  • Coupling transfer system
    Patent number: 10115619
    Abstract: A transfer box has a sealing structure hermetically sealable by means of tight coupling of a transfer box body and a transfer box door. The transfer box is structured in such a way that magnets on the transfer box body face magnetic bodies on the transfer box door when the transfer box door is closed on the transfer box body, with these magnets and magnetic bodies forming a magnetic closed circuit.

  • Bimetallic catalysts for COhydrogenation and Hgeneration from formic acid and/or salts thereof
    Patent number: 9095846
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ligand that may be used to create a catalyst including a coordination complex is formed by the addition of two metals; Cp, Cp* or an unsubstituted or substituted ?-arene; and two coordinating solvent species or solvent molecules. The bimetallic catalyst may be used in the hydrogenation of CO2 to form formic acid and/or salts thereof, and in the dehydrogenation of formic acid and/or salts thereof to form H2 and CO2.
