Abstract: In a fossil fuel waste incineration or plasma gasification process, waste heat generated by combustion of waste is captured by a heat transfer fluid and conveyed to an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for energy recovery. In the case of a fossil fuel-fired waste incineration system, the heat transfer fluid captures waste heat from a double-walled combustion chamber, a heat exchanger being used to cool the hot process exhaust (gas cooler). In the case of a plasma waste gasification system, the heat transfer fluid captures waste heat from a plasma torch, a gasification chamber and combustion chamber cooling jackets as well as any other high-temperature components requiring cooling, and then a heat exchanger used to cool the hot process exhaust (gas cooler). The heat exchanger may take on several configurations, including plate or shell and tube configurations.

Abstract: The present application relates to nanopourous material. More specifically, the present application relates to nanoporous carbonaceous material for water adsorption, process for their preparation and uses thereof. The present application includes a nanoporous carbonaceous material comprising at least one pyrolyzed an organic compound-formaldehyde resin, which may be further functionalized.

Abstract: Methods for producing coatings on substrates are provided. These methods comprise the steps of introducing the substrate in a photo-initiated chemical vapor deposition reactor, introducing a gas precursor in the reactor, irradiating said gas precursor with UV radiation at a given wavelength, thereby at least partly photodissociating the gas precursor, until the coating is formed. In one method, the gas precursor is a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In another method, the pressure in the react or is between about 0.75 and 1.25 atm and the gas precursor has an absorption cross section of about 5×10?16 cm2/molecule or less at said given wavelength. In another aspect, the substrate is ash.
