  • Patent number: 11912595
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a groundwater circulation well system with pressure-adjustable hydrodynamic cavitation, including a circulation well body, a sucked and injected water circulation assembly and a hydrodynamic cavitator. The sucked and injected water circulation assembly is based on a water suction and injection pump. The hydrodynamic cavitator is provided, inside a vortex chamber, with a vortex water inlet column capable of changing a water passing aperture. The hydrodynamic cavitator is capable of changing a bubbling pressure and a breaking pressure of hydrodynamic cavitation bubbles in the vortex water inlet column. The hydrodynamic cavitator generates vortices in the circulation well body to accelerate uniform mixing of a remediation agent and the groundwater. Energy from collapsing and bursting of the hydrodynamic cavitation bubbles activates the remediation agent such that contaminants in the groundwater are efficiently degraded.

    Abstract: A microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition device for diamond synthesis. A microwave source generates a microwave signal, and a resonant cavity receives a plurality of process gases. The microwave signal is spread in a first mode at a first waveguide. A mode conversion antenna converts the first mode of the microwave signal into a second mode that is spread at a second waveguide. A coupling conversion cavity receives and transmits the microwave signal in the second mode to the mode conversion antenna thereby converting the second mode of the microwave signal into a third mode. A medium viewport receives the microwave signal in the third mode and transmits to the resonant cavity which enables the microwave signal to excite and discharge the process gases to form spherical plasma, carbon containing groups and atomic hydrogen thereby depositing a diamond film on a seed.
