摘要： The present invention is directed to an improved wet air oxidation system and method for reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of waste water used from scrubbers of coal gasification plants, with this COD reduction being sufficient to effectively eliminate waste water as an environmental pollutant. The improvement of the present invention is provided by heating the air used in the oxidation process to a temperature substantially equal to the temperature in the oxidation reactor before compressing or pressurizing the air. The compression of the already hot air further heats the air which is then passed in heat exchange with gaseous products of the oxidation reaction for "superheating" the gaseous products prior to the use thereof in turbines as the driving fluid. The superheating of the gaseous products significantly minimizes condensation of gaseous products in the turbine so as to provide a substantially greater recovery of mechanical energy from the process than heretofore achieved.

摘要： Method for synthesizing L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate and its acid, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. The present invention involves the separation of phenol from a reaction mixture containing L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate and phenol. In the present method a reaction mixture containing phenol, L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate, and chloride salt, is contacted with a phenol adsorbing adsorption resin, the adsorption resin comprising a polymer having a polyethylene backbone. The adsorption resin is capable of adsorbing substantially all of the phenol while not adsorbing substantial amounts of the L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate from the reaction mixture.

摘要： A process which permits the facile conversion of green bananas to a sugar syrup uses a sequence of steps involving grinding the bananas, heating the bananas, treating the bananas with an alpha amylase to convert the starch granules into lower molecular weight molecules (liquefaction), changing conditions and treating the low molecular weight starch molecules and other substances in the liquefied fluid with the enzymes, amyloglucosidase, pectinase, cellulase, macerase, etc., filtering the resultant fluid to remove the solids, and, if necessary, evaporating the sugar solution to a suitable concentration. Use of elevated pH in each of the enzymatic conversion steps was found to greatly increase the glucose yield.
