VARIABLE VOLUME CATALYST CELL FOR CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF ETHYLENE OXIDE EMISSIONS AND RELATED METHODOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050894 titled 'VARIABLE VOLUME CATALYST CELL FOR CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF ETHYLENE OXIDE EMISSIONS AND RELATED METHODOLOGY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a catalyst cell that includes a main body with a sidewall surrounding a cavity for holding catalyst material. The cell has an inlet and an outlet, both in communication with the cavity, and a compaction plate that can be moved within the cavity to adjust the volume. A spring is connected to the compaction plate to apply force and adjust the volume in response to catalyst material breakdown.

  • The catalyst cell has a main body with a cavity for holding catalyst material.
  • It has an inlet and an outlet that are both connected to the cavity.
  • A compaction plate can be moved within the cavity to adjust the volume.
  • A spring is connected to the compaction plate to apply force and adjust the volume.
  • The adjustment of the volume is in response to catalyst material breakdown.

Potential Applications:

  • Catalyst cells can be used in various industrial processes that require catalytic reactions, such as chemical manufacturing, petroleum refining, and environmental remediation.
  • This technology can be applied in fuel cells to improve their efficiency and performance.
  • It can be used in exhaust systems of vehicles to reduce emissions and improve air quality.

Problems Solved:

  • The catalyst cell allows for easy adjustment of the volume of the cavity, which helps maintain optimal catalyst performance.
  • It prevents catalyst material from becoming ineffective due to breakdown or degradation.
  • The cell design ensures efficient flow of reactants and products through the cavity, enhancing the catalytic reaction.

Benefits:

  • The adjustable volume of the cavity allows for better control and optimization of the catalytic process.
  • The use of a spring and compaction plate enables automatic adjustment of the cavity volume, reducing the need for manual intervention.
  • The catalyst cell design improves the longevity and effectiveness of the catalyst material, resulting in cost savings and improved overall performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a catalyst cell includes a main body having a sidewall extending around a cavity sized to receive catalyst material. an inlet and an outlet are located at the sidewall, with both being in communication with the cavity, and the outlet being spaced from the inlet. a compaction plate is positionable within the cavity adjacent the catalyst material, with the compaction plate and the main body collectively defining a volume of the cavity. the compaction plate is moveable relative to the main body to facilitate variation in the volume of the cavity. a spring is operatively connected to the compaction plate and is configured to impart a force on the compaction plate to facilitate adjustment of the volume of the cavity in response to breakdown of catalyst material within the cavity.
