Abstract: A system and a process for co-producing dimethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol. The system comprises an interconnected ethylene carbonate preparation unit and an ethylene carbonate alcoholysis unit. The ethylene carbonate preparation unit comprises a fixed bed reactor and a light-component stripping column connected to each other. The fixed bed reactor is filled with a supported ionic liquid catalyst. The process comprises the steps of: reacting carbon dioxide and ethylene oxide as raw materials in the fixed bed reactor to produce ethylene carbonate, purifying the ethylene carbonate and then mixing it with an alcoholysis reaction catalyst, and reacting the mixture with methanol in a reactive distillation tower, producing dimethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol. The process increases the conversion rate of ethylene oxide and avoids the need for a process of separating conventional homogeneous catalysts from ethylene carbonate, thereby reducing process energy consumption and simplifying process procedures.

Abstract: An active filter reduces Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) created by current flowing through a power line. The active filter connects to the power line at a single node through a connection capacitor. A sense current flows through the connection capacitor when the power line current changes. This sense current is applied to a non-inverting input of an op amp to drive a power amplifier circuit through a filter capacitor. The power amplifier circuit increases the current drive of the op amp to charge a transfer capacitor that converts the power amplifier output current to a transfer voltage. The transfer capacitor is connected to the connection capacitor so that the transfer voltage is injected back into the power line through the connection capacitor as an injected voltage that compensates for the sensed current. Op amp gain is adjustable by variable resistors that connect to the inverting input of the op amp.

Abstract: The invention describes the construction of more or less thin house walls, of which the load-bearing panels are stabilized in such a way that they have an insulating middle layer, the middle layer containing carbon, which is brought in as insulation material by means of suitable binders such as cement, geopolymers, resins or foams or glass. In particular, biochar mortars and biochar foams are used, which with the help of fiber reinforcement of the outer stone slices become self-supporting wall and facade elements, which are able to store more carbon than what is produced in the form of CO2, escaping into the atmosphere. Fiber-stabilized stone disks with an insulating middle layer based on pyrogenic or otherwise manufactured or extracted carbon are constructed symmetrically and dimensioned in such a way that they can absorb loads and buckling forces with a comparatively very low weight.
