Food offering health benefits is much in demand nowadays. One category of such food is called functional food. Functional food has acknowledged health benefits and/or disease preventive abilities and is a common part of the daily diet (Roberfroid, 1999). Fructans (polyfructosylsucroses) are one of the most promising ingredients for functional foods to date; they are present in a normal diet and possess widely recognized benefits for health (Ritsema and Smeekens, 2003). Fructans are considered to be prebiotics as they selectively promote the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria, such as the resident bifidobacteria (Rao, 1999). Furthermore, fructans prevent the formation of aberrant crypt foci (early indication of colon cancer), promote mineral resorption, decrease cholesterol levels and decrease insulin levels (Kaur and Gupta, 2002). Therefore, fructans have been claimed to have favourable effects in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, colon cancer and osteoporosis.
Humans lack the ability to metabolize fructans. Therefore, fructans are also classified as low caloric food ingredients, replacing sugar (short-chain inulin) and/or fat (longer chain inulin).
The inulin-type fructans, which are commercially available, have been used mostly to study health effects. However, recently, it has been reported that neokestose is a superior growth promoter of bifidobacteria than short-chain inulin (Kilian et al., 2002).
To further take advantage of fructans as health-promoting molecules and to meet the increasing demand for different fructan structures, a more cost-effective production of tailor-made fructans is needed.
Fructans are synthesized in several plants and are known for their important role as a carbohydrate reserve. They are synthesized in many economically important orders of Asterales (chicory, Jerusalem artichoke), Liliales (onion, tulip) and Poales (barley, wheat).
Fructan synthesis takes place in the vacuole (Wagner et al., 1983) and is initiated by sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST) (Lüscher et al., 1996; Pollock and Cairns, 1991), which catalyses the fructosyl transfer from one sucrose molecule to another, resulting in the trisaccharide 1-kestose (1-kestotriose). In 1-kestose, the additional fructose moiety is coupled to the fructose residue of sucrose via a β(1–2) linkage. 1-Kestose is used by additional fructosyltransferases to build longer and/or more complex fructans (Ritsema and Smeekens, 2003). The chain length and the linkage type of fructans depend on the kestose-using enzyme. Fructan:fructan 1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT) elongates 1-kestose with additional β(1–2)-linked fructoses, producing inulin (Koops and Jonker, 1996; Van den Ende and Van Laere, 1996). In the presence of fructan:fructan 6G-fructosyltransferase (6G-FFT), neo-kestose (6G-kestotriose) can be formed by the transfer of a fructose residue of 1-kestose to the carbon 6 of the glucose moiety of sucrose (Shiomi, 1981; Vijn et al., 1997). Neokestose can be elongated by 6G-FFT on the two terminal fructose residues, leading to the fructan inulin neo-series (Ritsema et al., 2003).
Previously, it has been shown that the expression of fructosyltransferase genes in plants that do not accumulate fructans leads to the synthesis of fructans (Hellwege et al., 2000; Sévenier et al., 1998). Sugar beet is an economically important plant that lacks the enzymes to produce fructans, but accumulates high levels of the substrate sucrose. Therefore, we introduced a pair of fructosyltransferases from onion, namely 1-SST and 6G-FFT, into sugar beet. This resulted in high-level accumulation of onion-type fructans in the sugar beet.

Taking photographs from the roadside of a sunrise over hay bales near the Suwannee River, horses grazing near Ocala or sunset over citrus groves along the Indian River could land you in jail under a Senate bill filed Monday.
SB 1246 by Sen. Jim Norman, R-Tampa, would make it a first-degree felony to photograph a farm without first obtaining written permission from the owner. A farm is defined as any land "cultivated for the purpose of agricultural production, the raising and breeding of domestic animals or the storage of a commodity."
Media law experts say the ban would violate freedoms protected in the U. S. Constitution. But Wilton Simpson, a farmer who lives in Norman's district, said the bill is needed to protect the property rights of farmers and the "intellectual property" involving farm operations.

Stonington - Three weeks ago, a school bus dropped off 70 New London students in front of New England Science & Sailing on Water Street for a program that exposed many of them to an activity they might not otherwise have access to.
But if that same bus showed up in the borough today, those students would now have to get off at Wadawanuck Square and walk the half-mile to the nonprofit NESS.
That's because two weeks ago, a split borough Board of Warden and Burgesses voted to enact an ordinance that bans school and large tour buses from driving south of Wadawanuck Square.
Now, more than 100 residents upset with the decision have signed a petition that will force a borough meeting later this month in which residents will decide to repeal or modify the ordinance. Warden Paul Burgess, who was on the losing end of a 4-3 vote that would have allowed school buses to go south of Wadawanuck Square with prior permission of the board, said today that the meeting will be held on Saturday, July 14 at 9:30 a.m. at the borough firehouse.
Burgess said the board began discussion of an ordinance because large tour buses occasionally try to navigate the narrow streets in the southern portion of the village as they try to access Stonington Point, clogging up traffic.
In the original proposal there was a provision that allowed the board to exempt school buses from the ban if requested but the board voted 4-3 to remove it.
Burgesses Howard Park III, Kathryn Burchenal, Amy Nicholas and Ed McCreary voted to remove the provision while Burgess and burgesses Rob Scala and Michael Adair wanted to retain it.
Burgess said the ban also affects the Stonington Historical Society as groups come to visit the Lighthouse Museum at Stonington Point.
As passed, the ordinance now bans any bus, including a school bus, longer than 25 feet from operating south of Broad Street. Instead, the buses must drop off and pick up passengers at the southeast corner of Wadawanuck Square.
Buses that are 25 feet long or less can drop off or pick up passengers at Wadawanuck Square, the Town Dock, Stonington Point and other locations with permission from the board. Specialty vehicles 25 feet or less that are transporting students with special needs can discharge or pick up passengers where necessary.
Spike Lobdell, the president of the NESS board, said Sunday that while he would like to see no ordinance at all because of the danger of what will be banned next, he understands that tour buses can clog borough streets.
He said that children going to NESS programs from buses will now have to walk the half mile to and from Wadawanuck Square which will create a safety issue as well as cut into the time the students have in the programs.
He said he would be in favor of a provision that would allow buses longer than 25 feet going to a specific destination for an educational purpose as long as they have prior board approval.
He said he expects several buses a week to access the NESS facility just north of Cannon Square but that would take place during the school year and not during the busy summer tourist season.
Tom Rezendes, the owner of Tom's News, helped collect signatures for the petition in his store.
"What he's doing is great for these kids. Without him they wouldn't have these opportunities," he said about Lobdell and the NESS programs.

Alec Baldwin rants that GLAAD 'killed' his show following homophobic slurs
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.

The arrogance of this man is pretty astounding.
He now thinks that it's someone else's fault that he's been caught using homophobic language to attack people, he seems to be one of those people who is never sorry for his own actions, he's just sorry for himself being caught doing it.
I said it before, but someone really should get this man a decent PR person, armed with duct tape.
He still doesn't seem to understand that it's his own flapping gums and unfiltered bullsh*t that keeps landing him in hot water.
Most rational people would look back on what's happened here and work out the common denominator quite easily – him and his actions and words. It's no one's fault but his own.
I guess it's fair to say that his career is officially over. I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with him after all of this.
I have given this man the benefit of the doubt too many times – but this is the last straw – why are his family so crazy – he's becoming as obnoxious as his religious freak of a younger brother – such a shame he can't keep his vile opinions to himself.
A spoiled child in a man's body.
Bless him!!!
Its abundantly clear that he was forced to use homophobic language. Damn them its all the gays fault for forcing him to use it.
So on behalf of the gay world… Sorry
Sorry that as a grown man you cant see that what you say reflects the type of person you are. Sorry that you have to blame everyone else for your own shortcomings and sorry that you even think that you are the 'victim'.
"And I have to take some responsibility for that myself."
Do that, Baldwin. And then shut up.
GLAAD did not kill his show. That was his warped interpretation of what happened. It was the lack of viewers that caused the network to cancel the show. Always follow the money to find the truth, especially here in the US. I'm sure, just a few years ago, he would have received a flood of viewers for being controversial, but now it's seen as being plain mean spirited. The tv network didn't see any financial future with him. But, rather than believing too many people disliked his words and actions, he twists his little mind into believing it was GLAAD's fault.
This is not much different from Putin believing the social decay of Russia is the fault of Gays, thus fostering of bigoted beliefs to create a second class of citizen as a delusional means of elevating himself and others like minded bigots. Only a coward and/or psycho would feel more "manly" by choosing a weak minority to oppress.
Some people simply REFUSE to accept responsibility for their own actions. Of course, 'The Blame Culture' is an America invention. But really, Mr. Baldwhine, if you don't want to loose your job, you should think VERY carefully before opening your mouth. I note Jonathan Ross is now far more passive than his former ebullient, aggressive, full-of-himself persona …..
Good for MSNBC for doing the right thing. It's a shame that James Arthur's record company are not doing the same thing about his contract.
Alec Baldwin's unique selling proposition was that when he was younger he was hot with a very sexy hairy chest, he no longer has that same USP and needs to tone down his arrogance.
But check this out:
WRONG! Baldwin alone is responsible for getting his show canceled. Sad, that this egotistical jerk cannot see the destruction of his own making.
There have been more than on instance where this guy has "blurted out" homophobic crap. Remember,THIS is the guy who also called his own daughter vile names! He's just a bully,plan and simple. I never liked him,anyway and this is the icing on the cake.
It's not an attack on someone to call them a 'cocksucking fag', it's an insult to all cock sucking fags that you would use the description as an epithet.
I'm a fundamentalist for this distinction? and for being gay and not thinking it cool to suggest homosexuality is shameful?
Glaad I am sure doesn't kill shows which don't display homophobic slurs but his solution to his problem is to alienate the Gay Community further.

This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10/143,139, filed May 10, 2002, which claims priority from U.S. provisional application No. 60/290,413, filed May 11, 2001.
The present invention relates generally to inflatable air mattresses used for medical purposes. More particularly, the present invention relates to an inflatable patient transfer mattress including small holes in a bottom sheet to form a cushion of air beneath the mattress to facilitate sliding of the mattress along an underlying support surface.
The most prevalently produced transfer mattresses at the current time have an array of laterally extending chambers arranged in a generally rectangular pattern in the center of the mattress, with a continuous, rectangular outer chamber extending around the periphery of the mattress. Several embodiments of this type are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,561,873. The top sheet of these transfer mattresses is usually a twill weave nylon fabric coated on one side with urethane to make it vapor permeable but waterproof.
Although these mattresses can be cleaned and disinfected after use with various germicidal cleaning solutions, it is preferable to keep the mattress surfaces protected from contact with infectious or contaminating body fluids. This has been accomplished in prior art air mattresses by providing a sanitary sheet, essentially identical to the top sheet of the mattress, which is folded and inserted in a pouch at the foot end of the mattress. This sheet, referred to as a "sani-liner", is intended to be removed from the pouch and laid over the top sheet of the deflated mattress before the patient is placed upon the mattress. When the mattress is then inflated, the sani-liner sheet protects the top surface of the mattress from potentially infectious material. The sani-liner can later be cleaned and disinfected, folded and returned to the pouch.
In practice, however, when hospital workers sometimes need to use the transfer mattress quickly, they do not always take time to remove the sani-liner from the pouch and cover the top sheet. Furthermore, when the sani-liner is removed or otherwise comes detached, it is often lost and not replaced. Thus, it would helpful to have a removable sanitary cover that is already in place over the top sheet when the mattress is deflated and stored, and that can be removed and cleaned or replaced with another cover after use. Consistent with the above, it would be useful to have a transfer mattress that includes fasteners for attaching various accessories, including sanitary covers, to the mattress.
It would also be useful to have a sectional air mattress comprising at least one inflatable transfer pad, with accessories to facilitate convenient repositioning of a patient in a bed, or to improve the ease of transferring a patient from a bed to a chair and vice versa.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a support pad for an inflatable transfer mattress includes a recess in an upper surface of the support pad for receiving the transfer mattress.
According to one embodiment, the recess of the support pad extends into the support pad from the upper surface of the support pad to a depth such that an upper surface of an inflatable transfer mattress received in the recess of the support pad is substantially flush with the upper surface of the support pad when the transfer mattress is in a deflated condition.
According to another embodiment, the recess of the support pad is adapted for receiving an inflatable transfer mattress having an accessory located on an upper surface of the transfer mattress. The recess extends into the support pad from the upper surface of the support pad such that an upper surface of the accessory on the transfer mattress is substantially flush with the upper surface of the support pad.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided an overlay for supporting a substantially rectangular patient transfer mattress on an underlying support member having longitudinal and transverse dimensions that exceed those of the patient transfer mattress. The overlay comprises a pad body including upper and lower surfaces defining a thickness therebetween and opposite sides and ends respectively defining a transverse width and a longitudinal length. The overlay also comprises a substantially rectangular recess in the upper surface of the pad body for receiving a transfer mattress. The recess in the pad body of the overlay has a transverse width and longitudinal length with respect to the pad body that are less than the width and length of the pad body such that the pad body includes side and end portions extending outwardly from a periphery of the recess. Preferably, the recess in the overlay pad body is substantially centrally located with respect to both the width and length of the pad body.
According to another aspect of the invention, the support pad is sectioned and comprises a pad body having at least one pad portion detachably connected to the pad body. The pad portion forms part of a periphery defined by the recess when the pad portion is connected to the pad body to facilitate sliding removal of a patient transfer mattress from the recess of pad body when the pad portion is detached from the pad body.
According to one embodiment, the pad body is substantially rectangular defining opposite sides and ends and the support pad includes side and end portions respectively located along the opposite sides and ends of the recess. Each of the end portions may be detachably connected to the pad body to facilitate lengthwise removal of a transfer mattress from either end of the recess. Alternatively, each of the side portions may be detachably connected to the pad body for sidewise removal of transfer mattress from either side of the recess.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements shown.
Referring now to the figures, there is shown in
The fasteners may be any type of fastener capable of attaching an accessory to the mattress 12 and the type of fastener may vary depending on the type of accessory. The fasteners may also be located anywhere on the mattress 12 or attached to the mattress 12 in any manner suitable in light of the accessory. In the embodiment depicted in
The various types of accessories that may be attached to a transfer mattress are generally unlimited. By way of example, some preferred accessories include various types of covers, such as a non-absorbent sanitary cover, a washable absorbent cover or a disposable cover. Another useful accessory is a flexible body litter with carry handles. Other possible accessories include a wrap for wrapping around a patient or a garment worn by the patient to assist in moving the patient together with the transfer device; a cushion; an inflatable air mattress with a pressure control valve; an inflatable air mattress with pulsating pressure control; a non-inflatable mattress; and a therapeutic pad.
In an embodiment where the selected accessory is a cushion, the cushion may be releasably attached to the inflatable mattress or the cushion and mattress may be constructed as a single unit.
In embodiments where there is an inflatable air mattress, a top surface of the inflatable mattress may be inclined so that the head of a patient lying horizontally on the mattress is at a higher point with respect to a supporting surface than the feet.
Referring now to
The body litter 30, or any other accessory, may be attached to the transfer mattress 12 using any type of fastener or suitable means of fastening. The selected accessory and mattress may alternatively be fixedly attached or otherwise constructed as a single unit. In
A preferred body litter 31 is shown in
In a transfer device, the transfer mattress has a bottom sheet with a pattern of tiny holes to allow the escape of air supplied into the mattress by a low-pressure air supply. The air supplied to the transfer mattress escapes through the holes, providing a weight-bearing cushion to facilitate sliding the mattress along a surface as well as from one surface to another. In
In the embodiment shown in
The transfer and inflatable mattresses may be constructed in any shape or size. For example, the transfer mattress may be constructed so that the apex distance between top and bottom sheets, when the pads are inflated, is greater outboard of the seam than in the array of transverse chambers to bias the patient towards the center of the pad by creating the effect of an inverted pontoon at each longitudinal side of the array.
Moving to
Once the patient is in-place on pad 64, the top pad 62 may be removed. The pad 64 supporting the patient's torso is then inflated and slid upward so the patient is again properly positioned in the bed. The pad 62 is then reattached at the bottom of pad 64. The process may be repeated as necessary. Alternatively, if appropriate, after the top pad 62 is removed, it may be reattached and then inflated so that both pads 62 and 64 are used to reposition the patient as desired. Of course, the pads 62, 64 may also be inflated to move the patient from the bed to another supporting surface.
The embodiment of the invention shown in
The pads 62, 64 may include a top sheet and a bottom sheet, the top and bottom sheets being attached to each other by internal fabric strips forming a generally rectangular array of transverse air chambers supported at each longitudinal side thereof by a longitudinally-extending side air chamber. In such cases, the fasteners may generally be located outboard of the seams defined by the transition between the transverse chambers and the side chambers.
A transfer mattress, inflatable mattress, sectioned mattress, and inflatable pads, may be constructed to keep a patient level with respect to a supporting surface. When a patient is laying horizontally, the patient's torso typically imposes the greatest load on a mattress. This is of particular significance for air mattresses. If an air mattress is not constructed to properly support the patient's torso with respect to his feet and head, a patient may be forced to lay on the mattress with his feet and/or head above his torso, which is uncomfortable and could result in potentially harmful spinal flex. Therefore, it is desirable to construct the interior of an air mattress similar to what is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,561,873. In the '873 patent, the interior of an air mattress is constructed so that the amount of air pressure provided at various parts of the mattress correspond to the load to keep the patent substantially horizontal with respect to an underlying surface.
Referring now to
The patient transfer device 68 is shown open is

Referring to
As shown in
The support pad 162 is shown comprising a solid interior, which could be any material such as a cotton-fill or a gel, for example. It is not a requirement, however, that the interior of support pad 162 comprise a solid material. It is within the scope of the invention that the interior of the support pad could comprise an inflatable chamber, or chambers.

MTU Onsite Energy Corp., a Rolls-Royce Power Systems company providing diesel and gas-based power system solutions, has announced the launch of a new youth apprentice program. Details as follows:
The vocational training program is designed for high school juniors and seniors and will combine hands-on training in a manufacturing setting with classroom instruction. The program will begin this fall, in partnership with Mankato Area Public Schools, South Central College, Kato Cable, a full service cable assembly company, and EI Microcircuits, an electronics design and manufacturing company.
The new youth apprenticeship program will launch with junior and senior-level students at Mankato East and West High Schools who have completed prerequisite coursework in welding, mechatronics and engineering design at the South Central College, a Minnesota community and technical college with campuses in North Mankato and Faribault. Accepted students will benefit from on-the-job training under the supervision of highly-skilled trade professionals, as well as a specialized industrial mechanic classroom curriculum.
Upon completion of the program, students will be armed with the skills and experience needed to join the workforce or pursue a post-secondary degree after graduation. Apprenticeship programs can lead to well-paying careers as engineers, machinists, electricians and applications developers.
"Having skilled talent on the production floor allows manufacturers to remain innovative and produce globally competitive products," said Todd Riemann, president, MTU Onsite Energy. "Manufacturing is the backbone of Minnesota's economy. It not only helps drive economic growth for the state, but also the region, so it is critical that we take responsibility to grow and cultivate our own talent pool to keep up with product demand and rapidly advancing technologies."
"We are very excited to be working with partners who are committed to providing increased opportunities for our students outside of the classroom," said Dr. Heather Mueller, director of teaching and learning, Mankato Area Public Schools.
"We appreciate the investment of MTU Onsite Energy and our broader manufacturing community in this program, look forward to bolstering the manufacturing talent pipeline, and are pleased to provide support for students as they transition from our schools into the workforce."

Various techniques are known for carrying out Claus reactions (oxidation of H2 S by means of oxygen or sulfur dioxide):
according to a first technique in gaseous phase, the reactants are passed through an either purely thermal or catalytic reaction zone at a temperature higher than the sulfur dew point. This technique does not provide for a thorough elimination of sulfur compounds.
Another technique, in liquid phase, carried out according to scheme (II) as above, consists of contacting H2 S and SO2 with a liquid phase, for example molten sulfur or an organic solvent such as a glycol, a polyglycol, a heavy alcohol, a heavy ether, a heavy ester or a phosphoric ester, which may contain a catalyst, at a temperature usually lower than 200� C. This technique provides for a more thorough purification than the first technique; they can be, accordingly, associated to each other: the effluent obtained from the first technique being treated according to the second technique.
However, in most cases, these effluents still contain a too high proportion of sulfur compounds, in view of the requirements of the present anti-pollution regulations.
The object of the invention is to lower the sulfur content of the effluents from sulfur producing units operated in gaseous phase. These effluents contain sulfur, mainly as H2 S and SO2 and, possibly, elemental sulfur, COS and CS2.
The process according to the invention for purifying a gas containing H2 S and SO2 and issued from a unit (A) for producing sulfur by oxidizing hydrogen sulfide by means of molecular oxygen or sulfur dioxide, comprises a step known per se, of at least partially removing sulfur dioxide, so as to form a gas of lower sulfur dioxide content which contains a substantial amount of hydrogen sulfide, passing the latter gas over a mass for the absorption of hydrogen sulfide, periodically interrupting the contact of the gas with said mass, subsequently passing over the same a gas containing molecular oxygen for regenerating it, recovering the effluent sulfur dioxide containing gas from the regeneration step and feeding this gas to a unit (B) for producing sulfur where it is reacted with hydrogen sulfide. Preferably, unit (B) is not separate from unit (A) as defined above.
Any mass capable to absorb H2 S and to be regenerated by a stream of gas containing free oxygen can be used. Desulfurizing masses which are particularly efficient are described in the patent application filed on the same day for "A process for purifying a gas containing hydrogen sulfide and contact masses usable therefore" Ser. No. 641,352 whose subject matter is incorporated herein by way of reference.
The preferred masses contain by weight, from 20 to 85% (preferably from 25 to 80%) of zinc oxide, calculated as ZnO, from 0.9 to 50% of alumina, calculated as Al2 O3 and from 2 to 45% of an oxide of a group IIA metal, calculated as oxide, with or without additional elements.
The metal from group IIA is, for example, magnesium, barium or preferably calcium.
The preferred additional elements may be silica, in a proportion from 0.1 to 30% by weight and/or one or more oxides of metals M, in a preferred proportion from 1 to 20% by weight, these metals being for example: copper, cadmium, titanium, zirconium, vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, iron, cobalt and/or nickel. The presence of oxides of metals M is favorable to the absorption of sulfur compounds, particularly COS and CS2.
These preferred masses may be obtained by admixing a zinc compound, for example a zinc oxide or carbonate, with an aluminium compound and a compound of metal from group IIA, shaped and roasted, for example, at 500� - 1000� C. A major portion of the ZnO in the final mass remains uncombined.
The alumina and the metal from group IIA are preferably introduced in the form of clay or cement, for example a refractory cement containing from 40 to 85% of alumina and from 10 to 40% of oxide of metal IIA, for example calcium oxide with or without silica at least 50% of the group IIA metal oxide being in the form of an aluminate or a silico-aluminate.
The desulfurizing masses may be used in fixed bed, in movable bed or in fluid bed.
The removal of SO2 from the treated gas having been preliminarily achieved by known means (hydrogenation or conversion to sulfur) which will be further described in detail hereinafter, the gas is contacted with the desulfurizing mass, on which H2 S and optionally COS and CS2 are absorbed. The absorption mechanism is not well-known. A probable reaction, in the case of masses containing zinc oxide, is as follows:
ZnO + H2 S⃡ZnS + H2 O
the absorption step is conducted at a temperature from 300� to 800� C, preferably from 400� to 550� C. The inlet pressure is generally higher than the atmospheric pressure in order to compensate for the pressure drops which are generated in the different reactors of the plant.
The VVH (Volume of gas per volume of absorbing mass and per hour) is usually from 50 to 20,000, preferably from 100 to 10,000.
The process can be used for the treatment of a gas containing also steam, for example in a proportion from 1 to 50% by volume, which results in a significant economical advantage. In the presence of large amounts of steam, for example from 20 to 50% by volume, it may be advantageous to conduct the absorption of H2 S, COS, CS2 at the lowest temperature compatible with the activity of the absorbing mass. In certain cases, it may be of advantage to condense at least a portion of said water, so as to conform with still more favorable conditions of use of said masses.
The effluent may thus be made substantially free from H2 S contained therein, so that it no longer contain sulfur compounds except as traces. It may be discharged to the atmosphere, optionally after having been burnt.
When the absorbing mass is saturated with sulfur, for example in the form of zinc sulfide, the flow of gas containing H2 S is interrupted and the mass is regenerated by passing in contact therewith an oxygen containing gas, for example air, at a relatively high temperature, for example from 400� to 1200� C, preferably 450�-900� C; there can be used, for example, a portion of the air required for feeding the sulfur production unit. If the air available is not sufficiently hot, it can be advantageous to use the effluent from a H2 S burner operated with oxygen in excess, in order to avoid any unnecessary introduction of other combustion products in the unit. A burner fed with hydrocarbons could also be convenient. The VVH during the regeneration step is, for example, from 100 to 10,000.
There is recovered an effluent gas containing SO2 and also, usually, an excess of oxygen, while the mass recovers its absorbing properties with respect to H2 S. According to the invention, this effluent can be fed to the sulfur manufacturing unit, where it supplies, partly, the oxidizing gas (SO2, O2) feed. It can also be fed upstream the burner of the sulfur producing unit, where it partially or completely supplies the oxygen feed. During the regeneration step, it may be advantageous to withdraw, either periodically or continuously, a portion thereof which is fed back to the inlet of the reactor containing the mass in course of regeneration.
The unit is advantageously provided with two reactors RA and RB, connected in series, filled up with a fresh or a regenerated mass. When reactor RA no longer absorbs noticeable amounts of H2 S, it is bypassed. Reactor RB, takes the place of reactor RA while a third reactor RC, identical to RA and RB, is connected in series with reactor RB. While the unit is operated with RB and RC, RA is subjected to regeneration. It is also possible to make use of only two reactors, one being in operation for absorption and the other in regeneration.
The step for sulfur dioxide removal, according to a technique known per se, comprises, for example, a step of catalytic hydrogenation of SO2 to H2 S or a step of reacting SO2 with H2 S according to the liquid phase process of sulfur manufacture.
The hydrogenation consists of passing a stream of SO2 containing gas with a reducing gas into contact with a hydrogenation catalyst at a temperature from 150� to 600� C, preferably close to 450� C, so as to convert sulfur dioxide to hydrogen sulfide.
As reducing gas to be used in said step it is preferred to use hydrogen but there can also be used a natural gas, such as methane or a mixture of methane with light hydrocarbons, or still a synthetic gas as carbon monoxide or a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
This step is preferably conducted in the presence of a catalyst deposited on a carrier and which contains one or more metals and particularly, oxides or sulfides of metals selected preferably from groups VIA, particularly molybdenum or tungsten and/or VIII (iron group) of the periodic classification of elements according to Societe Chimique de France. Other metals such as copper, silver, vanadium, manganese, rhenium and zinc can also be used, either alone or in association with the preceding metals, in the form of metals or metal compounds. We will mention, for example, vanadium oxides, iron, nickel or cobalt sulfides, associations of metals such as manganese, chromium and molybdenum, or still copper and V2 O5. A preferred association comprises cobalt and molybdenum deposited on alumina.
The inorganic oxide carrier which is preferably used, for depositing these catalytic elements, consists, for example, of alumina, magnesia, silica, bauxite, kieselguhr, thoria or zirconia, either alone or as mixtures. More generally, we use alumina carriers of specific surface from 2 to 350 m2 g-1 having a total pore volume from 10 ml/100 g to 60 ml/100 g. The content of metals, expressed as oxides, is for example, from 1 to 20% by weight. The amount of catalyst used in said step is preferably such that the VVH be in the range from 100 to 2,000, and advantageously close to 500 (By VVH, it is meant the volume of treated gas per volume of catalyst and per hour).
When SO2 is removed by reaction with H2 S according to the liquid phase process of sulfur manufacture, for example as described in the French Pat. No. 1,592,092, it is advantageous that the molecular ratio of H2 S to SO2 at the inlet of the reaction zone, be higher than 2. As a matter of fact, there will be obtained, after treatment, an effluent which contains the less SO2 as the ratio is higher.
The two above-mentioned processes for removing SO2 may be combined by proceeding to liquid phase production of sulfur, followed with hydrogenation.
The following examples are given for illustrating the invention:
A Claus type unit for sulfur production in gaseous phase, producing 90 metric tons/day of sulfur, discharges 10,000 Nm3 /hour (Nm3 means that the volume is measured under normal conditions of temperature and pressure) of a fume having the following composition by volume:
______________________________________SO2 0.50 %H2 S 1.15 %CO2 4 %H2 O 29 %S vapor and vesicular 0.15 % (expressed as S1)N2 65.20 %______________________________________
This fume is fed to a reactor containing a reaction medium consisting of PEG 400 (polyethyleneglycol having an average molecular weight of 400) with the addition of sodium benzoate (6.5 g/Kg of PEG 400) and where the temperature is 120� C. The solvent is recirculated through the reactor and countercurrently contacts the fume, thereby ensuring the good efficiency of the operation. Sulfur is formed and discharged from the bottom of the reactor and there is recovered at the upper portion a gaseous effluent which contains only, as sulfur compounds, by volume:
After reheating at 500� C, this effluent, slightly compressed, passes through a reactor R1 containing 10.2 tons of a mass prepared according to the teaching of the Patent application filed this day, by admixing, malaxing with water and extruding the following composition:
______________________________________ZnO 40 % (by weight)Aluminous cementSUPER SEGAR 60 % comprising Al2 O3 48 % CaO 11.4 % SiO2 0.06 % Fe2 O3 + Na2 O + K2 O + Mn2 O3 0.54 % + TiO2______________________________________
This mass, formed of extrudates having a diameter of 6mm, preroasted for 2 hours at 600� C, has a filling density of 1.18 T/m3 and a crushing strength, measured on ERWEKA machine, higher than 1.7 Kg/mm.
It is observed that the sulfur content of the gases, at the outlet of the reactor, is close to 500 ppm (by volume). Said gases are burnt before being discharged to the atmosphere.
After 24 hours of operation, reactor R1 is disconnected from the circuit of the unit and the fume then passes through reactor R2 which was connected to the outlet of reactor R1. A reactor R3 is connected at the outlet of reactor R2, and regeneration of R1 takes place. Through this latter reactor a gas stream is passed for 2 hours at a rate of about 500 m3 /h, at 600� C, said gas stream resulting from the combustion of hydrogen sulfide with air in excess. Then air is passed, at room temperature, for 22 hours, over said mass. The resulting fume is introduced upstream the sulfur producing unit, in gaseous phase, the oxygen and SO2 contained therein being deducted from the air feed of the unit.
The treatment is performed on 10,000 Nm3 /h of a fume produced in a sulfur producing unit of the Claus type, said fume having the following composition by volume:
______________________________________SO2 0.41 %H2 S 0.78 %CO2 3.6 %COS 0.25 %CS2 0.10 %H2 O 29 %H2 2 %S vapor and vesicular 0.15 % (expressed as S1)N2 63.71 %______________________________________
This fume is reheated before its introduction into the hydrogenation reactor where the temperature is close to 450� C and the pressure slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure in order to compensate for the pressure drops. The reactor contains 10 m3 of alumina on which has been deposited, by weight, 3% of NiO and 14% of MoO3 and which has a specific surface of 277 m2 /g.
There is thus obtained an effluent containing 1.80% by volume of H2 S, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, steam and nitrogen.
This effluent is fed to a reactor in which the temperature is about 500� C and which contains 64 tons of a mass consisting of:
______________________________________ZnO 60.03 % (b.w.)Alumina cement LUMNITE 5.00 %Cement SUPER-SECAR 34.97 % ,______________________________________
These two cements providing:
______________________________________Al2 O3 30.04 %CaO 8.48 %SiO2 0.51 %Fe2 O3 0.60 %Na2 O + K2 O + MgO + Mn2 O3 + TiO2 0.34 %______________________________________
said mass consists of extrudates having a diameter of 5 mm, which have been roasted for 2 hours at 600� C, has a filling density of 1.08 T/m3 and a crushing strength, measured on ERWEKA machine, higher than 1.3 Kg/mm.
The H2 S content of the gas, after this treatment, is lower than 200 ppm by volume.
This gas is finally passed into an incinerator containing 1.5 m3 of a catalyst bed consisting of alumina on which has been deposited by weight, 4% of V2 O5 an 3.5% of Fe2 O3, so as to convert the sulfur contained therein to SO2 before discharging it to atmposhere.
The reactor is operated for 24 hours before proceeding to regeneration by passing, at about 600� C, for 2 hours, over the absorbing mass, a gas stream obtained by combustion of H2 S with an excess of air, at a rate of 6000 m3 /h, about 50% of said air being continuously recycled through the mass. Then, an air stream is passed, at room temperature, for 22 hours. During this time, as in example 1, the unit is operated with two other reactors containing the same weight of a similar absorbing mass.
The effluent from said regeneration step is fed upstream the burner of the Claus type unit.
10,000 Nm3 /h of a fume discharged from a sulfur producing unit (90 T/day) and having the following composition:
______________________________________SO2 0.37 %H2 S 0.82 %CO2 3.6 %COS 0.25 %CS2 0.10 %H2 O 29. %H2 2 %S vapor and vesicular 0.15 % (expressed as S1)N2 63.71 %______________________________________
is introduced into a reaction vessel containing a reaction medium consisting of PEG 400 to which sodium benzoate has been added (6.4 g/Kg of PEG 400), in which the temperature is 120� C. The solvent is recirculated through the reactor and countercurrently contacts the fume. Sulfur is formed which is discharged from the bottom of the reactor and there is recovered, at the upper portion, an effluent gas containing 6150 ppm by volume of sulfur compounds, a major part as H2 S.
Said effluent is reheated at a temperature close to 350� C, before passing through a reduction reactor containing a catalyst bed consisting of alumina on which is deposited, by weight, 3% of CoO and 14% of MoO3 and having a specific surface of 277 m2 /g.
Sulfur and sulfur compounds (other than H2 S) are converted to H2 S whose proportion by volume at the outlet of the reactor is 0.615%.
This effluent is then passed through a reactor containing 14.5 tons of an absorbing mass such as described in example 2. The temperature is then about 400� C.
At the outlet, the gas only contains 300 ppm (by volume) of total sulfur. Prior to discharging it to atmosphere, it is incinerated so that only SO2 is discharged.
After 24 hours of operation, the absorbing mass is regenerated as indicated in example 1. 2000 m3 /h of air, heated to about 600� C, are required in such case. The recovered effluent is fed upstream the sulfur producing unit.
10,000 Nm3 /h of a fume having the same composition as that of example 3, is treated in the same manner for removing the major part of the sulfur contained therein. At the outlet of the reactor for the conversion of acid gases to sulfur in PEG 400, the effluent fume contains by volume, 6150 ppm of sulfur compounds, a major portion of which is H2 S.
It is reheated at a temperature close to 350� C before being passed over an absorbing mass in an amount of 13.75 tons, having the following composition:
______________________________________ZnO 60.00 %V2 O5 1.50 %Fe2 O3 1.50 %BaO 2.00 %TiO2 2.00 %Aluminous cementSUPER SECAR 33.00 % which provides: Al2 O3 26.40 % CaO 6.27 % SiO2 0.03 % Miscellaneous 0.30 %______________________________________
This mass, consisting of extrudates of a 6mm diameter which have been preroasted for 3 hours at 610� C, has a filling density of 1.13 T/m3 and a crushing strength, measured on ERWEKA machine, higher than 1.6 Kg/mm.
The temperature is about 500� C. A gas is recovered whose sulfur content is 650 ppm by volume and it is burnt before being discharged to atmosphere.
The operation is terminated as in example 3, which requires, in the present case, 2000 m3 /h of air preheated to about 600� C.

The National
High Violet
Releasing: 11 May
If you've been counting the days since 2007's Boxer and can't stand the suspense over its follow-up any longer, the National is streaming its latest long-player High Violet in its entirety at the New York Times. Upping the smoldering intensity of Boxer, if that's possible, leaked tracks like the imposing "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and the haunting "Afraid of Everyone" won't disappoint anyone who has been eagerly awaiting new material from the band. And while the new songs sound impressive in their own right, you'll now be able to hear them in the context of the album, which is the best way to listen to a band that's devoted to big picture storytelling like the National. For those who are a little more patient, you can wait a couple of weeks until the proper release of High Violet on May 11.

Apple manufacturing partner Hon Hai—better known as Foxconn—has bought in to Japanese firm Sharp. According to a Reuters report, Hon Hai took around a ten percent share of the company, and may use its new stake as extra leverage in attempting to win orders of Apple's rumored TV set. "Hon Hai is already the assembler of Apple's iPhone and iPad, it needs the next driver, which is Apple TV," said Yuanta Securities analyst Vincent Chen. "It's something that [Hon Hai founder] Terry Gou cannot afford not to do. But this is a very big gamble." The report goes on to note that the newly formed relationship between Hon Hai and Sharp may give the latter a leg up in bids for Apple display orders, as Hon Hai/Sharp may be in a position to offer superior pricing. Sharp currently supplies Apple with Retina Displays for the third-generation iPad.
