A tangential flow filtration module includes plural plate units connected in sequence. Each of the plate units includes a main body, a first combing portion, a second combing portion, a first flange and a second flange. The main body has a first side surface, a second side surface and a through hole. The first side surface is opposite to the second side surface, and the through hole extends from the first side surface to the second side surface. The first combing portion and the second combing portion are disposed on the first side surface and the second side surface respectively. The first flange and the second flange respectively protrude from the first side surface and the second side surface and respectively. The first combing portion of one of the plate units is combined with the second combing portion of another one of the plate units, so that a sieving structure.

A process for the separation of electrolyte from the carbon in a solid carbon/electrolyte cathode product formed at the cathode during molten carbonate electrolysis. The processes allows for easy separation of the solid carbon product from the electrolyte without any observed detrimental effect on the structure and/or stability of the resulting solid carbon nanomaterial.

An automated computer-controlled sampling system and related methods for collecting, processing, and analyzing agricultural samples for various chemical properties such as plant available nutrients. The sampling system allows multiple samples to be processed and analyzed for different analytes or chemical properties in a simultaneous concurrent or semi-concurrent manner. Advantageously, the system can process soil samples in the “as collected” condition without drying or grinding. The system generally includes a sample preparation sub-system which receives soil samples collected by a probe collection sub-system and produces a slurry (i.e. mixture of soil, vegetation, and/or manure and water), and a chemical analysis sub-system which processes the prepared slurry samples for quantifying multiple analytes and/or chemical properties of the sample. The sample preparation and chemical analysis sub-systems can be used to analyze soil, vegetation, and/or manure samples. A soil collection system is disclosed which captures and directs samples to the sampling system for processing.

The present invention relates to a process for separation of oxyresveratrol molecule from the extracted solution of Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb. through membrane application. The product can be obtained in excellent yield upto 81% in case of extraction using water as solvent and can be separated from the extracted mixture upto 98% using indigenously developed nanofiltration membrane. Only the desired Trans isomer is obtained and no cis isomerisation takes place during the extraction process.

A toilet device for a rail vehicle includes flushing water-carrying installations and wastewater-carrying installations. The flushing water-carrying installations include an intermediate reservoir for storing flushing water and a supply line for supplying the intermediate reservoir with flushing water. The supply line includes a filter for filtering the flushing water supplied to the intermediate reservoir. The supply line is connected to the intermediate reservoir such that flushing water from the intermediate reservoir can be returned through the filter. A backflushing line is connected to the filter and opens into a wastewater-carrying installation. A method for operating the toilet device includes supplying the flushing water through a filter to fill the intermediate reservoir, and flushing a flushable bowl with flushing water from the intermediate reservoir or backflushing the filter with flushing water from the intermediate reservoir and draining off the flushing water to a wastewater-carrying installation.

A filter element for a fuel filter has first and second end plates and a particle filter medium arranged between the first and second end plates. A bayonet protrusion on the first end plate is designed to engage a bayonet receptacle of the filter housing by rotation of the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis. An internal sealing element on the second end plate is designed to separate a raw side from a water collecting chamber of the fuel filter. The filter housing has a filter housing body and a cover screwed onto the filter housing body. The filter housing has a bayonet receptacle arranged on its inner side. By rotating the filter element about a filter element longitudinal axis of the filter element, the bayonet protrusion engages the bayonet receptacle of the filter housing when the cover is unscrewed from the filter housing body.

A filter assembly includes an inner filter basket comprising an elongated tubular portion having a first open end and a first closed end. The tubular portion defines a plurality of perforations therethrough. An outer surface of the tubular portion is seamless. A first annular brim extends outwardly from the open end of the tubular portion. The filter assembly also includes an outer filter basket having a second open end in which the inner filter basket is received. A second annular brim extends outwardly from the second open end of the outer filter basket. The first and second brims are configured to retain a fabric filter bag between the inner filter basket and the outer filter basket.
