation, la température au sein de la chambre réfrigérée se stratifie, de manière qu'une zone froide inférieure (CZ) et une zone chaude supérieure puissent être distinctes. Des boîtes de boisson (C1) sont maintenues en piles verticales (27), de manière que les boîtes inférieures soient situées dans la zone froide.

IPC: C22B15/00
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: Semi-permeable membranes are described that allow for the efficient processing of many liquid based feed solutions, particularly those that contain acids. The membranes of this invention are able to process such feeds with high permeate rates while maintaining excellent retention of dissolved metals, cations, and organic compounds, even in the presence of hot concentrated acids. The semi-permeable membranes of this invention are able to conduct such separations for a useful period of time due to their chemical stability towards acids and their ability to permeate acids.
