Publication number: 20240132407Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2021Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Yijun LIU, Yuandong YANG, Qiuli HUANG, Kelin ZHANG

Patent number: 11806639Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing liquefied natural gas. A portion of a natural gas stream is cooled in a heat exchanger and combined with the natural gas stream. Heavy hydrocarbons are removed from the combined natural gas stream, and the resulting separated natural gas stream is partially condensed in the first heat exchanger, with a liquid stream separated therefrom. The natural gas stream is warmed in the first heat exchanger and then is compressed and cooled. The resultant cooled compressed natural gas stream is expanded, thereby forming a chilled natural gas stream that is separated into a refrigerant stream and a non-refrigerant stream. The refrigerant stream recycled to the heat exchanger to be warmed through heat exchange with one or more process streams associated with pretreating the natural gas stream, thereby generating a warmed refrigerant stream. The warmed refrigerant stream and the non-refrigerant stream are liquefied.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering CompanyInventors: Yijun Liu, Fritz Pierre, Jr.
