  • Patent number: 10611657
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for preparing fuel gas by utilizing an organic waste with high water content. The method comprises the following steps: 1) providing an organic waste with high water content; 2) performing hydrothermal reaction by using the organic waste with high water content as a reactant to obtain a hydrothermal reaction product; 3) enabling the hydrothermal reaction product to generate steam, and separating a solid product and an oily liquid product in the hydrothermal reaction product; 4) performing gasification reaction by using the solid product, the oily liquid product and the steam as reactants to obtain a gasification reaction product; and 5) purifying the gasification reaction product to obtain clean fuel gas. The present invention further provides a system for preparing fuel gas. The method can be used for preparing clean fuel gas from the organic waste with water content of 60% or more.

  • Publication number: 20180165717
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing search traffic data internal to a social-networking system, the internal search traffic data comprising historical search volume for search terms; identifying qualifying keywords based on the internal search traffic data, wherein the internal search traffic data for each qualifying keyword satisfies one or more of the following criteria: (1) a current search volume for the qualifying keyword is less than an upper threshold volume; (2) an overall rate of change in search volume during an overall timeframe is greater than a first threshold rate of change; and (3) a current rate of change in search volume during a current timeframe is greater than a second threshold rate of change, wherein the overall timeframe begins at a time preceding the current timeframe; and sending instructions for placing a bid on each qualifying keyword to a third-party system associated with an external search engine.

  • Patent number: 9029623
    Abstract: A treatment process of persistent organic pollutants contained in particles is provided. Said process includes reacting persistent organic pollutant in particles under hydrothermal conditions in the presence of Fe2+ and Fe3+. Several beneficial effects can be achieved, including 1) no other additive is needed during the reaction process; 2) Fe2+ and Fe3+ are safe, cheap and extensive sources; 3) because Fe2+ and Fe3+ are dissolved, they can fully disperse into particles, and fully contact can be achieved, thus obtaining a decomposition rate no less than 70% of the persistent organic pollutants is under subcritical conditions.
