ic METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING CARBON DIOXIDE FROM A GAS STREAM AND FOR REMOVING DEGRADATION PRODUCTS IN THE WASHING MEDIUM BY PHOTOLYTIC DECOMPOSITION By www.freepatentsonline.com Published On :: Thu, 04 May 2017 08:00:00 EDT A method for separating carbon dioxide from a gas stream, in particular from a flue gas stream, wherein, a gas stream is brought into contact with a washing medium in an absorber of a separation device and the carbon dioxide contained in the gas stream is separated; the charged washing medium is supplied to a desorber of the separation device to release the carbon dioxide; a vapor stream is removed from the desorber and is supplied to a cooling unit to form a condensate; degradation products, in particular nitrosamines, contained in at least a partial stream of the condensate are photolytically decomposed to decomposition products; at least the decomposition products, in particular nitrites and amines, are removed; and at least a partial stream of the condensate is returned to the desorber. A corresponding separation device separates carbon dioxide from a gas stream. Full Article
ic DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING CARBON DIOXIDE FROM A GAS STREAM, IN PARTICULAR FROM A FLUE GAS STREAM, COMPRISING A COOLING WATER SYSTEM By www.freepatentsonline.com Published On :: Thu, 04 May 2017 08:00:00 EDT A device for separating carbon dioxide from a gas stream, in particular from a flue gas stream, includes an absorber for separating the carbon dioxide from the gas stream by means of a washing medium, a desorber which is fludically connected to the absorber to release the absorbed carbon dioxide from the washing medium, a gas cooler which is fludically connected upstream of the absorber to cool the gas stream, and a processing unit which is connected downstream of the gas cooler and which is equipped and designed to clean water from the gas cooler. A method separates carbon dioxide from a gas stream. Full Article

ic DEVICE FOR EXTRACTION OF POLLUTANTS BY MULTICHANNEL TUBULAR MEMBRANE By www.freepatentsonline.com Published On :: Thu, 11 May 2017 08:00:00 EDT A device for extraction of pollutants by multichannel tubular membrane containing at least one fluid channel allowing the fluid to go through a feed inlet to an outlet end characterized in that membrane comprises at least an extraction channel filled with molten salt in order to adsorb said pollutants having to be extracted from the said fluid. Advantageously, the membrane is a ceramic membrane. An application is for the treatment of traces of pollutants in a liquid or gaseous fluid. For example, the removal of small pollutants as volatile organic compounds from an aqueous stream in industrial wastewater treatment or other water treatment applications, or the separation of aromatic compounds form an hydrocarbon feed in petrochemical applications. Another application is in the removal of water traces in products of high added value as pharmaceutical, cosmetic or biocarburant for example. Full Article
ic MOBILE PURIFICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PURIFYING INDOOR AIR AND/OR FRESH AIR By www.freepatentsonline.com Published On :: Thu, 11 May 2017 08:00:00 EDT A mobile purification device for purifying indoor air and/or fresh air, has a holder and a filter element having a particle-filtering and a gas-adsorbing region, the particle-filtering region having a filter medium and the filter element being received in the holder to purify indoor air and/or fresh air containing smoke and/or particles and is useful as a mobile purification device, filtering particle-polluted and/or smoke-polluted indoor air and/or fresh air as effectively as possible, with particulate, emitted contaminants being prevented as far as possible from being discharged from the gas-adsorbing region into a space, wherein the particle-filtering region faces a downstream side of the holder and in that the gas-adsorbing region faces an upstream side, which can be supplied with indoor air and/or fresh air polluted with smoke and/or particles.

ic DUST COLLECTION DEVICE By www.freepatentsonline.com Published On :: Thu, 18 May 2017 08:00:00 EDT A dust collection device (1) for removing fine particles from an atmosphere is provided with a filter (3), a blower (11), a dust removal device (7), and a pressure introduction device (9). The filter (3) removes fine particles from an atmosphere drawn into a filter chamber (5A). The blower (11) draws the atmosphere into the filter chamber (5A) and generates an air flow through the filter (3). The dust removal device (7) removes fine particles adhering to the filter (3). The pressure introduction device operates during operation of the dust removal device (7) and introduces an atmospheric pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure inside an air passage to the air passage downstream from the filter (3).
