Provided is a crude oil additive comprising a pyrolysis oil fraction. In some embodiments, the crude oil additive further comprises a dispersant. Also provided are methods of preparing the crude oil additive as well as methods for reducing the viscosity of crude oil and methods for increasing the API gravity of crude oil.

Additives and methods for improving flow properties of crude oil

The invention provides a plurality of methods which may be employed as a single method or a plurality of sequential method steps in the isolation and purification of Cannabidiol from Hemp plants. It also provides methods for having a terpene-rich fraction as a byproduct of the method. Depending upon the ultimate objective, the individual method components may be used separately or combined with one or more method steps to accomplish the objectives.

Methods for isolation and purification of cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes from hemp

Method and apparatus for processing pyrolysis oil from vehicular tires and effecting a steam distillation for separation of the pyrolysis oil to create a lighter fraction which may be subjected to fractional distillation and a heavy fraction which is usable as a fuel oil.

Method and apparatus for steam separation of pyrolysis oils

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for processing to improve the properties of pyrolysis oil and, as a result, the commercial value of the same. The net result is creation of an oil with a much lighter color in lieu of the black color, reducing or elimination the undesired sulfury/amine aroma and reducing the amount of PAH which is believed to be a carcinogen.

Methods and apparatus for monitoring air samples for the presence of the explosive TATP are disclosed. A preferred approach employs proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry PTR-MS). The system may be operated continuously on a real time or near real time basis. A delivery tube of specific dimensions and materials is employed to introduce the sample into the ionization chamber which in turn generates the ions which are delivered to the mass spectrometer for determining the m/z values. The system may employ a plurality of ionization chambers to reduce the amount of false negative identifiers. A multiple inlet ion funnel may be employed to combine the ions from each of the ionization chambers. Chemical ionization may be employed. A validation module may be employed to reduce the amount of false positive identifiers.

Mass spectrometer method and apparatus for monitoring for TATP

Methods for processing pyrolysis oil employs two or more of the following steps: A first separation creates (a) a lighter fraction and heavier fraction, (b) subjecting the lighter fraction to distillation and (c) subjecting the heavy fraction to removal of at least one of sulfur and nitrogen.

Methods of separation of pyrolysis oils

A method for quantitative analysis of asbestos in vermiculite-containing materials includes a first embodiment which includes washing the sample with water or treating the sample with a low concentration acid to digest gypsum and carbonates, ashing the sample at a low temperature to remove cellulose, therefrom and analyzing the sample. Digestion may be effected before or after ashing. Subsequently, a second subsample may be ashed at low temperature to remove cellulose and refluxed with a concentrated acid followed by refluxing with a base and rinsing with deionized water to wash away gypsum, vermiculite and other soluble components. This is followed by analysis to determine asbestos concentration. In a further embodiment, the residue of the first embodiment may be employed as the second subsample.

A scanning electron microscope with an effective vacuum evacuation system and vacuum pump mounting system is disclosed. A manifold having a sufficiently large gas conductance is connected to a gun assembly and to a specimen chamber. A vacuum pump is connected to the manifold for evacuating the gun assembly, specimen chamber and a beam tube. The vacuum pump mounting includes a cylindrical sleeve extending between the vacuum pump and the scanning electron microscope housing with a pair of radial O-rings sealing between the cylindrical sleeve, housing and vacuum pump.

Turbo-pumped scanning electron microscope

A method of simultaneously recording a signal indicative of dynamic digital data, and signals comprising the analog voice and video picture data of a television signal is disclosed. The dynamic digital data is encoded into a signal at audio frequencies between a lower threshold frequency and an upper threshold frequency. The analog audio signal is filtered to remove frequencies between the lower threshold frequency and the upper threshold frequency. The encoded digital data signal and the filtered analog audio signal are combined into a single analog audio signal. The combined audio signal and the video signal are video recorded into a television signal.

Method of making an examination of a specimen by use of a microscope comprises during a first session, conducting a microscopic examination of a specimen by manipulation of the specimen stage while video recording the examination and during a subsequent session, replaying the recording to produce a video image, and manipulating the stage with reference to the video image so that the image observed by use of the microscope is substantially the same as the video image.

Simultaneously recording of video image and microscope stage position

This application relates to a method for preparing specimens for viewing particles and/or fibers captured upon membrane filters with a TEM. The method comprises mounting a section of the membrane filter on a glass slide with a quick drying liquid applied between the filter membrane and the slide which liquid will not release the filter membrane when the slide is immersed in a selected solvent and such that the liquid will not render the filter membrane resistant to the selected solvent. Next, the filter section surface is coated with carbon to replicate the surface of the membrane filter and the particles and fibers thereupon. The coated membrane is then immersed in the selected solvent which will attack the filter material causing the carbon film squares to float off of the memberane filter.

Method of preparing membrane filters for transmission electron microscopy

An apparatus for acetone clearing of cellulose or nitrate membrane filters includes an elongated electric heater element with tubing for transporting acetone coiled around said heater element and in contact therewith. Liquid acetone is introduced to said tubing wherein it is heated by said heater element and acetone vapor is discharged from said tubing. The temperature of the coiled tubing is thermostatically controlled. Acetone vapor is removed from said tubing and passed over a glass slide having an exposed filter containing particulars, such as asbestos fibers. The vapors clear the filter to render it translucent for examination in optical microscopy.
