Abstract:
An apparatus for the continuous modification of polymers in the flowable state by electron radiation, includes a device configured for converting polymers into the flowable state, a forming device and at least one irradiation device structured and arranged to provide electron radiation in a region of irradiation. Additionally, the apparatus includes at least one cooling device, a radiation guard and supply and discharge lines inside the radiation guard. The supply and discharge lines realize a continuous transport of the polymers in the flowable state at least through the radiation guard into the region of irradiation. Additionally, the supply and discharge lines realize a continuous transport of one of polymers remaining in the flowable state and modified at least inside the radiation guard and solid formed and modified polymers out of the region of the irradiation.
Abstract:
A falling film plasma reactor (FFPR) provides a number of benefits for the treatment of process gases. The falling film plasma reactor uses high voltage alternating current or pulsed direct current which is applied to radially separated electrodes to thereby create a dielectric breakdown of the process gas that is flowing within the large radial gap between the two electrodes. Typical plasma reactors often utilize fixed dielectric construction which can result in potential failure of the device by arcing between the electrodes as portions of the dielectric fail. Such failures are prevented by using a dielectric liquid that constantly flows over the electrodes, or over a fixed dielectric barrier over the electrodes.
Abstract:
An apparatus for mass transfer of a gas into a liquid, including a tank that defines a chamber for receiving the gas, and at least one surface provided within the chamber. Each surface has an inner region, an outer region and an edge adjacent the outer region. Each surface is configured to receive the liquid at the inner region and rotate such that the liquid flows on the surface from the inner region to the outer region, and, upon reaching the edge of the surface, separates to form liquid particles that move outwardly through the gas in the chamber. The liquid particles are sized so that the gas is absorbed by the liquid particles to produce a mixed liquid saturated with the gas during a brief flight time of the liquid particles through the chamber.
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing an organic thin film on a substrate surface comprising improved heat resistance or durability; said method comprising at least a step (B) of allowing the substrate to contact with an organic solvent solution comprising a metal surfactant having at least one or more hydrolysable group or hydroxyl group, and a catalyst that can interact with the metal surfactant, wherein the method further comprises after step (B), step (E1) of heating the substrate which has been in contact with the organic solvent solution at 100° C. to 150° C.; step (E2) of immersing the substrate which has been in contact with the organic solvent solution in a warm water of 40° C. or more and less than the boiling point; or step (E3) of allowing the substrate which has been in contact with the organic solvent solution to contact with a moisture vapor of 60° C. to 150° C.
Abstract:
New methods of operating surface reactors, and such reactors, particularly spinning disk reactors, require that a first reactant is fed to a reactor surface (20) and forms a thin radially outward moving film (60) thereon in a reaction passage (42) formed between the reaction surface (20) and a parallel, closely spaced (less than 1 mm) retaining surface (40). The passage thickness is precisely controllable and the surfaces (20, 40) move relative to one another so that strong shear is applied to the material between them. A second reactant is fed to the surface (20) as a second thin film (65) that as it enters the first film (60), preferably perpendicularly, it is immediately merged therewith along a correspondingly very narrow interaction line (66) by the shear at a rate such as to break up molecular clusters in the films, so that their molecules can aggressively and completely interact by forced interdiffusion. In spinning disk (18) apparatus the first film (60) is fed along the spin axis (14), while subsequent films (65, etc.) are fed at respective distances from the axis (14) such that there is adequate shear for the molecular cluster disruption. Preferably each film (65, etc.) after the first (60) is fed into the reaction passage (42) through a respective thin annular nozzle producing a thin circular film (65) that simultaneously merges with the first film (60) along its entire length.
