| 20120020870 | PROCESS TO PRODUCE CARBON NANOTUBES FROM MICROALGAE - We disclose a process to produce carbon nanotubes from microalgae. Microalgae is been utilized for biodiesel production. The algal membrane resulted from oil extraction of microalgae is used here to produce carbon nanotubes. The process utilized for the conversion is composed of two steps, in the first step the algal membrane is converted to carbon black through a pyrolysis process in inert atmosphere, in the second step the resulted carbon black is converted to carbon nanotubes by mixing the carbon black with a fluid with known self ignition condition and subjecting the mix to said self ignition condition. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110263755 | USE OF SURFACTANT IN THE PREPARATION OF MODIFIED SULFUR AND SULFUR CEMENT - Use of a non-ionic surfactant in the preparation of modified sulfur and/or modified sulfur cement that may or may not be modified sulfur concrete. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110217787 | CONCENTRATION MEASURING APPARATUS FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN GAS FLOW, AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING SULFIDE ION - A concentration measuring apparatus for hydrogen sulfide includes an absorbing liquid that can absorb gaseous hydrogen sulfide as sulfide ion; a hollow fiber membrane contactor that contacts a gas flow with a flow of the absorbing liquid through a membrane, so that the absorbing liquid absorbs gaseous hydrogen sulfide in the gas flow as sulfide ion; a pump for a first channel that feeds the absorbing liquid to the hollow fiber membrane contactor; an oxidizer that exothermically reacts with sulfide ion; a pump for a second channel that feeds the oxidizer to the absorbing liquid; a first thermometer that measures a temperature of the absorbing liquid before the sulfide ion that the absorbing liquid has absorbed exothermically reacts with the oxidizer; and a second thermometer that measures the temperature of the absorbing liquid after the sulfide ion that the absorbing liquid has absorbed exothermically reacts with the oxidizer. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20110000198 | FILTER AND PROCESS OF USE TO PRODUCE CARBON NANOTUBES FROM AUTOMOTIVE EXHAUSTS - We disclose a novel filter and process that converts the wastes in automotive exhausts into carbon nanotubes. The filter surface is composed of iron of similar catalyst. The filter is placed along the pathway of exhaust streamlines preferably at an angle of more than 5° and less than 15°. The filter is heated to temperatures in the range of 200-1000° C. The filter described in this invention can work in its won or supplement existing filtration systems. The end product of this filtration system is a material that is commercially valuable. The synthesized carbon nanotubes are purified using ionic liquid solution that is capable of removing undesirable carbonated material and leaving 95% purified carbon nanotubes. The purified carbon nanotubes have a diameter of 20-50 nm and a length of 1-10 micro meters. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100284934 | DIAGNOSTIC AGENT - The invention provides an agent comprising an amino acid sequence for use in a method of diagnosis of a synucleinopathic disease. | 11-11-2010 |
