Abstract:
In a two-step method of chemothermal conversion of feedstock in the form of fluid compounds or compounds convertible into a fluid state, into low-molecular, organic or inorganic compounds, the improvement including reaching an extremely high efficiency rate of the destruction of the compounds of the second preliminary step by introducing the compounds of the first preliminary step through at least one small mixing channel under excess pressure of between 1.5 atmospheres and 150 atmospheres, so that the start of the exothermic reaction is delayed until the compounds reach the main reaction chamber, wherein, due to the excess pressure, the compounds react very quickly in an explosion-like manner, thereby reaching a high temperature and high density of heat radiation immediately usable for the destruction of the molecular structure of the compounds of the second preliminary step, and introducing the compounds of the second preliminary step simultaneously with the compounds of the first preliminary step at the downstream end of the mixing channels of the first preliminary step where the exothermic reaction takes place, thus enabling the transfer of energy from the exothermic reaction of the compounds of the first preliminary step at a highest possible temperature and heat radiation level to the compounds of the second preliminary step.
Abstract:
A continuous hydrothermal synthesis method which comprises pressurizing and heating a material slurry below a saturated vapor temperature or pressurizing a material slurry at normal temperature, pressurizing and heating an aqueous liquid above the saturated vapor temperature, atomizing and mixing the slurry and the aqueous liquid, effecting hydrothermal synthesis in a reaction section above the saturated vapor temperature, cooling the reaction product and taking out the product while retaining the pressurized state in the system by alternately opening and closing shut-off valves provided above and below a product discharging section or through a thin pipe provided in the product discharging section. The method is performed using an apparatus comprising heating-pressurizing sections respectively connected to a material slurry feeding section and an aqueous liquid feeding section, an atomizing-mixing section and a reaction section provided after these feeding sections, and a product discharging section.
Abstract:

In at least a part of the reactor vessel in which the heating elements are provided, a gas atmosphere is provided during the reaction period, which gas atmosphere has a defined volume fraction of oxygen.
Abstract:
A method of forming polycrystalline diamond includes encapsulating diamond particles, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide in a container. The encapsulated diamond particles, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide are subjected to a pressure of at least 4.5 GPa and a temperature of at least 1400° C. to form inter-granular bonds between the diamond particles. A cutting element includes polycrystalline diamond material comprising inter-bonded grains of diamond. The polycrystalline diamond material is substantially free of graphitic carbon and metallic compounds. The polycrystalline diamond material exhibits a density of at least about 3.49 g/cm3 and a modulus of at least about 1000 GPa. An earth-boring tool may include such a cutting element secured to a body.
Abstract:
In a method for the continuous precipitation of lignin from black liquor black liquor is provided so as to flow as a pressurized flow in a reactor with a dwell time of less than 300 s. An acidifying agent selected from the group of carbon dioxide, acid and their combinations is led to the flow at one or more feeding sites to lower the pH of black liquor. The pH is allowed to decrease by the effect of the acidifying agent in the pressurized flow to the precipitation point of lignin, the pressure of the pressurized flow is abruptly released, and lignin particles are separated from black liquor.

Abstract:
A reactor for treating with pressurized water a material in a fluid reaction medium. It comprises a body (2) delimiting a reaction area (10), an inlet (48) for the material to be treated in the reaction area (10), a point (46) for introducing an oxidant into the reaction area (10), at least one outlet for the treated material outside the reaction area (10), the material to be treated follows a path defined in the reaction area between its inlet and its outlet. The point (46) for introducing the oxidant in the reaction area (10) is located downstream from the inlet (48) for the material and is spaced apart from the latter by a certain distance so as to define an anoxic area (20) comprised between the inlet for the material to be treated and the point for introducing the oxidant, an area in which the fluid medium is in anoxia.
