  • Patent number: 12281845
    Abstract: A method of producing LNG. According to the method, a natural gas stream is compressed using first and second compressors. A cooler cools the natural gas stream so that the second compressor produces a cooled, compressed natural gas stream, which is liquefied in a liquefaction process. The liquefaction process uses a refrigerant compressor configured to compress a stream of refrigerant used to chill, condense, or liquefy the cooled, compressed natural gas stream. Using a heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) system, heat is recovered from a power source of the refrigerant compressor. A stream of pressurized steam is generated from the recovered heat. At least one of the first and second compressors is powered using at least part of the stream of pressurized steam.

  • Publication number: 20250066264
    Abstract: A preparation method comprises: preparing a green body using green body powder; applying an overglaze on the surface of the green body; ink-jet printing a pattern on the surface of green body; applying a protective glaze on the surface of the green body; applying an anti-counterfeiting material on the surface of the green body; firing the green body, titanite and high-refractive-index oxide being wetted and wrapped by a molten liquid produced by melting a low-temperature glaze powder in a firing environment, and sunken into the protective glaze without generating opacification; and then polishing to obtain a ceramic plate having an anti-counterfeiting visual effect. The anti-counterfeiting visual effect is a visual effect in which a high-intensity refraction effect is achieved when the sight line direction is consistent with the path of reflected light, but no refraction effect is achieved when the sight line direction deviates from the path.

  • Publication number: 20250032555
    Abstract: An application method of Prevotella copri includes: applying the Prevotella copri in preventing and treating the ADHD. The Prevotella copri is applied in an effective therapeutic amount to achieve treating the ADHD, and a strain number of the Prevotella copri is JCM 13464=DSM 18205. It is indicated through animal experiments that the Prevotella copri can significantly improve hyperactive behavior, spontaneous activity levels and impulsive behavior hyperactivity. A further experimental exploration finds that the Prevotella copri can significantly increase levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone and cortisol in serum, improve neuroendocrine system dysfunction, and significantly increase gene expressions of glucocorticoid receptor (Nr3c1) and mineralocorticoid receptor (Nr3c2), thereby alleviating ADHD social dysfunction, which provides a theoretical basis for application prospects of probiotics in alleviating the ADHD.

  • Patent number: 12050056
    Abstract: A method for liquefying a feed gas stream. A refrigerant stream is cooled and expanded to produce an expanded, cooled refrigerant stream. Part or all of the expanded, cooled refrigerant stream is mixed with a make-up refrigerant stream in a separator, thereby condensing heavy hydrocarbon components from the make-up refrigerant stream and forming a gaseous expanded, cooled refrigerant stream. The gaseous expanded, cooled refrigerant stream passes through a heat exchanger zone to form a warm refrigerant stream. The feed gas stream is passed through the heat exchanger zone to cool at least part of the feed gas stream by indirect heat exchange with the expanded, cooled refrigerant stream, thereby forming a liquefied gas stream. The warm refrigerant stream is compressed to produce the compressed refrigerant stream.

  • Patent number: 12050054
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a natural gas stream. Heavy hydrocarbons are removed from the natural gas stream in a separator to generate a bottom stream and a separated natural gas stream, which is used as a coolant in a heat exchanger to generate a pretreated natural gas stream. The pretreated natural gas stream is compressed and cooled to form a chilled pretreated natural gas stream, part of which forms a recycle stream to exchange heat with the separated natural gas stream in the heat exchanger, thereby generating a cooled recycle stream. The temperature and pressure of the cooled recycle stream are reduced. The cooled recycle stream is then separated into an overhead stream and a reflux stream, which is directed to the separator. The chilled pretreated gas stream is liquefied to form LNG.

  • Publication number: 20240228381
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ceramic slate with a colored jade effect and a preparation method comprising: pressing and forming raw materials containing a ceramic base material and colored glass fragments to obtain a ceramic green body; drying and firing the ceramic green body to give a ceramic slate with colored jade effect particles dispersed on the surface of the green body; wherein, the colored glass fragments account for 3 wt % to 5 wt % of the ceramic base material. Since colored glass waste instead of frits and pigments is used to prepare the ceramic slate with the colored jade effect, the ceramic slate does not have the phenomenon of pigment dispersion after high-temperature firing, and the surface of the fired ceramic slate shows a shape of micro-protrusion, so that the polished tile surface is smoother and free from pits, resulting in a better tile surface effect.

  • Publication number: 20240182373
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an antibacterial ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises applying an antibacterial protective glaze containing Ulan tea-quartz on the surface of a green body, and then firing to obtain an antibacterial ceramic tile. The mass percentage of Ulan tea-quartz to the antibacterial protective glaze is 35% to 45%. Controlling the mass percentage content of Ulan tea-quartz to the antibacterial protective glaze within the aforementioned range not only can achieve an excellent antibacterial property, but also avoids excessive glossiness, rough texture, or poor flatness of the ceramic glaze surface.
