Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to two improved catalysts and associated processes that directly convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen to liquid fuels. A catalytic system comprises two catalysts in series that are operated in tandem to directly produce synthetic liquid fuels. The carbon conversion efficiency for CO2 to liquid fuels is greater than 45%. The fuel is distilled into a premium diesel fuels (approximately 70 volume %) and naphtha (approximately 30 volume %) which are used directly as “drop-in” fuels without requiring any further processing. Any light hydrocarbons that are present with the carbon dioxide are also converted directly to fuels. This process is directly applicable to the conversion of CO2 collected from ethanol plants, cement plants, power plants, biogas, carbon dioxide/hydrocarbon mixtures from secondary oil recovery, and other carbon dioxide/hydrocarbon streams.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to solutions to maximize the recovery of ethylene, propylene and aromatics rich naphtha from crude oil processing.

Abstract: A method of uterine hemostasis involves inserting a suction line of a postpartum hemorrhage mitigation device through a cesarian incision into the uterine cavity, guiding the suction line through the cervix and into the vagina, positioning an anchoring mechanism of the device adjacent the internal cervical OS of the uterine cavity, closing the cesarian incision to enclose the suction line within the uterine cavity, and connecting the suction line to a negative pressure source that introduces negative pressure to the uterine cavity via the suction line, thereby causing contraction of the uterus and evacuation of fluid from the uterus via the suction line extension. Upon completion of a treatment period, the negative pressure source is disconnected, and the suction line and anchoring mechanism are extracted from the uterus through the cervical canal and the vagina.
