This document describes an electrode for the electrochemical decontamination of a liquid or a liquid-containing mixture. The electrode has a coating designed to promote the electrochemical decomposition of a contaminant. Furthermore, an electrochemical reactor is provided, also designed for the electrochemical decontamination of a liquid or a liquid-containing mixture. The reactor includes a first electrode, which can be operated as an anode and is designed to promote the electrochemical decomposition of a contaminant. The reactor and the electrode are configured such that the liquid or liquid-containing mixture flows past the electrode and comes into contact with at least a portion of its surface.

A catalytic reactor comprising include a housing coupled with a feedstock source to receive a flow of ammonia in gaseous form that can flow through the catalytic reactor. The housing further comprises

The invention relates to a plastic material comprising at least one polymer that comprises a plurality of chemical bonds that can be broken by a chemically reversible reaction, the chemical bonds being arranged in the polymer so as to obtain a plurality of oligomers having a molecular weight 5 to 20 times lower than that of the polymer after chemical breakdown of the polymer.

The invention comprises an apparatus and / or a method of use thereof for breaking down a waste product in a plasma, comprising the steps of: inputting the waste product through an input line into a plasma housing, the plasma housing containing the plasma; breaking down the waste product into chemical breakdown products in the plasma; generating, with a first sensor, a first signal related to the chemical breakdown products; and controlling, with a main controller provided the first signal, timing of release of the chemical breakdown products from the plasma housing, such as with the optional steps of: detecting, with a spectrometer emission lines originating within the plasma housing and / or generating, with a residual gas analyzer, a signal related to the chemical breakdown products.

This invention relates to the field of protective device technology, specifically to a gas cylinder thermal protection device, comprising: a thermal protection section, including a vertical frame with a detachable base, and an L-shaped bracket detachably mounted on the upper part of the vertical frame, wherein a thermal protection cover aligned with the base is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped bracket; a filling cavity for inserting the gas cylinder body is provided at the axis of the thermal protection cover; this gas cylinder thermal protection device, through the provided thermal protection section, can form a protective structure outside the gas cylinder, wherein the concentric inner and outer cavities, together with the filling material, can achieve the effects of independent protection and mixed protection, reducing the invasion of heat sources into the internal gas cylinder by physically isolating heat transfer and chemically decomposing heat absorption, thus greatly improving the thermal protection performance of the gas cylinder and reducing the probability of gas cylinder explosion caused by external fire sources or high temperatures.

Systems, devices, and methods for a switch comprising two or more contacts, where the switch is configured to transition between an open state and a closed state; and a circuit comprising a snubber circuit in communication with the switch, where a snubber circuit or energy limiting isolator circuit is configured to eliminate arcing during the transition between the closed state and the open state by limiting voltage that prevents arcing sufficient to trigger a chemical breakdown of a surrounding atmosphere on at least one of the two or more contacts.

Described herein is a method for chemically breaking down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), whereby to convert the PFAs to products that are more friendly to the environment than are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Also described are compositions containing PFAs and components that under the conditions described herein effect such breakdown, as well as an apparatus that can be used to effect the chemical transformation.
