Inventor: BACH HANS FRIEDRICH
IPC: B01D53/68

Granted: 2003-06-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a two-stage method for removing harmful acid substances from the waste gases produced by furnaces or fusion processes. In the first stage, a fine-particle additive consisting of calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide is added to the waste gas at temperatures of 800 to 1250<o>C. The pre-cleaned waste gas is then re-treated in a self-cleaning reactor located downstream, optionally by adding water or water vapour, by means of intensive mixing at temperatures of 60 to 300<o>C. Said additive consists preferably of 80 to 95 weight per cent precipitated calcium carbonate and 5 to 20 weight per cent graphitic carbon and can also contain up to 5 weight per cent organically bonded nitrogen. This technique of combining a dry-additive and dry-sorption process and using a self-cleaning reactor provides a reliable means of eliminating the additive/fly ash deposits in installations which have been the cause of so much concern until now, with overall separation efficiency rates of up to 90 %.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une prothèse endovasculaire (10) se déployant radialement, constituée d'une canule ou d'une feuille en matériau biocompatible, qui comporte au moins un segment longitudinal (14) comprenant une série d'alvéoles fermés (13) reliés entre eux. Chaque alvéole fermé d'un segment longitudinal est délimité latéralement par une paire de tiges longitudinales (15, 16) reliées entre elles à chaque extrémité par un élément (19, 20) ajustable au niveau de la circonférence. Lorsque la prothèse endovasculaire est déployée à l'aide d'un ballonnet (47), les éléments ajustables au niveau de la circonférence se déforment pour permettre le déploiement circonférentiel du segment longitudinal, alors que la longueur de ce dernier, délimitée par les éléments longitudinaux, est maintenue. Dans les versions à auto-déploiement de la prothèse endovasculaire, on utilise un alliage au nickel-titane. Les segments longitudinaux adjacents sont reliés par des segments de raccordement souples (21) permettant à la prothèse de l'invention de se courber latéralement. Le segment de raccordement souple est constitué de tiges curvilinéaires (22, 23) qui forment une série de courbures (81) de serpentin qui répartissent les moments de flexion latéraux. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, une tige courte raccorde un segment longitudinal et le segment de raccordement adjacent. Chaque tige de raccordement se fixe au segment longitudinal, dans une région (27) située au niveau de l'extrémité (17) d'une tige longitudinale (15) divisant deux alvéoles fermés adjacents.
