20080226510Extensional Flow Layer Separating Reactor - The invention relates to a extensional flow layer-separating reactor comprising a channel, in which at least two educt products and at least one separation fluid for spatially separating said two products are introduced, an extension area which is adjacent to the channel in such a way that the educt product and the separation fluid which are drawn in substantially laminar layers, flow at a greater speed and a turbulence generating device for generating the turbulent micro mixture of the educt products.09-18-2008
20100248120CARBON BLACK, METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CARBON BLACK OR OTHER FLAME AEROSOLS, AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD - The invention relates to a method for producing carbon black or other flame aerosols, comprising the following steps: the heat is removed from the flame by dissipation and/or radiation; a thin gas boundary layer is formed; the flow formed by the flame and the gas boundary layer is accelerated or expanded; the obtained aerosol is withdrawn; and the cooling surface is cleaned. The invention further relates to a device for carrying out such a method and a black carbon having a maximum pH value of 6.0, a maximum ignition residue of 0.1 percent, and a maximum 5 μm screening refuse of 200 ppm. The inventive black carbon can be used in rubber, plastic, printing inks, inks, inkjet inks, toners, lacquers, dyes, paper, bitumen, concrete, and other construction materials.09-30-2010
20130074692METHOD FOR THE ELECTRIC DEPOSITION OF AEROSOLS AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - The invention relates to a process for the separation of charged aerosols, in which the aerosol is, first of all, separated in a collector electrode, which can be flowed through under the effect of a space charge. For the production of a high electrical potential, electrical charges of the aerosol to be separated are subsequently collected on the collector electrode. Finally, the residual aerosol exiting from the collector electrode is guided through the separation zone at high field intensity. In accordance with the invention, the invention also relates to a device for the implementation of the above-stated process.03-28-2013
