Method for Treating Particles with Electric Pulses and Use of a Device for Treating Particles
This invention provides a method and device for treating solid particles using electric pulses as they pass through a vertically oriented process chamber. The particles, arranged as a particle bed, continuously flow from the top to the bottom of the chamber and are exposed to electrical impulses via electrodes on opposite sides of the chamber. This process can pre-weaken or fragment the particles, making subsequent processing, such as crushing or separation, more efficient. The system is designed to avoid blockages and enables higher throughput compared to conventional methods.
Device and Method for Removal of Nitrogen Oxides from the Exhaust Gas of Lean-Burn Hydrogen Combustion Engines
This patent describes a device and method for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust of lean-burn hydrogen combustion engines. The invention uses a two-step catalyst system: the first catalyst converts NOx and hydrogen into ammonia, and the second SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst uses the produced ammonia to further reduce any remaining NOx.
Process for the Preparation of Hydridoalkoxysilanes
This patent describes a method for producing hydridoalkoxysilanes by reacting halogenalkoxysilanes with sodium borohydride in acetonitrile as a solvent. The process enables the efficient conversion of halogenated alkoxysilanes (where the halogen is typically chlorine, but can also be fluorine, bromine, or iodine) to their corresponding hydridoalkoxysilanes (such as triethoxysilane or trimethoxysilane), which are valuable intermediates in organosilicon chemistry. The process can be done at ambient temperature and pressure, without the need for a catalyst.
