Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a system of abating carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a geological reservoir. Water is pumped or transferred from a water source to an injection well. The gasses are merged with the water under conditions where the hydraulic pressure of the water is less than the pressure of CO2 and/or H2S gas at the merging point. The water with CO2 and/or H2S gas bubbles is transferred further downwardly at a certain velocity higher than the upward flow velocity of said CO2 and/or H2S gas bubbles ensuring downward movement of gas bubbles resulting in full dissolution of said CO2 and/or H2S in the water due to elevating pressure. The complete dissolution ensures a lowered pH of the water entering a geological (e.g.

Abstract: A method is proposed for vacuum-coating a substrate using a plasma-CVD method. In order to control ion bombardment during the vacuum coating, a substrate voltage, produced independently from a coating plasma, is applied to the substrate. The substrate voltage is modified during the coating. The substrate voltage is a direct voltage that is pulsed in bipolar fashion with a frequency of 0.1 kHz to 10 MHz. A wear-resistant and friction-reducing multilayer structure of alternating hard material individual layers and carbon or silicon individual layers is proposed.

Abstract: A method is for producing a functional coating, e.g., composite layers or metal alloys, on a substrate using at least one plasma jet source able to be operated in a fine vacuum up to an almost atmospheric pressure range. For this purpose, the plasma jet source produces a plasma, which emerges from the plasma jet source in the form of a plasma jet and acts on a substrate. In this context, at least two precursor materials, which are modified or fused in the plasma jet and subsequently deposited on the substrate, are introduced into the plasma.
