  • MICRO REFINERY FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20090311772
    Abstract: A micro refinery system includes a fermentation tank, a distillation tube and a membrane ethanol separation mechanism. A batch that includes sugar, yeast and water is mixed in the fermentation tank. Sensors detect the physical characteristics of the batch and the operating status of the system. The sensors are coupled to a control system that compares the detected processing information to a look up table to determine if the system is operating under optimum ethanol productivity conditions. If the sensors detect a problem with the batch, the control system can add chemical components to the batch to correct the chemical imbalance. The system can also facilitate remote operations by transmitting sensed information to an operator computer and receiving control commands from the operator computer.

  • Atomic layer deposition processes for the formation of ruthenium films, and ruthenium precursors useful in such processes
    Patent number: 7632351
    Abstract: This invention is directed to processes for the formation of ruthenium-containing films on surfaces in atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. The ALD process includes depositing a surface-activating group on the surface; exposing the deposit of the surface-activating complex to a ruthenium precursor to form a deposited ruthenium complex on the surface; and reacting the deposited ruthenium complex with a reducing agent to form a ruthenium-containing film on the surface. This invention is also directed to ruthenium complexes, RuL2L*, that can be used as ruthenium precursors in these processes.
