Abstract:

A rigid or semi-rigid demister pad is positioned between an air turbine and an inertial water removal device such as extractor in an air conditioning system for an aircraft. The demister pad comprises packed fibers or strands whose diameter typically ranges from approximately 10 or fewer microns to approximately 280 microns. The demister is capable of catching very small droplets discharged from the air turbine that coalesce into larger droplets that exit the demister pad and enter an adjacent water removal device downstream from the pad to separate the larger water droplets from the stream of air. This avoids using a water separator containing a coalescer bag that requires frequent maintenance and is sensitive to dirt and freezing. The demister can operate at freezing temperature, is not dirt-sensitive and requires no maintenance.

International Classification:

C07C029/143

US Classification:

568/864000

Abstract:

The invention provides a process for the purification of alcohols, particularly for the purification of isopropyl alcohol. A invention provides a process for reducing the amount of ultraviolet light absorbing ketone impurities and/or aldehyde impurities in a fluid mixture containing an alcohol in addition to ketone impurities and/or aldehyde impurities, which comprises reacting a fluid mixture containing an alcohol in addition to ketone impurities and/or aldehyde impurities, with a sufficient amount of a reducing agent, under conditions wherein the reducing agent is preferentially more reactive with the ketone impurities and/or aldehyde impurities than the alcohol to thereby form a reaction product; and then recovering a recovered alcohol product from the reaction product.

Abstract:

An adsorption heat exchanger may comprise a stack of alternating adsorption layers and heat transfer layers. Separator plates may separate the adsorption layers from the heat transfer layers. The adsorption layer may include a first corrugated sheet positioned between and brazed to the adsorption zone facing side of two separator sheets. The first corrugated sheet and the exposed portions of the adsorption zone facing side of the separator sheets may be coated with an adsorptive material. The heat transfer layer may include a second corrugated sheet positioned between and brazed to the heat transfer zone facing side of two separator sheets. The second corrugated sheet may be oriented about 90 to the first corrugated sheet.

US Classification:

564423

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for converting hydrazine, substituted hydrazines and/or other nitrogen-containing explosive materials, particularly unsymmetric dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH), to ammonia or ammonia and the corresponding amines by hydrogenation are disclosed. The hydrazines are diluted with a suitable carrier fluid, preferably water, mixed with hydrogen, then hydrogenated in a catalyst reactor, followed by separation of the commercially valuable ammonia and amines. Separated carrier fluid and hydrogen gas may be recycled in to the process to conserve energy and reduce waste. Recycled carrier fluid may be used to preheat the diluted hydrazine prior to hydrogenation. Ammonia may be dissociated and the resultant hydrogen recycled into the hydrogenation process. The apparatus is sized for disassembly and transport for shipping to hydrazine disposal sites.
