CONTINUOUSLY-OPERATED METAL HYDRIDE HYDROGEN COMPRESSOR, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
A continuously operated metal hydride hydrogen compressor, is disclosed, in which heating / cooling of a metal hydride is provided for by a heat pumping system. The compressor comprises two or more compression modules, each of which comprising a metal hydride container with metal hydride bed thermally coupled to a heating or cooling side of a heat pumping system comprising a heating side, cooling side and heat sink side.

In use the compressor acts as a reversible heat pumping system where the heating and cooling sides periodically operate alternatively as a heater and as a cooler. Thereby, the metal hydride bed can be heated to a higher temperature promoting high pressure hydrogen desorption therefrom, or cooled to a lower-temperature promoting low pressure hydrogen absorption therein, by the same heating / cooling side of the heat-pumping system, while excessive heat is permanently removed from the heat sink side at a medium temperature level.
Method for energy economic utilization of aluminium containing rocks and mineral for manufacture and isolation of valuable minerals. The aluminium containing rocks are in a first process step comminuted and dissolved in a mixture of CO2 and water under pressure at a pH in the range 3-7 and a temperature of about 300 0C and a pressure in the range 1-150 bar, the aluminium hydroxide thereby being directly precipitated and separated from the solution together with any compounds of iron and magnesium as well as any undissolved material. Reaction products in solution comprising both SiO2 and Ca2+ ions are continuously removed from the first process step while additional CO2 and H2O are continuously added so that the reaction takes place in absence of equilibrium. SiO2 and CaCO3are precipitated in subsequent process step at a pH higher than in the first process step.

The present invention relates to a method of adding nucleation seeds in order to promote the formation of hydrate particles in a flow containing hydrocarbon fluids and water. The method comprises adding nucleation seeds at a point in the flow before the hydrate-forming area, the nucleation seeds being available for the promotion of the hydrate formation when this area is reached. The invention also relates to use of various compounds for the promotion of hydrate formation in such a fluid flow, thereby forming a transportable hydrate slurry.
The surface recombination velocity of a silicon sample is reduced by deposition of a thin hydrogenated amorphous silicon or hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide film, followed by deposition of a thin hydrogenated silicon nitride film. The surface recombination velocity is further decreased by a subsequent anneal. Silicon solar cell structures using this new method for efficient reduction of the surface recombination velocity is claimed.

An empirical ensemble based virtual sensor system (VS) for the estimation of an amount of a gas (G) resulting from a combustion process (CP) comprising two or more empirical models (NN1, NN2,...,NNn). The amount of gas (G) is estimated in each of the empirical models (NN1, NN2,...,NNn), and a combination function (f) combines the results from the empirical models (NN1, NN2,...,NNn) to provide a combined estimate for the amount of gas (G) that is more accurate than the estimated amount of gas from each of the individual empirical models (y1, y2,...,ym). The total performance of the virtual sensor system (VS) may be increased by increasing the number of empirical models (y1, y2,...,ym).
