  • Patent number: 12061045
    Abstract: In a process for starting up an air separation unit, which is at a temperature of above 0° C., the air separation unit comprising a main air compressor for compressing the feed air, a booster driven by a turbine and a venting conduit connected downstream of the booster and upstream of the main heat exchanger wherein in order to start up the air separation unit, once the turbine is operating at said given speed, the venting conduit is opened to send at least part of the air compressed in the booster from the booster outlet to the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 11988446
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing high-purity nitrogen and low-purity oxygen using three-column rectification are provided, in which: nitrogen and oxygen undergo rectification in different columns, with high-purity nitrogen and low-purity oxygen being separated out of air simultaneously, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of conventional low-purity oxygen production equipment, and also reducing equipment investment, lowering energy consumption, increasing product added value, and realizing a circular economy effect.

  • Patent number: 11709018
    Abstract: A cryogenic air separation setup in a cold box, wherein gaseous oxygen under elevated pressure is produced through hydraulic force caused by the geodetic distance between where liquid oxygen is drawn from the distillation column and where liquid oxygen is vaporized to form gaseous oxygen, such as in an auxiliary evaporator. To increase the vertical distance between the above-mentioned two location, the components are arranged directly below one another in the following sequence: the lower-pressure column, the main condenser evaporator, the higher-pressure column, the subcooler, the main heat exchanger and the auxiliary evaporator). In particular, the main heat-exchanger is positioned with the cold-end on the top to optimize piping expenditure.

  • Publication number: 20220120725
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aflatoxin contamination risk warning molecule and use thereof. The steps are as follows: weighing a quantitative sample, extracting the aflatoxin contamination risk warning molecule to obtain a sample extract, and detecting and analyzing the sample extract to obtain a quantitative result of the aflatoxin contamination risk warning molecule; performing modeling with a chemometrics method using the content of one or more of the aflatoxin contamination risk warning molecules as a variable to obtain a classification prediction model, and performing risk assessment on aflatoxin contamination risk of the sample based on the classification prediction model, wherein a warning molecule of an aflatoxin toxigenic strain is one or a combination of more than one of versiconol (VOH), versicolorin B (Ver B), and 5-methoxysterigmatocystin (5-MST).

  • Patent number: 11098278
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of chemical analysis and detection, and specifically relates to a pretreatment method for LC-MS detecting metabolomics of Aspergillus flavus. The method includes: culturing a strain of Aspergillus flavus; quenching the Aspergillus flavus; disrupting the cell membrane of Aspergillus flavus, and extracting a metabolome. The invention adopts a cold glycerol buffer solution combined with a rapid filtration method for quenching, and a MeOH/DCM/ACN/EA/HCOOH mixture is used as an metabolome extract, thereby achieving the object of efficiently extracting different polar compounds, and metabolome compound coverage is high; pretreatment of the cell metabolomics of Aspergillus flavus by the method of the invention can ensure the repeatability and stability of the metabolomics analysis method and reduce the false positive of the test results.
