  • System and method for the manufacture of hydrogen cyanide and acrylonitrile with simultaneous recovery of hydrogen
    Publication number: 20070056841
    Abstract: A system and method for the manufacture of hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile, and acetonitrile are provided. The system comprises at least one pulsed corona discharge reactor with each pulsed corona discharge reactor having a reaction zone. At least one reactant feed stream containing hydrogen is introduced into the pulsed corona discharge reactor and contacting the catalyst wherein hydrogen is removed from the reactant to form hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile, and acetonitrile.

  • Device and method for the measurement of gas permeability through membranes
    Patent number: 7088106
    Abstract: A device for the measuring membrane permeability in electrical/electrochemical/photo-electrochemical fields is provided. The device is a permeation cell and a tube mounted within the cell. An electrode is mounted at one end of the tube. A membrane is mounted within the cell wherein a corona is discharged from the electrode in a general direction toward the membrane thereby generating heated hydrogen atoms adjacent the membrane. A method for measuring the effects of temperature and pressure on membrane permeability and selectivity is also provided.
