  • Patent number: 10639399
    Abstract: Provided is a use of one or more MicroRNA genes selected from miRNAs of Family Let-7, miR-21 or miR-222 in the construction of tissue engineered nerves and in the repair of peripheral nerve defects. An outer and/or internal surface or pores of a tissue engineered nerve graft are coated or adsorbed with polymeric nanomicrospheres carrying a Let-7 family miRNA inhibitor, miR-21, or miR-222, or a mimetic thereof, wherein the polymeric material is composed of biocompatible fibronectin and heparin. The regeneration of peripheral nerves and the construction of tissue engineered nerves are promoted by regulating the expression of MicroRNA genes which can effectively promote the proliferation of primary Schwann cells cultured in vitro and have an anti-apoptotic effect on neuronal cells. In-vivo test proves that bridging of the tissue engineered nerve graft can facilitate the regeneration of peripheral nerves, thus being useful in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury.

  • Patent number: 10144988
    Abstract: A rotation-suspension smelting method, in which a powdered sulfide concentrate and an oxygen-containing gas are sprayed into a high-temperature reaction tower. The oxygen-containing gas is divided into two parts: the second oxygen-containing gas is sprayed in the form of an annular direct flow into the reaction tower and forms a bell-shaped wind curtain; and the first oxygen-containing gas is transformed into a rotation-jet and jetted into the center of the wind curtain. In the space between the gas flows, the concentrate entering in a direction deviated towards the center is drawn in the rotation-jet, and a high-temperature off-gas is sucked in, forming a gas-particle mixed two-phase rotation-jet. The sulfide concentrate is ignited, at the same time, a melt containing matte (or metal) and slag is formed; and the matte (or metal) is separated from the slag at the bottom of the reaction tower, completing the metallurgical process.

  • Patent number: 10106868
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for extracting noble metals from anode slime, comprising: mixing sodium carbonate, quartz and coke powder and impurity-removed anode slime, and subjecting the mixture to smelting and converting to obtain alloys of noble metals. The present invention avoids problem of lead pollution by using metallic bismuth to collect noble metals; meanwhile, metallic bismuth has low melting point, high specific gravity, and formation heat of bismuth oxide of 45.6 kcal/g atomic oxygen, thus it is easy to be reduced and the reduction temperature is low, which are beneficial for saving energy consumption and reduction time; the much smaller amounts of copper, nickel, antimony and arsenic entering noble bismuth in a slightly reductive smelting atmosphere than those entering noble lead make the converting of noble bismuth become simple, thereby decreasing smelting time and increasing the direct recovery rate of noble metals in anode slime.

  • Patent number: 10041181
    Abstract: The invention discloses a parallel jet electrolytic process, wherein an electrolyte after being pressurized is jetted in parallel from a position at the bottom and near a surface of a cathode at a rate of 0.5-2.5 m/s into a gap between the cathode and an anode. During the production process, the pressurized electrolyte is jetted in parallel along the surface of the cathode, and the electrolyte flows from bottom to top at the cathode side and moves from top to bottom at the anode side simultaneously, which thus achieves a side cutting function on the cathode and the anode; and the side cutting flow of the electrolyte from top to bottom at the anode is able to greatly increase the settling rate of the anode slime and avoid its adhesion to the anode to form an anode slime layer. The invention also provides a parallel jet electrolytic device.

  • Publication number: 20180119250
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for smelting high-arsenic copper sulfide concentrate, which comprises the steps of: mixing the high-arsenic copper sulfide concentrate with quartz sand and CaO-containing material to obtain a mixed material; mixing the mixed material with oxygen-containing reactant gas and heating for reaction to obtain matte, slag and SO2-containing flue gas. By the addition of CaO and SiO2 in the smelting process, the concentrate material, the CaO and the SiO2 are allowed to react in the furnace under high temperature. The arsenic sulfides in the concentrate are oxidized first and then chemically react with slagging flux CaO to enter the slag phase in the form of calcium-based compounds of arsenic, iron arsenates and etc., thus reducing the arsenic content in the copper matte.
