Apparatuses, devices and methods for creating a high level disinfectant, comprising peracetic acid for disinfecting medical devices are disclosed. The peracetic acid solution is made from a reaction of tetraacetylethylenecUamine powder, sodium percarbonate, and citric acid moHohydrate in water.

Systems and methods for using solid high-level disinfection chemistries to producing disinfectant solutions. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a first container and a second container. The first container is configured to receive water, sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine. The water, the sodium percarbonate, the tetraacetylethylenediamine react within the first container to produce a mixture comprising peroxyacetic acid. The second container is in fluid communication with the first container, wherein the second container is configured to receive an acid and the mixture. The mixture and the acid mix in the second container to produce a disinfectant solution having a pH between 5.0 and 7.0.

An apparatus suitable for investigating solid catalysts and processes in which discontinuous fluid streams arise, the apparatus including: a reactant fluid supply point; a reaction space; at least one fluid mixing space; at least one throttle element; at least one pressure control valve; and at least one analyzer. An outlet side of the reaction space is operatively connected to the fluid mixing space via a connecting line and a substream line. The fluid mixing space is connected to the throttle element. The throttle element is operatively connected to the analyzer and an outlet line. The connecting line is operatively connected to the pressure control valve and an exit air line. The pressure control valve is arranged either downstream or upstream of the substream line. When the pressure control valve is upstream of the substream line, the outlet line is provided with a second pressure control valve and a pump.

The disclosure relates to microchemical (or microfluidic) apparatus as well as related methods for making the same. The methods generally include partial sintering of sintering powder (e.g., binderless or otherwise free-flowing sintering powder) that encloses a fugitive phase material having a shape corresponding to a desired cavity structure in the formed apparatus. Partial sintering removes the fugitive phase and produces a porous compact, which can then be machined if desired and then further fully sintered to form the final apparatus. The process can produce apparatus with small, controllable cavities shaped as desired for various microchemical or microfluidic unit operations, with a generally smooth interior cavity finish, and with materials (e.g., ceramics) able to withstand harsh environments for such unit operations.

What is disclosed relates to a novel reactor system design for chemical looping solar fuel production processes incorporating temperature swing between two or more zones, wherein two or more individual reactors are employed, and heat is recuperated between the reactors by means including radiative heat exchange. Each individual reactor comprising the overall system is isolated from other reactors and the external environment for gas exchange purposes, so that the inflow and outflow of chemical species from individual reactors can be controlled. Individual reactors are arranged in the form of a moving train, and heat exchange between a pair of reactors is facilitated by radiative exchange. External heat addition and removal between the system and its environment may be achieved by means including radiative heat exchange with the hot source and convective exchange with the cold source. This may include, in a particular embodiment, the use of solar irradiation. The disclosure also includes procedures for operating such a system.
