  • Publication number: 20200095139
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling pH of wastewater being treated by electro-oxidation in an electrochemical cell containing boron doped diamond electrodes. The method comprises allowing and adjusting pH of electrolytes to vary within a defined pH range about a target pH setpoint at a required rate, wherein the pH setpoint, the defined pH range and rate of pH variation is optimized to maximize rate of pollutant destruction in the wastewater.

  • Patent number: 5707578
    Abstract: A method for preparing plastic injection mold inserts capable of forming a three-dimensional article in a plastic injection molding process. The method includes (a) forming a master mold insert having a recess therein which has a shape which is complementary to at least a portion of the shape of the three-dimensional article; (b) preparing a temporary reverse mold of the master mold insert; (c) positioning a metal gate in the reverse mold adjacent to and in contact with the article form; (d) introducing a hardenable plastic resin into the reverse mold; (e) allowing the resin to harden to form a mold insert; and (f) removing the mold insert from the reverse mold.
