20110056594 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A COMPONENT FROM A STEEL PRODUCT PROVIDED WITH AN AL-SI COATING AND INTERMEDIATE PRODUCT OF SUCH A PROCESS - A process for producing a component from a steel product coated with a protective Al—Si coating, and an intermediate product that arises during the course of such a process and that can be used to produce components of the type concerned here. The steel product coated with the Al—Si coating, undergoes a first heating stage in which the temperature and the duration of the heat treatment are set such that the Al—Si coating is only partially pre-alloyed with Fe from the steel product. Then, the steel product, in a second heating stage, is heated to a heating temperature, above the Ac1 temperature, at which the steel product has an at least partially austenitic structure, wherein the temperature and the duration of the second heating stage are set such that the Al—Si coating is fully alloyed with Fe from the steel product. After the steel product is heated to the heating temperature, it is shaped to form the component and the component obtained is cooled in a controlled manner, in order to obtain a martensitic structure. | 03-10-2011 |

The fuelwater vapour/oxidation agent/carrier gas mixture is catalytically converted into a product gas which is rich in hydrogen in exothermic and endothermic reactions. The anode residual gas from the fuel cell is catalytically converted in exothermic reactions into waste gas having few harmful substances. The heat required for evaporating water into water vapour in the water vapour/carrier gas mixture is partially produced by cooling the product gas which is rich in hydrogen and partially by cooling the waste gas of the combustion which contains few harmful substances. | 05-28-2009 |

20100187160 | METHOD FOR PURIFYING MINERAL OIL FRACTIONS AND DEVICE SUITABLE FOR CONDUCTING SAID METHOD - Disclosed is a method for reducing the organic sulfur content in a sulfur-containing liquid fuel, wherein the sulfur-containing fuel is first brought in contact with a hydrogen-containing gas in a presaturator and subsequently the hydrogen-enriched liquid fuel is brought in contact with a suitable adsorbent in a reactor. The adsorbent is able to adsorb at least part of the sulfur and/or of the sulfur compound from the fuel at the surface. The contact with the adsorbent can advantageously take place not only at higher temperatures of approximately 400° C., but also at moderate temperatures, as low as room temperature, because the use of liquid fuel ensures very good contact between the fuel and the surface of the adsorbent, and therefore ensures reduction of the sulfur content. | 07-29-2010 |
