  • Fiber-containing particles with dual-tapered shape
    Patent number: 11951656
    Abstract: Recycled carbon fibers are processed by rotational tumbling in a mixture with binder material to prepare fiber-containing particles having a dual-tapered shape and general alignment of fibers with a longitudinal direction of the particles. Bulk products including such fiber-containing particles are compounded with polymer and pelletized to prepare fiber-reinforced composite pellets, which are useful for applications such as injection molding to prepare molded products of carbon fiber-reinforced composite material with recycled carbon fibers.

  • Reciprocating biological contactor and method of use
    Patent number: 7544287
    Abstract: A bioreactor vessel has a biological support provided within the vessel to support bacteria and a drive system for agitating the biological support while it is it is immersed in the reaction liquor that is to be treated within the vessel. The drive system causes the biological support to oscillate with a reciprocating or rectilinear motion and the drive system is preferably located either outside the vessel or within a portion of the vessel that is above the level of reaction liquor present therein.
