    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an angstrom silver injection for a cancer inhibition, a preparation method and an application. A composition of the angstrom silver injection includes: angstrom-level elementary substance silver powder with a concentration between 0.005 g/L and 0.500 g/L, medicinal anhydrous fructose with a concentration between 0.5 g/L and 1.0 g/L; sterile distilled water with a. concentration between 998.500 g/L and 999.495 g/L. Tumor cell membrane surface has higher negative charge, and the increase of the negative charge on the membrane surface relates to acid mucopolysaccharide, DNA, and side chain charge of protein, especially to the increase or exposure of sialic acid. Angstrom silver and silver ions have positive charge to combine with the protein and nucleic acid molecule with negative charge inside and outside cells for interfering with synthesis of the protein and replication and transcription of the DNA to destroy normal life activity of cancerous cells.

  • Patent number: 10370248
    Abstract: An improved hydrogen generation system and method for using the same are provided. The system includes an HDS unit configured to remove sulfur, a first and second pre-reformers configured to pre-reform a process gas and fuel gas, respectively, a first and second heat exchangers configured to dry and heat the pre-reformed fuel gas, respectively, and a reformer configured to produce a syngas and flue gas. The method includes using a process stream selected from the group consisting of air, PSA off-gas, hydrocarbon gas, and combinations thereof to dry the fuel gas and using a process stream selected from the group consisting of the flue gas, the syngas, and combinations thereof to heat the dry fuel gas. The second pre-reformer is a low-pressure pre-reformer, so that the heat contents of the fuel gas is increased through converting heavy hydrocarbons in the fuel gas to CO and H2 by the second pre-reformer.
