  • Patent number: 7867318
    Abstract: Process of treating filter dust (3) of the type produced in aluminium recycling processes in a recycling system for recycling the metal (1) of salt slag recycling (2), including at least a pyrolysis step (31) in which the filter dust (30) enter a rotating auger where it is heated to a temperature of not less than 500° C. and not more than 600° C.; and in which the organic and toxic substances breakdown in this heating and part of the carbon and other combustibles burn in the controlled presence of air, this air being mixed with the dust by the movement of the rotating auger (310); in which organic materials are oxidized due to the oxygen provided; and in which the solid result of the pyrolysis step (31) is added to the general salt slag recycling process (2).

  • Publication number: 20080141829
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of treating filter powders (3) of the type produced in aluminum recycling processes in a recycling system for recycling the metal (1) of saline slag recycling (2), comprising at least a pyrolysis step (31) in which the filter powders (30) enter a rotating auger where they are heated to a temperature of not less than 500° C. and not more than 600° C.; and in which the organic and toxic substances breakdown in this heating and part of the carbon and other combustibles burn in the controlled presence of air, this air being mixed with the powder by the movement of the rotating auger; in which organic materials are oxidized due to the oxygen provided; and in which the solid result of the pyrolysis step (31) is added to the general saline slag recycling process (2).

  • Publication number: 20060287191
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of preparing a rheology product from a pseudomlaminar silicate comprising microfibre bundles. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: grinding the pseudolaminar silicate mineral which is selected from sepiolite mineral, attapulgite mineral and combinations of same, with a pseudolaminar silicate concentration of at least 50%, moisture of less than 40% and a particle size of less than 1 mm; mixing the ground pseudolaminar silicate mineral with an aqueous solution of a dispersing component comprising at least one dispersing agent, in order to obtain a first mixture comprising between 35% and 85% water and between 0.1% and 7% dispersant in relation to the weight of the pseudolaminar silicate mineral; and intensively mixing the first mixture obtained in the second step until the dispersion of the pseudolaminar silicate microfibre bundles in order to obtain the rheology product in a dispersion homogeneously mixed with the dispersant and the water.

  • Publication number: 20060133699
    Abstract: Designs for cognitive memory systems storing input data, images, or patterns, and retrieving it without knowledge of where stored when cognitive memory is prompted by query pattern that is related to sought stored pattern. Retrieval system of cognitive memory uses autoassociative neural networks and techniques for pre-processing query pattern to establish relationship between query pattern and sought stored pattern, to locate sought pattern, and to retrieve it and ancillary data.

  • Publication number: 20050238580
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use in humans of a method which is based on the use of 4-galactosyl-xylose and which involves an alternative technique to evaluate xylose in urine. The method consists of measuring the concentration of xylose in the blood following the oral administration of 4-galactosyl-xylose to the patient, the use of said method being even more suitable in the case of newborns. The invention also relates to the technology used for the in vivo evaluation of intestinal lactase activity, by way of a non-invasive test for the diagnosis of a deficiency of said enzyme, which consists of directly evaluating the overall activity of the enzyme in the individual and not in assessing the consequences of said deficiency. The inventive method does not require specialized equipment, does not cause any obvious discomfort to patients with a lactase deficiency and is extremely reliable, thereby eliminating the inconveniences of currently used diagnostic tests.
