A device for the thermal treatment of material comprises a housing having a heatable housing jacket, which surrounds a treatment chamber and forms a rotationally symmetrical treatment surface extending in an axial direction, and a drivable rotor, which is arranged in the treatment chamber and extends coaxially. The rotor comprises a shaft, arranged in a manner distributed over the circumference of which are spreading elements. The device also comprises a condensation space, in which a condenser is formed and into which gaseous material components escaping from the material during the thermal treatment can pass, a condensate outlet for discharging the material components condensed in the condensation space, and a vacuum connection, which is fluidically connected to the condensation space. The vacuum connection is arranged in a region of the housing that lies downstream of the treatment surface, as viewed in the transport direction of the material.

Producing nanostructure materials in a thin film reactor (TFR) from starting material of inorganic or organic material of layered or two dimensional (2D) structure or inorganic material transformed in situ into 2D inorganic material, or single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and a solvent or liquid phase. The TFR can be a vortex fluidic device (VFD) or a device with spaced first and second fluid contact surfaces, which can be conical, for relative rotation to generate shear stress in the thin film therebetween. A liquid supply means delivers a liquid between the first and second fluid contact surfaces. The composition can be exposed to laser energy. The thin film reactor can form graphene, graphene oxide, scrolls, tubes, spheres or rings of the layered or 2D material.

Exemplary systems and methods associated with activating fluids using indirect plasma. In particular, liquid can be activated to high concentrations and at high volumes by thinning and mixing the liquid as it is exposed to the plasma, resulting more efficient activation. Further increases in activation can be reached by re-circulating fluid for additional exposure to the plasma. High flow rates can be achieved with integrated systems that utilize multiple activation systems with coordinated control.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a zeolitic material, as well as to a catalyst per se as obtainable or obtained according to said process. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the zeolitic material, in particular as a catalyst.

Provided are an immediately-before-stirring-type fluid processing device and an immediately-before-stirring-type fluid processing method that can adjust or improve the final properties of a fluid to be processed that is introduced as a raw material into an annular flow channel of a microreactor employing the annular flow channel, which is formed between relatively rotating processing surfaces, as a flow channel in which fluid processing is performed. A fluid to be processed, which has been prepared in a fluid preparing system so as to be in an ideal state for reaction, is charged into a fluid processing device. The fluid processing device subjects the fluid to be processed to reaction processing in an annular flow channel, which is formed between two processing surfaces. A cylindrical stirring space is provided in the radially inner side of the annular flow channel, and a rotor and a screen are disposed inside the stirring space. Stirring energy is applied by the rotor and a shearing force is applied between the rotor and the screen to the fluid to be processed immediately before the fluid to be processed is introduced into the annular flow channel.
