Magnetic decontamination device and method

A device and method for removing metalliferous particles from a powder so that the powder can be reused. A contaminated powder fluid stream flows down tube (6 / 7) into zones A, B and C adjacent the surface of a magnet (4). The flow flows past the surface of the magnet (4) and is directed towards the surface of the magnet (4) by baffles (10A, 10B). The magnet (4) separates metallic particles from powder particles and these metallic particles are removed from the face of the magnet (4) by scraper bars (21) conveyed by endless belts (22) supported by roller sets (23). The device can also include a fan (5) for promoting the movement of air in a counter direction to the delivered powder mixture.

Compositions containing lipid micro- or nanoparticles for the enhancement of the dermal action of solid particles

The invention is related to compositions which can be used as dermal formulations for supporting the skin to restore normal conditions in case of e.g. irritated skin, or to support medical therapy of skin with atopic dermatitis symptoms, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis or related diseases (e.g. accompanied by distorted barrier function of the skin and microbial load). The compositions of the invention can be used for dermo-cosmetic products but also for pharmaceutical / -medical products, depending on the composition and the additional actives incorporated (cosmetic actives or drugs). The invention is based on the synergistic effect of metallic particles, in particular silver particles (such as microsilver, nanosilver) and lipid particles (lipid nanoparticles or lipid microparticles). As alternatives to silver particles, other metallic particles (e.g. zinc, copper) or nanocrystalline actives can be incorporated (e.g. replacing the anti-oxidative silver by anti-oxidative nanocrystals of plant molecules such as hesperitin). This leads to combinations of lipid particles with nanocrystals for dermal use.

Highly electrically conductive surfaces for electrochemical applications

A method is described that can be used in electrodes for electrochemical devices and includes disposing a precious metal on a top surface of a corrosion-resistant metal substrate. The precious metal can be thermally sprayed onto the surface of the corrosion-resistant metal substrate to produce multiple metal splats. The thermal spraying can be based on a salt solution or on a metal particle suspension. A separate bonding process can be used after the metal splats are deposited to enhance the adhesion of the metal splats to the corrosion-resistant metal substrate. The surface area associated with the splats of the precious metal is less than the surface area associated with the top surface of the corrosion-resistant metal substrate. The thermal spraying rate can be controlled to achieve a desired ratio of the surface area of the metal splats to the surface area of the corrosion-resistant metal substrate.
