Disclosed are a large-scale composite synthesis system, a reactor therefor, and a synthesis method using the same, wherein two or more different samples are vaporized in respective vaporizers, and are then fed into a reactor that has a relatively large transverse cross-sectional diameter compared to the connector for transporting the samples in a gas phase and is maintained at a temperature lower than that of the connector, thus producing a powder composite, the composite being synthesized while being electrostatically attached to an adherend surface.

The invention relates to a method of closed-loop control of the temperature in a chemical engineering apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401), in which, in a primary circuit (102, 202, 302, 402), a liquid is conveyed out of the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401), fed at least partly to a heat transferer (103, 203, 303, 403) and recycled at least partly back to the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401), where the heat transferer (103, 203, 303, 403) is cooled or heated by a heat transfer medium in a secondary circuit (104, 204, 304, 404), comprising the steps of: providing a target value for the temperature of the liquid in the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401), detecting an actual value for the temperature of the liquid in the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401) and calculating the temperature difference between the actual value and the target value of the liquid in the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401).
According to the invention, a heat flow taken from or added to the liquid in the primary circuit (102, 202, 302, 402) by the heat transferer (103, 203, 303, 403) is ascertained, a control signal is calculated on the basis of a defined closed-loop control algorithm, where the closed-loop control algorithm is configured such that the control signal is dependent on the heat flow and the temperature difference between the actual value and the target value of the liquid in the apparatus (101, 201, 301, 401), and the flow rate of the stream of liquid through the heat transferer (103, 203, 303, 403) in the primary circuit (102, 202, 302, 402) and/or a flow rate of the heat transfer medium through the heat transferer in the secondary circuit (104, 204, 304, 404) is/are manipulated on the basis of the control signal.

Disclosed is a method for the integrated production of two different urea products. One is an aqueous urea solution suitable for use in NOx abatement (generally indicated as Diesel Exhaust FluidDEF). The other is a solution used as a fertilizer, viz. Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN). The production of DEF and UAN are integrated as follows: ammonia recovered from the production of urea is used as a feed to the production of ammonium nitrate. At least part of an aqueous urea stream from urea prodution, is mixed with ammonium nitrate so as to obtain UAN.

Embodiments provide a methane microporous carbon adsorbent including a thermally-treated CVD carbon having a shape in the form of a negative replica of a crystalline zeolite has a BET specific surface area, a micropore volume, a micropore to mesopore volume ratio, a stored methane value and a methane delivered value and a sequential carbon synthesis method for forming the methane microporous carbon adsorbent. Introducing an organic precursor gas for a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) period to a crystalline zeolite that is maintained at a CVD temperature forms the carbon-zeolite composite. Introducing a non-reactive gas for a thermal treatment period to the carbon-zeolite composite maintained at a thermal treatment temperature forms the thermally-treated carbon-zeolite composite. Introducing an aqueous strong mineral acid mixture to the thermally-treated carbon-zeolite composite forms the methane microporous carbon adsorbent.
