Kraft paper mill black liquor, and almost all of this potentially recoverable natural polymer is simply burned without separation om furnaces. the high cost occurs because, when the lignin is made insoluble by acid addition,the lignin particles formed are submicron in size, and even when coagulated… More

A computer implemented model for simulating electrolytic cells will be developed. the model will provide the total current and its distribution in the cell, the deposit thickness along the electrode, the overpotential components,the overall cell resistance and the power dissipation as function of… More

Helipump has discovered a new technology for contacting liquid and fine particle slurry countercurrently. high masstransfer and simple equipment make the technology attractivefor continuous adsorptive separation of liquids. present technology simulates countercurrent plug flow of solid against… More

Exhausts from military incinerator and jet engine test cells contain nitrogen oxides (nox) which pose environmental and health hazards. conventional nox control technologies are expensive, energy intensive, or technically insufficient. we propose to develop a novel, alternative technology to control… More

The application of impeller fluidized microemulsion liquid membranes to the separation of contaminants such as heavy metals and organics from wastewater is proposed. the impeller fluidizer developed by helipump corporation is a self-pumping, durable, and inexpensive fluidizer design which provides… More

A new method of separation based on transient diffusion coupled with cyclic convection is proposed to reduce the cost of producing biochemicals, especially proteins. species with diffusivities that differ less than 10% can be sharply separated in less than an hour. the new process is potentially… More
