Patent number: 8591825Abstract: An extraction apparatus capable of continuously and efficiently extracting a biological substance is provided. Multiple rotation discs are utilized in the extraction apparatus to significantly improve the efficiency of extracting the biological substance by using an extraction solvent. Specifically, when the extraction solvent is applied to extract lipids from microalgae, retention time of the microalgae in the extraction solvent can be significantly increased, and solubility of the microalgal lipids in the extraction solvent can be improved. Hence, the efficiency of extracting the lipids from the microalgae by using the extraction solvent can be enhanced. On the other hand, owing to the improvement of the efficiency of extracting the lipids from the microalgae, the amount of the extraction solvent can be reduced, and production costs can be reduced as well.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chen-Hsi Cheng, Chung-Cheng Han, Tz-Bang Du, Yun-Huin Lin, Hom-Ti Lee

Publication number: 20080286857Abstract: The invention provides a multi-functional polymer-entrapped-cell-bead airlift bioreactor for odor or gaseous emission treatment. Especially, it refers to a reactor that mainly treats a low-and-medium gas flow rate and concentration of volatile organic emission or odorous substances. Particularly, it utilizes synthetic material (PAA beads) and microbial entrapment technology as the microbial source and startup mechanism for gaseous emission and odor treatment. Besides, plastic decomposing Thiosphaera pantotropha can be added under certain condition to be triggered to breakdown the synthetic material (PAA beads) to prevent wastes. This will achieve benefits in low cost, high efficiency and zero secondary pollution.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventors: Sz-Chwun John Hwang, Hsin-Hua Chen, Kuo Shu Huang, Jyuhr Yih Lyuu, Yun-Huin Lin, Cheng-Ting Hou
