Title: Process for purifying flue gas containing nitrogen oxides
Inventor: BUISMAN CEES JAN NICO
IPC: B01D53/60
Filed: 1996-02-06
Abstract: A device for purifying flue gas containing nitrogen oxides, in which the flue gas is scrubbed with a circulating scrubbing liquid which contains a transition metal chelate such as Fe(II) EDTA and the complex formed from nitrogen oxide and transition metal chelate and/or spent transition metal chelate is regenerated biologically in the presence of an electron donor, nitrogen oxide being reduced to molecular nitrogen. The biological reactor can be combined with the gas scrubber. The electron donor is, for example, hydrogen or methanol, but may also be sulphite which originates from sulphur dioxide in the flue gas.

Inventor: FELS GREGOR
IPC: C06B21/00
Filed: 1993-10-05
Abstract: In a process for preparing a powder or explosive precursor product substantially composed of nitrocellulose and at least one crystalline explosive, the crystalline explosive in the aqueous phase is added to the nitrocellulose. In order to achieve a particularly uniform distribution of the crystalline explosive, the explosive is available in a fine crystalline form with a mean particle diameter d50 from 2 to 8 (my)m. The crystalline explosive and the nitrocellulose are first separately stirred in the aqueous phase, then they are brough together while continuing to be stirred.

Title: Beverage container with heating or cooling insert
Inventor: SEARLE MATTHEW JOHN
IPC: B65D81/18
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: A container for a beverage has a conventional external configuration with a cylindrical wall closed by a top member. The base member closing the other end of the wall is shaped to form an external cavity which extends within the container along its longitudinal axis. The wall defining the external cavity has a surface in contact with the contents of the container and this surface has a large surface area. The contents of the container can be cooled, heated, or kept hot, or kept cold by the insertion of container-less material into the external cavity. The inserted material may be heated or cooled before it is inserted, or it may be actuable to heat up or to cool down. The container is configured to be substantially the same size and shape externally as conventional containers, although it does have a smaller capacity. It can therefore be filled on the usual filling lines. Furthermore, the container can be filled and treated before the container-less material is retained in the external cavity. This enables treatments such as pasteurisation to be carried out.

Title: Convertible textile fire block material
Inventor: MAIX ANTON
IPC: D06Q1/10
Filed: 1986-07-22
Abstract: A new and improved fire block textile material comprising a carrier means and a textile material means that provides a cover in a first state and a fire block barrier in a second state. The textile material includes a wool yarn material formed as the face layer of the textile material which is convertible by heat from a fire into a fire barrier layer. Wool yarn material is connected to and carried by an under construction material or carrier means. Said carrier means supports the wool yarn material in its first normal state as a textile and supports the charred portion of the wool yarn material in its second charred state as a fire block layer. The wool yarn material has a structure which permits it to bead on exposure to the flux of heat from a fire. The bead recedes or travels along the yarn away from the source of the heat while the fire barrier layer acts as a fire block. A plurality of such beads connect together to form a surface which acts both as a barrier to flame and a barrier to heat transfer to the carrier means and to the material below the carrier means.

Title: Method of producing sugars using strong acid hydrolysis of cellulosic and hemicellulosic materials
Inventor: FARONE WILLIAM A
IPC: C13B20/14
Filed: 1994-03-25
Abstract: An economically viable method for producing sugars using concentrated acid hydrolysis of biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose is disclosed. The cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass are first decrystallized and then hydrolyzed to produce a hydrolysate containing both sugars and acid. Silica present in the biomass can then be removed for further processing. The remaining solids are then subjected to a second decrystallization and hydrolyzation to optimize the sugar yields. An improved method for separating the sugars from the acid in the hydrolysate is also disclosed. The resulting sugar stream can then be fermented, using an improved method which allows both hexose and pentose sugars to be fermented simultaneously.
