Method for separating components using solids producing multi-stage direct and indirect-contact exchange

Title: Method for separating components using solids producing multi-stage direct and indirect-contact exchange

Abstract

A process for forming a solid product or products is disclosed. The process is provided with n desublimating exchangers. An exchanger E1 being associated with a first exchanger and an exchanger En being associated with an nth exchanger, n representing the number of exchangers. The n exchangers comprise at least one direct-contact exchanger comprising a contact fluid. A process fluid is passed through the n exchangers in order from E1 through En. The process fluid comprises a product component or components. The solid product or products form from the product component or components in the plurality of exchangers by desublimation. The solid product or products are separated from the process fluid. In this manner, a solid product or products is formed.

Solid oxide fuel cell power plant having a fixed contact oxidation catalyzed section of a multi-section cathode air heat exchanger

Patent Saito, Kazuo; Lin, Yao

The multi-section cathode air heat exchanger (102) includes at least a first heat exchanger section (104), and a fixed contact oxidation catalyzed section (126) secured adjacent each other in a stack association. Cool cathode inlet air flows through cool air channels (110) of the at least first (104) and oxidation catalyzed sections (126). Hot anode exhaust flows through hot air channels (124) of the oxidation catalyzed section (126) and is combusted therein. The combusted anode exhaust then flows through hot air channels (112) of the first section (104) of the cathode air heat exchanger (102). The cool and hot airmore »« less

Combined condensing direct-contact exchange and separations

Patent Baxter, Larry; Davis, Nathan

Devices, systems, and methods for separating a vapor from a gas are disclosed. A gas is passed through a direct-contact exchanger. The exchanger using a contact liquid to cool the gas. The gas comprises a vapor. A portion of the vapor is condensed as the gas passes through the direct-contact exchanger, producing a product liquid and a vapor-depleted gas. The product liquid is immiscible in the contact liquid. The product liquid is gravity settled from the contact liquid such that the contact liquid and the product liquid separate in the direct-contact exchanger.

Indirect measurement of diluents in a multi-component natural gas

Patent Morrow, Thomas B.; Owen, Thomas E.

A method of indirectly measuring the diluent (nitrogen and carbon dioxide) concentrations in a natural gas mixture. The molecular weight of the gas is modeled as a function of the speed of sound in the gas, the diluent concentrations in the gas, and constant values, resulting in a model equation. A set of reference gas mixtures with known molecular weights and diluent concentrations is used to calculate the constant values. For the gas in question, if the speed of sound in the gas is measured at three states, the three resulting expressions of molecular weight can be solved for themore »« less

Indirect Measurement Of Nitrogen In A Multi-Component Gas By Measuring The Speed Of Sound At Two States Of The Gas.

Patent Morrow, Thomas B [San Antonio, TX]; Behring, II, Kendricks A. (Torrance, CA)

A methods of indirectly measuring the nitrogen concentration in a gas mixture. The molecular weight of the gas is modeled as a function of the speed of sound in the gas, the diluent concentrations in the gas, and constant values, resulting in a model equation. Regression analysis is used to calculate the constant values, which can then be substituted into the model equation. If the speed of sound in the gas is measured at two states and diluent concentrations other than nitrogen (typically carbon dioxide) are known, two equations for molecular weight can be equated and solved for the nitrogenmore » concentration in the gas mixture.« less

Methods of producing epoxides from alkenes using a two-component catalyst system

Patent Kung, Mayfair C.; Kung, Harold H.; Jiang, Jian

Methods for the epoxidation of alkenes are provided. The methods include the steps of exposing the alkene to a two-component catalyst system in an aqueous solution in the presence of carbon monoxide and molecular oxygen under conditions in which the alkene is epoxidized. The two-component catalyst system comprises a first catalyst that generates peroxides or peroxy intermediates during oxidation of CO with molecular oxygen and a second catalyst that catalyzes the epoxidation of the alkene using the peroxides or peroxy intermediates. A catalyst system composed of particles of suspended gold and titanium silicalite is one example of a suitable two-componentmore » catalyst system.« less
