Publication number: 20220194787Abstract: A chemical looping process for the production of hydrogen and the co-production of carbon dioxide comprising: a first redox loop that comprises: feeding of a first solid oxygen carrier to a first reaction zone (R1) in which a first carbonaceous fuel is also fed, which reacts with the first solid oxygen carrier fed at its maximum oxidising state (fully-oxidised form), leading to the formation of the combustion products carbon dioxide and water and the solid oxygen carrier at a lower oxidising state (reduced form); and feeding of the first solid oxygen carrier in reduced form to a second reaction zone (R2) into which air is also fed, obtaining, from the oxidation of the first solid oxygen carrier, heat and the solid oxygen carrier in fully-oxidised form to be recycled to the first reaction zone (R1); and a second redox loop that comprises: feeding of a second solid oxygen carrier to a third reaction zone (R3) in which a second carbonaceous fuel is also fed, which reacts with the second solid oxygen carrier fedType: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Kok-Seng LIM, Trevor Deon HADLEY, Doki YAMAGUCHI, Liangguang TANG, José ORELLANA

Patent number: 10899777Abstract: A method of separating a metal organic framework (MOF) from a solution and associated apparatus. The method comprises: providing a MOF containing solution; contacting the MOF containing solution with an acoustic reflector surface such that, any high frequency ultrasound applied within the MOF containing solution reflects off the acoustic reflector surface; and applying a high frequency ultrasound of at least 20 kHz to the MOF containing solution. The MOF material is substantially separated from solution as aggregated sediment that settles out of solution.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Inventors: Marta Rubio Martinez, Pablo Juliano, Thomas Leong, Matthew Roland Hill, Kok Seng Lim

Patent number: 8967492Abstract: A droplet generation system includes a first nozzle configuration structured to receive a liquid and a gas under pressure in a controllable feed ratio, and to merge the liquid and gas to form an intermediate stream that is a mixture of the gas and of a dispersed phase of the liquid. A second nozzle configuration is connected to receive the intermediate stream from the first nozzle configuration and has a valve mechanism with one or more controllable operating parameters to emit a stream of droplets of the liquid. The mean size of the droplets is dependent on the controllable feed ratio of the liquid and gas and the flow rate of the stream of droplets is dependent on the controllable operating parameter(s) of the valve mechanism. A corresponding method is disclosed, as is the application of the system and method to the production of nanoparticles in a thermochemical reactor.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Jonian Nikolov, Kok Seng Lim, Han Kwon Chang, Hee Dong Jang

Patent number: 6446156Abstract: A disc drive production process automatically configures the disc drive to a suitable capacity based upon the data transfer capability of each of the head/disc surface combinations in the drive. The error rate of each of the head/disc surface combinations is determined as a function of the bit density of the disc surface. Based on the data transfer capability of the head/disc surface combinations, one of three drive configuration schemes is selected. A variable BPI (bits per inch) scheme reduces the data rate of a weak head/disc surface combination while increasing the data rate of a strong head/disc surface combination. If the drive contains one very weak head/disc surface combination, a head depopulation scheme disables the very weak head. If the drive contains two or more very weak heads, a de-frequency scheme reduces the overall capacity of the drive.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1999Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Kok Hoe Chia, Teck Khoon Lim, Beng Wee Quak, Kok Seng Lim, Song Wee Teo
