Patent number: 8848311Abstract: An article and method for degrading volatile organic compounds in an electronic enclosure is disclosed. The method comprises providing a substrate, such as a scrim material, and applying a catalyst to the substrate. The catalyst typically includes a base metal. The substrate and catalyst material are placed into a disk drive (or other electronic) enclosure where they help in degradation of organic compounds, in particular volatile organic compounds. In certain implementations the base metal is selected from the group of manganese, vanadium, nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, iron, or combinations thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2011Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventor: Stanley B.

Patent number: 5698011Abstract: A process for separating the components of a gas mixture, including a sterilant gas and a diluent gas is disclosed. The gas mixture is fed to a membrane separation unit within which a perm-selective membrane is located which allows migration of diluent gas and sterilant gas at different rates. Both sterilant-rich and diluent-rich gas streams are withdrawn from the membrane separation unit and optionally recovered or further processed to a less hazardous compound. The process may be utilized to separate and treat the constituents of the exhaust gases from a chemical sterilization process of which the common components are olefin oxides such as ethylene oxide as a sterilant and chlorofluorocarbons (freon) such as dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-1) as a diluent.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1992Date of Patent: December 16, 1997Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Hoo Young Chung, Stanley B.
