  • Publication number: 20240132924
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for two-phase partitioning production of a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) by dry anaerobic digestion. In the present disclosure, due to a slow heat transfer of the dry anaerobic digestion, a same dry anaerobic digestion device is naturally divided into two phases, and the MCFA is synthesized while producing electron acceptors and electron donors in the same dry anaerobic digestion device. Meanwhile, the dry anaerobic digestion device is provided with a high-efficiency decomposing microbial inoculant on an upper part and inoculated with sludge having a carbon chain extension function on a lower part. In this way, a material residence time is regulated, and cycles of hydrolytic acidification and carbon chain extension are shortened, thereby achieving the high-value conversion of agricultural waste while increasing a conversion rate of organic acids in the dry anaerobic digestion.

  • Patent number: 10025205
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting focal plane based on a grating Talbot effect, the function of which is to detect position of a silicon wafer in a photolithography machine in real time so as to implement an adjustment of leveling and foal plane of the silicon wafer in a high resolution. The detection system utilizes a phase change of “self-image” generated by a grating Talbot effect caused by defocusing of the silicon wafer, so as to accomplish the detecting for focal plane of the silicon wafer in the photolithography machine in a high resolution: if the silicon wafer is at a focal plane, the imaged wavefront by the grating is a planar wavefront; and when the silicon wafer is defocused, the imaged wavefront is a spherical wavefront. Such a detection system has a simple structure, a higher anti-interference capability and a perfect adaption of the process.
