Abstract: An oil product of gasoline is fabricated. The product contains hydrocarbon compound ranged as a gasoline composition. The purification process of dimethyl ether (DME) used in the present invention greatly reduces the feed rate for obtaining a smaller reactor with cost down. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is separated to be recycled back to the gasifier to be reused, archived or used otherwise for improves global environment. At the same time, CO2 is reacted with hydrocarbons, water vapor, etc. through a novel high-temperature plasma torch to generate a synthesis gas (syngas) of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) for regulating a hydrogen/carbon ratio of a biomass- or hydrocarbon-synthesized compound and helping subsequent chemical synthesis reactions. In the end, the final gasoline production has a high yield, a high octane rate, low nitrogen and sulfur pollution and a highly ‘green’ quality.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making dimethyl ether by reactive distillation. The method provides a reactive distillation tower with a top, a bottom, and rectification, reaction and stripping zones defined therein. The top of the reactive distillation tower is retained at 25° C. to 40° C. while the bottom of the reactive distillation tower is retained at 84.6° C. to 170° C. Each of the rectification, reaction and stripping zones includes several sieving trays. The reaction zone of the reactive distillation tower is filled with catalyst. The pressure in the reactive distillation tower is lower than 8.0 bars. Methanol is introduced into the reactive distillation tower so that the methanol travels from the reaction zone toward the bottom for contact with the catalyst to provide a top stream and a bottom stream. The top stream includes dimethyl ether. The bottom stream includes water and a remaining portion of the methanol. Finally, the dimethyl ether is collected in the top of the reactive distillation tower.

Abstract: A fast heat transfer device is provided. The device dissipates heat and generates power at the same time. A liquid flow is used to absorb heat for forming a vapor gas flow; then, the gas flow drives a blade turbine and a power generator; and, finally, the gas flow is cooled down to become the original liquid flow for recycling. Thus, the present invention dissipates heat and generates power simultaneously with a minimized size and a reduced cost together with energy conservation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making a refractory material from aluminum residues of aluminum recycling. At first, the aluminum residues is mixed with adhesive solution so that the percentage by weight of the adhesive solution is 5 wt % to 10 wt %. The mixture is granulated into grains.

The green body is heated in a furnace at a range of temperature from 1100° C. to 1400° C. so that the grains are sintered and become a refractory material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a plasma torch device. The device comprises a front electrode, a back electrode and a vortex flow generator. The torch roots of the back electrode are moved by fixed magnets. By controlling the magnets coordinated with vortex air flow, the torch roots are moved back and forth periodically on inner surface of the back electrode. The torch roots do not stay at the same place for long for preventing increasing local heat burden of the electrode. Thus, life time and maintenance cycle of the electrode is prolonged with reduced operational cost of plasma torch and enhanced reliability of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for increasing the yield of a slurry bed reactor. The method provides a slurry bed reactor with a recycling unit or a replacing unit. An absorbing agent is fed into the slurry bed reactor. The absorbing agent is a substance that can react with at least one product of a primary reaction or at least one reactant of a side reaction. Then, the absorbing agent is transmitted into the recycling unit or the replacing unit. The recycling unit renews the absorbing agent and sends the renewed absorbing agent back into the slurry bed reactor for reuse. The replacing unit replaces the absorbing agent with new absorbing agent and sends the new absorbing agent into the slurry bed reactor for use.

Abstract: The present disclosure uses aluminum residues to fabricate artificial stones. The aluminum residues are obtained from a recycle process of aluminum scrap. The aluminum residues is made into dross and baghouse dust as raw materials for the artificial stones. The artificial stones thus made are improved in characteristics of mechanical strength, hardness, abrasion resistance, flame resistance and anti-oxidation. Hence, the present disclosure reduces impacts to the nature; obtains derived products from recycled aluminum residues; increases commercial income; decreases cost for handling aluminum residues; and saves the use of aluminum oxide, aluminium hydroxide or silicon oxide on making artificial stones. The artificial stones thus made are fit to be used in fields of green material, green construction and green industry.
