From ship to shore - Dust free handling and storage of Bulk Solids
News is available from Taymark on the design and operation of systems for loading and unloading ships with bulk solids. The transfer and handling design for this duty is key to successful projects in this technology. For copies of the design concept please e-mail tay4@btinternet.comThis is technology which is vital to the modern economy.Bulk carriers these days are capable of carrying up to 150 000 tonnes of bulk solids such as coal, iron ore or grain. They are often loaded and unloaded in environmentally sensitive locations such as ports close to housing and city centres. The operators of the handling systems also need safe designs to be protected from dust.
Nanoparticulate ammonium salts from the gas phase
Ammonia can form salts with many strong and weak acids. In finely divided form they can give useful benefits such as fire retardancy, coatings, and pH buffering.The millimicron size can be synthesised from the gas phase in an inert non-aqueous solvent.
They can also be formed by sublimation from the solid phase by heating
For example, NH3 + HCl --> NH4Cl
Ammonium Chloride is used in dry cell batteries, metal finishing and textile preparation.

Catalytic Converters
A catalytic converter is a device used to reduce the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. First widely introduced on production automobiles in the US market for the 1975 model year to comply with tightening regulations on auto exhaust, catalytic converters are still most commonly used in motor vehicle exhaust systems. Special knowledge is needed to design these systems and an article is available from Taymark.For copies please e-mail tay4@btinternet.com Click here to see a short presentation
Nanoparticle Technology
An article is available on request showing the main routes for synthesis and some potential applications of nanoparticles. This is a rapidly growing area and much over-hyped so a cool appraisal of the technology is required. Click here to see a short presentation
