  • Patent number: 10336905
    Abstract: Provided are an organic silicon resin composition, prepreg and laminate using the same. The organic silicon resin composition glue solution contains a condensation silicon resin, a catalyst, an auxiliary agent, a white filler and a solvent as necessary components, and is impregnated in a reinforced material such as a sheet-like fiberglass fiber base material and then dried to prepare the prepreg. The prepreg has a net structure via crosslinking of the silicon resin using a condensation reaction. Since the organic silicon resin has ultrahigh heat resistance and yellowing resistance, the present invention applies the silicon resin to a white LED copper-clad laminate instead of a traditional organic resin, satisfying the demand for high heat resistance, and replacing the ceramic substrate to be a new heat-dissipating substrate base material.

  • Patent number: 10336944
    Abstract: A hydrocarbon generation system that combines a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) and a Fischer-Tropsch unit in a single microtubular reactor is described. This system can directly synthesize hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide and water. High temperature co-electrolysis of H2O and CO2 and low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process are integrated in a single microtubular reactor by designation of a temperature gradient along the axial length of the microtubular reactor. The microtubular reactor can provide direct conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons for use as feedstock or energy storage.

  • Patent number: 10336945
    Abstract: A process for the decoking of a hydrocarbon steam cracking furnace having a firebox, radiant coils, a transfer line exchanger, and an oil quench connection wherein liquid quench oil is injected to directly cool the steam-cracked effluent. Decoking feed comprising steam and air is supplied to the furnace under conditions sufficient to at least partially combust coke accumulated on the interior of the radiant coils, the transfer line exchanger, and the quench connection. Quench steam is supplied and injected into the decoking process effluent in an amount sufficient to cool the decoking process effluent below the metallurgical temperature limit of downstream piping. Also, a pyrolysis furnace for the production of ethylene is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10336951
    Abstract: A petroleum desalting process in which the oil/water emulsion layer which forms in the desalter vessel between the settled water layer and the settled oil layer is separated into the oil and water components by contact with a heated high boiling hydrocarbon to break the emulsion and vaporize water from the emulsion in a flash drum. The vessel has an emulsion outlet for removing an emulsion stream from the emulsion layer and a conduit connecting the emulsion withdrawal port to an inlet of an optional settling drum to effect and initial separation into an oil-enriched phase and a water phase with the oil-enriched phase led to the flash drum.
