Provided is a solvent separation method and a solvent separation apparatus that make it possible to efficiently retrieve the thermal energy possessed by an exhaust atmosphere released in a solvent-removal step to suppress reductions in a temperature of the exhaust atmosphere. In the solvent separation method and the solvent separation apparatus, a vaporized solvent is removed from a gas while heat exchange between the gas within a condensation part and the gas within a dust-collection part is conducted by using a heat exchange part that is placed between the condensation part that introduces the gas into a first direction and the dust-collection part that introduce the gas into a second direction opposite to the first direction the gas discharged from a downstream side of the condensation part.

Precipitator unit of a two-stage electro filter where air to be cleaned from electrically charged particles is intended to flow through the unit. Said unit comprising at least two cylindrical precipitators (10, 11) that each comprise at least two electrode elements arranged at a gap distance from each other. Each one of the precipitators (10, 11) is also intended to be connected to a high voltage source. The respective electrode elements of a precipitator (10, 11) are connected to different poles of the high voltage source. The main planes of the precipitators (10, 11) are axially spaced in the air flow direction and a cone shaped duct (21) extends between the circumference of the first precipitator (10) and a center opening (13) of the second precipitator (11). A first amount of polluted air flows across the area of the first precipitator (10) and continues afterwards through the inside of the cone shaped duct (21) and out of the unit through the center opening (13) of the second precipitator (11). A second amount of polluted air flows outside the circumference of both the first precipitator (10) and the cone shaped duct (21) in order to be cleaned by the second precipitator (11).

Apparatus and methods for selectively transmitting objects of interest from a first reservoir to a second reservoir are disclosed. The apparatus includes electromagnetic focusing apparatus configured to interact with objects of interest to induce a change in a property of the objects of interest so as to increase the probability that the objects of interest through a throat diffusively coupling the first reservoir and the second reservoir.

Provided is a solvent separation method and a solvent separation apparatus in which a vaporized solvent is collected at one internal side of a solvent separation unit by attracting the vaporized solvent based on electric field, while the vaporized solvent is prevented from coming into contact with electrodes, and the collected solvent is discharged from the solvent separation unit. Different electric fields are alternately applied to a pair of first electrodes and a pair of second electrodes present at predetermined locations inside a tetragonal tubular solvent separation unit to attract a vaporized solvent toward the second electrodes. Thus, the vaporized solvent is collected in a space between the second electrodes inside the solvent separation unit, and the collected solvent is discharged from the solvent separation unit, together with a portion of the exhaust atmosphere present around the collected solvent.
