  • Process for the treatment of contaminated water by means of a bifunctional system consisting of iron and zeolites
    Patent number: 7658853
    Abstract: A process is described for the treatment of water contaminated by metals with a high oxidation degree, aliphatic compounds, aromatic compounds, halogen-aromatic compounds, chlorinated alkane and alkene compounds or mixtures thereof, which consists in circulating the contaminated water through a reactive system consisting of metallic iron and a zeolite having a silica/alumina ratio >50, placed in succession, wherein the first element through which the water passes is iron.
    Type: Grant

  • PROCESS BASED ON THE USE OF ZEOLITES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED WATER
    Publication number: 20090159530
    Abstract: A process is described for the treatment of water contaminated by apolar compounds consisting of halogenated solvents, aliphatic compounds, aromatic compounds or their mixtures which consists in treating the water with one or more apolar zeolites characterized by a silica/alumina ration >50 and by the presence of structural channels having dimensions similar to those of the molecules of the contaminating compounds.

  • Vehicular latch and lift assembly and controls for operating same
    Publication number: 20040093919
    Abstract: A latch assembly (100) releases a closure structure (12) of a motor vehicle (10). The latch assembly includes a latch housing (37). A latch (28) for releasing the closure structure (12), allowing the closure structure to move toward an open position, is housed within the latch housing. A voltage regulator (46) is electrically connected to the latch (28) and provides power to the latch (28). Also, the latch assembly includes a microprocessor (44) that is electrically connected to the voltage regulator (46) to receive the power supplied by the voltage regulator, wherein the microprocessor (44) and the voltage regulator (46) are housed within the latch housing (37).
