Abstract

A method for quantifying natural fibers and/or chemical fibers present in a liquid effluent from a textile treatment device. A sample of the liquid effluent or its filtration residue is heated in an inert atmosphere between an initial temperature (TO) of at most 290°C and a final temperature (TF) of at least 550°C, and a curve of the evolution, as a function of the temperature, of a representative amount of hydrocarbon compounds released by the sample is measured. From predefined initial, intermediate (Tl) and final integration temperatures of said curve, an amount of hydrocarbon compounds released by the natural fibers of the sample and/or an amount of hydrocarbon compounds released by the chemical fibers of the sample is determined. Then, on the basis of predetermined laws of correlation, a mass percentage of natural fibers and/or chemical fibers present in the sample is deduced therefrom.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a control device for a transmission, which comprises two motion transmission paths (TR1, TR2), one with a one-way coupling (10) and one with a driven coupling (12). The control device controls the driven coupling (12) to move into the open position depending on the speed of rotation of the secondary shaft of the transmission and its relative direction of rotation between the pinion (toothed wheel) and shaft which are connected by the one-way coupling (with respect to the direction of drive of the one-way coupling). In addition, the control device controls the driven coupling (12) to move into the closed position when the relative direction of rotation of the shaft is in the reverse direction to the direction of drive of the one-way coupling, so as to assist the performance of the transmission for recovering energy via the electric machine.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for separating levulinic acid from a composition comprising levulinic acid and humins, wherein said composition is subjected to a step of thermal separation in the presence of a flux having a boiling point greater than that of the levulinic acid, so as to obtain a light fraction containing the levulinic acid and a heavy fraction containing the humins and said flux. The presence of a flux makes it possible to reduce the viscosity of the humins and to increase the recovery rate of levulinic acid.

Abstract

The present invention relative to a process for the hydroconversion of a feedstock including a fraction of less than 50% by weight of plastic and/or SRF pyrolysis oil (102) and a heavy hydrocarbon fraction (101) containing a portion of at least 50% by weight with a boiling point of at least 300° C. and containing sulfur and nitrogen. The hydroconversion uses one or more ebullated bed or hybrid ebullated-entrained bed reactors (20), and preferably two successive hydroconversion steps. The process according to the invention allows the production of higher-quality, lower-boiling materials, for example for the production of fuels or chemical compounds for the petrochemical industry, with improved yields of certain cuts and while allowing facilitated processing of the hydroconverted products in downstream steps such as fixed-bed hydrotreatment and while maintaining good stability of the unconverted fraction.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and method for separating a particulate gas-solid mixture, comprising/using: a substantially vertical inlet pipe (23) suitable for receiving the particulate gas-solid mixture (13); a first bend (24) of substantially 90°, connected to the lower end of the inlet pipe and having a substantially vertical upper inlet and a substantially horizontal lower outlet; a second bend (27) of substantially 90°, connected to the lower end of the first bend and having a substantially horizontal upper inlet and a substantially vertical lower outlet; a discharge pipe (25) connected to the concave side of the first bend, the projection of which in the plane of symmetry of the first bend has an angle α1 of between 5° and 85°, relative to the vertical, and the projection of which in a horizontal plane has an angle α2 of between 0° and 90° with respect to the plane of symmetry of the first bend.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating a lignocellulosic biomass, with a) an optional step of impregnating the biomass (1), b) a step of cooking (3) the biomass (1) in the presence of water vapor (2) in order to obtain a mixture comprising the biomass (5) and water vapor (4a), c) a separation step in order to obtain the pretreated biomass (5) and the water vapor (4a), d) a step of condensing (17) the water vapor (4a) from the cooking step b) to liquid effluent (4b), e) an enzymatic hydrolysis step (6) in order to obtain a hydrolyzed biomass (7), f) a step of fermenting (8) the hydrolyzed biomass (7) in order to obtain a mixture comprising a fermented biomass (9) and a solid residue, then at least one step of washing said mixture or said solid residue obtained in step f), using the liquid effluent resulting from the condensation step d).
