Patent EP-0954544-B1 (EP)
Inventor: SANSONE MICHAEL J
IPC: H01M8/02
Filed: 1997-09-29
Granted: 2002-03-27
Abstract: A method for producing polymeric, e.g., polybenzimidazole (PBI) films, is provided by forming a porous membrane by coagulating a polymeric dope solution in a liquid coagulation bath containing a non-solvent alone or a mixture of a non-solvent and solvent; submerging the resulting membrane into a non-solvent bath to remove any residual solvent; placing the membrane into an acid solution, whereby the pores become filled with the acid solution; and drying the membrane to remove residual non-solvent which collapses the porous structure entrapping the acid and forming a dense film. An alternative method involves coagulating said polymer solution directly into an acid/solvent/non-solvent mixture to produce a porous membrane which imbibes the acid solution, followed by drying.

Abstract: Dans le but d'employer un élément de fibre à compensation de dispersion pour la sélection d'une valeur donnée de dispersion, on place une ou plusieurs fréquences ou grilles de réflexion optiques (G1, G2, G3) dépendantes de la longueur d'onde dans une position, le long de l'unité (8), telle que la double traversée d'une section détermine une valeur voulue de dispersion à une certaine fréquence. Un coupleur directionnel (9) détourne l'onde réfléchie vers des moyens d'utilisation (10) pour sa récupération. S'il est nécessaire d'obtenir une valeur de dispersion différente à la même longueur d'onde ou une certaine valeur de dispersion à une fréquence différente, une grille de réflexion, capable de réfléchir à la fréquence appropriée et selon la position appropriée, donne les valeurs requises.

Abstract: A process for pre-emptive potential in bioremediation of oil spills comprising the steps of fabricating cells of micro-organisms capable of degrading hydrocarbons, encapsulating the cells into pods dissolvable in a non-hydrocarbon environment such as water, introducing the pods into a body of petroleum contained in a vessel which if unintentionally fractured to release the body of petroleum into the non-hydrocarbon environment will also release the cells, causing the cells to open and allow the micro-organism to degrade the hydrocarbon and consume the oil spill. The process may also include the step of recovering pods which are not released into the non-hydrocarbon environment from the body of petroleum. The invention also includes a product for pre-emptive bioremediation of oil spills which has cells of micro-organisms capable of degrading hydrocarbons encapsuled in pods and which can be introduced into a body of petroleum during transport and storage and which are activated to degrade hydrocarbon and consume petroleum released into a non-hydrocarbon environment, wherein the pods also contain means for removing unactivated micro-organism cells from the body of petroleum.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of sorbic acid which comprises adding crude sorbic acid obtained by decomposing a polyester formed by the reaction of crotonaldehyde with ketene to hot water at a temperature exceeding 100 °C to conduct at least either of (A) extraction of sorbic acid with hot water and (B) treatment with activated carbon in hot water. The temperature of the hot water is, e.g., 120 °C or below. The amount of sorbic acid to be subjected to the extraction (A) and/or the treatment (B) may be up to the solubility of sorbic acid in hot water at the temperature of the extraction or the treatment. This process permits effective removal by simple means of impurities such as tarry substances formed in the decomposition of the polyester as by-products, thus giving high-purity sorbic acid at high productivity.
