  • Patent number: 11891572
    Abstract: A method for producing a pyrolysis oil is described. In said method, a feedstock to be treated is first pyrolyzed in a pyrolysis zone, in which the feedstock is heated to a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius to 700 degrees Celsius; and pyrolyzed solids and pyrolysis vapors are formed. The pyrolysis vapors are then reformed at a temperature of 450 degrees Celsius to 1,200 degrees Celsius in a post-conditioning zone, in which the pyrolysis vapors are brought into contact with a catalyst bed, wherein the pyrolysis oil is formed. In this case, the catalyst comprises a pyrolyzed solid, which can be obtained according to the pyrolysis, described above. Finally the pyrolysis oil is separated from the additional pyrolysis products, which are formed, in a separation unit.

  • Publication number: 20230271337
    Abstract: A gripper for the transportation of an ophthalmic lens comprises: a gripper shaft having a longitudinal shaft axis and a fluid channel extending through the gripper shaft; a connector at the proximal end of the gripper shaft for connecting a flexible supply tube and the proximal end of the gripper shaft; a support movably accommodating the gripper shaft; a spring mounted between the support and the gripper shaft, the spring biasing the gripper shaft distally away from the support; and a gripper head attached to the gripper shaft at a distal end portion thereof, the gripper head having a further fluid channel extending therethrough, the gripper head further having a suction opening which is centrally arranged in a distal end surface of the gripper head, the suction opening being in fluid communication with the fluid channel of the gripper shaft through further fluid channel. The gripper head is configured to be pivotable about a pivot portion of the gripper head.
