  • Publication number: 20230016539
    Abstract: A system for the treatment of a liquid plastic-derived oil having a pretreating section that includes a pretreating system having one or more reactors that may receive the liquid plastic-derived oil having one or more contaminants and a first contamination level. The one or more reactors includes a sorbent material having a faujasite (FAU) crystal framework type zeolitic molecular sieve and that may remove a first portion of the one or more contaminants from the liquid plastic-derived oil and generate a treated liquid plastic-derived oil having a second contamination level that is less than the first contamination level. The liquid plastic-derived oil is derived from a solid plastic waste (SPW), and the first portion of the one or more contaminants includes a halogen.

  • Patent number: 10576931
    Abstract: A sensor-controlled key system for a motor vehicle for releasing an access authorization and for actuating auxiliary functions includes a control device having an electronic key device. The key system further includes at least one optical sensor device with at least one optical sensor element. The optical sensor element has a beam path that defines at least two observation regions B1, B2, Bn. The control device has a switching function that switches observation regions B1, B2, Bn on and off in dependence on a verified or non-verified access authorization.
