  • Patent number: 7074364
    Abstract: Modular device and method for carrying out experiments in parallel on process substances to develop technical methods, comprising at least a multiplicity of individual reactors which are controllable independently of one another said reactors being comprised of pressure-tight chambers having separable sample vessels, and optionally, stirring devices, heating instruments, cooling instruments, or both, a monitoring unit for monitoring or controlling at least the pressure and the temperature in the individual reactors, pressure-tight lids having independent feed lines and optionally independent discharge lines for individual process substances; a plurality of the lids being simultaneously sealable upon the rectors by a common sealing means (11).

  • Publication number: 20040136843
    Abstract: Diaphragm pump with a multipart pump body, comprising at least three rigid plates and at least two elastic diaphragms arranged between said plates, the plates forming at least one pumping chamber and at least two shut-off chambers, and the pumping chamber and shut-off chambers forming, together with an inlet duct, connecting ducts and an outlet duct, a passage duct; the pumping chamber and the shut-off chambers being separated by the diaphragms in each case into a product space and a control space with an axially movable disc, with an extended rod attached on one side, inserted into said control space, so that the rod, attached on one side of the movable disc, projects outside the metering head and can be adjusted outside the pump to move the movable disc axially and reduce or increase the maximum possible diaphragm travel in the pumping chamber.

  • Publication number: 20030194332
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump with a multi-part pump body is described. The pump consists at least of three rigid plates (201, 203, 205) and at least two elastic diaphragms (204, 202) arranged between these plates (201, 203, 205), the plates (201, 203, 205) forming, in particular, a pumping chamber (211) and at least two shut-off chambers (210, 212), in each case with an inlet (240) and an outlet (241) orifice for the conveyable material, and the pumping chambers (211) and shut-off chambers (210, 212) forming, together with an inlet duct (207), the connecting ducts (208) and (209) and an outlet duct (206), a passage duct, the pumping chamber (211) and the shut-off chambers (210, 212) being separated by the diaphragms (204, 202) in each case into a product space (230, 231, 232) and a control space (220, 221, 222), and the control spaces (220, 221, 222) having control lines (119, 120, 121) which are connected to a control unit (100, 115).

  • Patent number: 6448385
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing metal complexes of polyvalent metal ions with azo compounds of formula (I) or tautomeric structures, in which R and R′ are —OH, —NH2, —NH—CN, aryl-amino, acylamino, or p-chlorophenyl, and R1 and R1′ are independently —OH or —NH2, that intercalate an intercalate by (1) stirring an aqueous dispersion of an alkali metal salt of the azo compound with the polyvalent metal salt at 10 to 35° C., (2) admixing an aqueous solution, dispersion, or emulsion of the intercalate, (3) passing the mixture through a reaction zone at 85 to 140° C., while regulating the pH so that the product dispersion leaving the reaction zone has a pH of 0.5 to 3, (4) adjusting the pH of the mixture to at least pH 5, and (5) isolating the intercalated metal complex.
