Title:
MAGNETO ABSORBENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000038831
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A molecular sieve apparatus and magnetic/absorbent material composition facilitate molecular absorption and separation using a magnetic field to hold, move, cool, and/or heat an absorbent (1) that is bonded to magnetic materials (3) that are moveable by a magnetic field. An absorbent (1) is bonded to a soft magnetic material (3) with a binder (2) into a powder composite material absorbent that is attractable by a magnetic field. This new composite powder is referred to hereinafter as a magnetoabsorbent (4). The magnetoabsorbent (4) functions to absorb and deabsorb working substances, causing a molecular separation; thus, increasing the efficiency of the absorption cycle by moving the absorbent (1) to a location that processes the absorbent (1) in the most optimized conditions. Magnetic field manipulation of absorbents (1) provides the ability to deliver molecules to locations within systems. Magnetoabsorbents (4) of the present invention further increase the efficiency of the absorption cycle by combining materials with functions including: catalyst, buoyancy, suspension, magnetic heating, and sinking in liquid.
