Abstract

The invention is used to extract pore fluid from porous solids through a combination of mechanical compression and inert-gas injection and comprises a piston for axially compressing samples to force water out, and top and bottom drainage plates for capturing the exuded water and using inert gas to force water to exit when the limits of mechanical compression have been reached.

Bidirectional draining pore-fluid vessel

Patent Prizio, J.

The invention pertains to an apparatus for extracting pore fluids from porous solids to determine the suitability for a potential repository to store high-level radioactive wastes. Pore fluids are necessary for chemical analysis to help characterize the local hydrologic system and to evaluate the potential interaction of pore gas and water with waste canisters. The principal utility of the bidirectionally draining pore-fluid extraction vessel is that it extracts pore fluids from porous solids through a combination of one-dimensional mechanical compression and inert gas injection.
Fluid-solid contact vessel having fluid distributors therein

Patent Jones, Jr., John B. (Rifle, CO)

Rectangularly-shaped fluid distributors for large diameter, vertical vessels include reinforcers for high heat operation, vertical sides with gas distributing orifices and overhanging, sloped roofs. Devices are provided for cleaning the orifices from a buildup of solid deposits resulting from the reactions in the vessel.

Foam vessel for cryogenic fluid storage

Patent Spear, Jonathan D [San Francisco, CA]

Cryogenic storage and separator vessels made of polyolefin foams are disclosed, as are methods of storing and separating cryogenic fluids and fluid mixtures using these vessels. In one embodiment, the polyolefin foams may be cross-linked, closed-cell polyethylene foams with a density of from about 2 pounds per cubic foot to a density of about 4 pounds per cubic foot.

Evaluating a vessel for suitability for containing fluid

Patent Barefield, II, James E.; Judge, Elizabeth J.; Le, Loan A.; ...

A method for evaluating a vessel for suitability to contain a fluid includes providing a vessel and forming a polished surface portion of the vessel by removing oxidation and/or contaminants from a portion of the vessel. The method further includes applying a focused laser to the polished surface portion to form plasma on the polished surface portion, and determining whether the vessel is suitable for containing a fluid based on silicon content of the polished surface portion. The silicon content is estimated based on light emitted from the plasma.

Supercritical fluid extraction

Patent Wai, Chien M. (Moscow, ID); Laintz, Kenneth (Pullman, WA)

A method of extracting metalloid and metal species from a solid or liquid material by exposing the material to a supercritical fluid solvent containing a chelating agent. The chelating agent forms chelates that are soluble in the supercritical fluid to allow removal of the species from the material. In preferred embodiments, the extraction solvent is supercritical carbon dioxide and the chelating agent is a fluorinated or lipophilic crown ether or fluorinated dithiocarbamate. The method provides an environmentally benign process for removing contaminants from industrial waste without using acids or biologically harmful solvents. The chelate and supercritical fluid can be regenerated,more »« less
