Graphene production using laser heated crystal growth

Implementations and techniques for producing graphene are generally disclosed. A seed crystal may be affixed to a support substrate such that the seed crystal faces substantially downwardly and such that the formed graphene crystal hangs substantially downwardly. Feedstock may be provided adjacent to the seed crystal, and a laser beam may be applied to heat the seed crystal and the feedstock to grow a graphene crystal.

An ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system and method for treating for treating fluids including a configuration and design to function effectively with at least one UV light source or lamp that is not submerged in the fluid. The UV light source is positioned outside the fluid to be disinfected via exposure to at least one UV dose zone outside the fluid being treated wherein UV light is projected into the at least one dose zone. The UV light source may be presented in a vertical riser configuration, wherein the UV light source is positioned above the fluid to be treated and projecting a UV dose zone downward toward and into the fluid to be treated, with the fluid moving upward toward the UV light source. Alternatively, the UV light source may be presented in a planar or horizontal design, wherein the UV light source is positioned above the fluid to be treated and projecting a WV dose zone downward toward and into the fluid to be treated, with the fluid moving in a direction substantially perpendicular to the UV dose zone. At least one interface plate is used to provide a surface zone for UV disinfection above the fluid and to provide additional treatment means for balancing pH, affecting effluent chemistry, and the like.
