Abstract

A novel method of electric field flow fractionation for separating solute molecules from a carrier solution is disclosed. The method of the invention utilizes an electric field that is periodically reversed in polarity, in a time-dependent, wave-like manner. The parameters of the waveform, including amplitude, frequency and wave shape may be varied to optimize separation of solute species. The waveform may further include discontinuities to enhance separation.

A method of electric field flow fractionation wherein the polarity of the electric field is periodically reversed

Patent Application Stevens, F J

Field flow fractionation, a method obtaining high resolution separations of organic and inorganic colloids and soluble molecules, has been known in the art for approximately twenty years. The term field flow fractionation uses the word field in a generic sense. The field may comprise an electric field, a temperature gradient, a pH gradient, gravitational sedimentation or sedimentation through the application of a centrifugal force. The field is made to act upon a flowing solution or colloidal suspension and causes segregation or fractionation of the solute molecules or colloid particles.

Method of electric field flow fractionation wherein the polarity of the electric field is periodically reversed

Patent Stevens, F J

This patent describes a method of field flow fractionation for fractionating solute molecules form a solution. It comprises: causing the solution to flow through a fractionating conduit, under conditions of laminar fluid flow, applying an electric field across the flowing solution, between the input end and the discharge end of the conduit, periodically reversing the polarity of the electric field while the solution flows through the conduit.
Nondestructive acoustic electric field probe apparatus and method

Patent Migliori, Albert [Santa Fe, NM]

The disclosure relates to a nondestructive acoustic electric field probe and its method of use. A source of acoustic pulses of arbitrary but selected shape is placed in an oil bath along with material to be tested across which a voltage is disposed and means for receiving acoustic pulses after they have passed through the material. The received pulses are compared with voltage changes across the material occurring while acoustic pulses pass through it and analysis is made thereof to determine preselected characteristics of the material.

Method of measuring the dc electric field and other tokamak parameters

Patent Fisch, Nathaniel J [Princeton, NJ]; Kirtz, Arnold H [Princeton Junction, NJ]

A method including externally imposing an impulsive momentum-space flux to perturb hot tokamak electrons thereby producing a transient synchrotron radiation signal, in frequency-time space, and the inference, using very fast algorithms, of plasma parameters including the effective ion charge state Z.sub.eff, the direction of the magnetic field, and the position and width in velocity space of the impulsive momentum-space flux, and, in particular, the dc toroidal electric field.

Method of using an electric field controlled emulsion phase contactor

Patent Scott, Timothy C [Knoxville, TN]

A system for contacting liquid phases comprising a column for transporting a liquid phase contacting system, the column having upper and lower regions. The upper region has a nozzle for introducing a dispersed phase and means for applying thereto a vertically oriented high intensity pulsed electric field. This electric field allows improved flow rates while shattering the dispersed phase into many micro-droplets upon exiting the nozzle to form a dispersion within a continuous phase. The lower region employs means for applying to the dispersed phase a horizontally oriented high intensity pulsed electric field so that the dispersed phase undergoes continuousmore »« less
