  • Device for measuring the streaming potential of fibers and particles in suspensions
    Patent number: 8089263
    Abstract: A device for measuring the streaming potential of fibers and particles in suspensions, in particular a device for determining the zeta-potential of the particles of aqueous suspensions containing fibers and particles, by measuring the streaming potential, and by subsequently computing the zeta-potential with an empirical formula. A periodic pressure curve is generated by arranging in the device for measuring the streaming potential at least two vacuum vessels, with each vessel having a different constant reduced pressure. The vacuum vessels are permanently set to a different vacuum and alternatingly connected via a valve to the measurement cell with the fiber plug. The required reduced pressure in the two vacuum vessels is maintained by using at least one small, low-capacity vacuum pump and a valve controller.

  • Process for recovering carbon dioxide
    Patent number: 8080232
    Abstract: In a process for obtaining CO2, desulfurized natural gas or gas which accompanies mineral oil is reformed autothermally with addition of oxygenous gas at a temperature of from 900 to 1200° C. and a pressure of from 40 to 100 bar (a) by partial catalytic oxidation to give a crude synthesis gas, and then converted catalytically to H2 and CO2 at a temperature of from 75 to 110 DEG C. and a pressure of from 50 to 75 bar (a) of CO, CO2 is scrubbed out of the synthesis gas obtained with methanol at a pressure of from 15 to 100 bar (a) and a temperature of from +10 to ?80° C., and the absorbed CO2 is recovered by decompression. A further possible use of the process consists in converting the recovered CO2 to the supercritical state.
