    Abstract: A system for imaging a substrate has a first substrate, designated as Medium A. Medium A is digitally imaged, such as by printing a color image formed with CMYK inks. Medium A also has a glue ink layer formed over the image layer, and may have a white ink layer positioned between the image layer, and the glue ink layer. Another substrate, designated as Medium B, has a non-substantial film forming polymeric coating formulated for lamination of the polymeric coating on Medium A. Medium B is laminated under pressure onto Medium A to form the polymeric coating on the imaged portions of Medium A. The image is then transferred under heat and pressure from Medium A to a final substrate upon which the image is to appear. The image layer is formed over the white ink layer as it appears on the final substrate.

  • Patent number: 12594543
    Abstract: In a method for acetylene hydrochlorination to vinyl chloride catalyzed by ultra-low content aurum-based material, a nitrogen-modified activated carbon support is obtained by using 1,10-phenanthroline as a modifier. A trace amount of aurum is used as a main active component and an organic solvent with a low polarity and a low boiling point, isopropanol, is used as a solvent. An ultra-low content of aurum-based catalyst with the aurum loading amount of 0.01 wt % using the above nitrogen-modified activated carbon as a support is prepared by improving the synthesis procedure, and the efficiency of the catalyst is significantly improved. The catalyst has high activity and vinyl chloride selectivity for acetylene hydrochlorination to vinyl chloride, which is low cost, no mercury pollution, simple in preparation process and expansibility, and has great industrial application value.

  • Publication number: 20260078543
    Abstract: A drying module and a washing and drying integrated machine. A wet circulating air flow from a drum is conveyed by means of a circulation module to a dehumidification module for drying, and the dehumidification module adsorbs moisture from the wet circulating air flow from the drum, such that a dry circulating air flow is outputted to the drum. A regeneration module enables a dry regenerated air flow to be outputted to the dehumidification module so that at least a part of the dehumidification module desorbs moisture and regains a moisture adsorption capacity. A condensation module is used for condensing the regenerated air flow, which is outputted by the regeneration module, so as to form a low-temperature dry regenerated air flow. Condensate water formed during condensation is discharged. The dehumidification module, the circulation module and the condensation module are modules independent of each other.
