Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing ammonia from an aqueous solution containing ammonium chloride using an electrodialyzer cellstack.
Abstract:
A method and system for for reducing ion concentration of a solution and converting gas. The system comprising a multi-chamber unitary dialysis cell comprising a gas chamber, a product chamber, and an acid chamber. Ion exchange barriers separate the chambers of the dialysis cell. A first anion exchange barrier is positioned between the product chamber and the acid chamber and a first cation exchange barrier is positioned between the product chamber and the gas chamber. Anions from the solution being treated associate with cations from the acid chamber to form an acid solution in the acid chamber, and cations from the solution being treated associate with anions from the fluid comprising gas to form salt, thereby reducing the ion concentration of the solution being treated and converting at least a portion of the gas into salt.
Abstract:
There are provided an active regeneration method for a deionization module, and a water treatment apparatus using the same. The water treatment apparatus may include: a power applying unit applying power to the deionization module in order to perform a regeneration process a regeneration parameter measuring unit measuring a regeneration parameter of the deionization module when the power is applied; and a controlling unit terminating theregeneration process, based on the measured regeneration parameter.
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing reducing water that maintains a neutral range of pH and exhibits superior reducing force. The apparatus for producing reducing water includes an electrolytic bath (22) including a cathode chamber (41) provided with a cathode (23), an anode chamber (42) provided with an anode (24), and an intermediate chamber (43) interposed between the cathode chamber (41) and the anode chamber (42), wherein the cathode chamber (41) and the intermediate chamber (43) are provided with an inlet through which water is supplied, and an outlet through which water is discharged, a cation exchange membrane (25) is provided between the cathode chamber (41) and the intermediate chamber (43), and the intermediate chamber (43) includes a cation exchange resin (26) that dissociates hydrogen ions when the cation exchange resin reacts with water.
Abstract:
An electrodeionization apparatus and a method for operating the apparatus are provided. With this, concentration diffusion of boron from a concentrating chamber can be suppressed to obtain product water having a very low boron concentration. Raw water in introduced into a desalting chamber 16, and product water is discharged from the desalting chamber 16. A part of the product water is introduced into a concentrating chamber 15 in a single pass in the direction opposite to the flow in the desalting chamber 16. Water discharged from the concentrating chamber 15 is drained out of a system. An inlet of the concentrating chamber 15 is provided at a side of an outlet for discharging product water from the desalting chamber 16, and an outlet of the concentrating chamber 15 is provided at a side of an inlet for introducing raw water into the desalting chamber 16. Concentrated water discharged from the concentrating chamber has a boron concentration of 500 times or less than that of the product water or of 10 ppb or less.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods, systems, and devices for electrically purifying liquids containing species such as minerals, salts, ions, organics, and the like. One aspect of the invention provides an electrical purification apparatus, including an electrodeionization device (110). The electrodeionization device may be run in any suitable fashion, for example, continuously or essentially continuously, intermittently, upon demand, with periodic reversals of polarity. In another aspect, methods of regenerating media within an electrical purification device are provided, for example, exposing the media to one or more eluting solutions (330), and/or selectively desorbing ions, organics, and/or other species from the media by exposing the media to certain eluting conditions. In yet another aspect, methods of selectively removing one or more ions, organics, and/or other species from a liquid to be purified are provided, by selective removal of one or more ions, or organics, and the like from solution that can easily precipitate, and/or cause scaling or fouling to occur. In still another aspect, the invention provides a method of treating a solution containing ions, organics, and/or other species using an electrical purification apparatus in a continuous or semi-continuous fashion, while also performing regeneration of media contained within the apparatus.
