Abstract:
A wastewater treatment system and method comprises a treatment chamber having a filtration membrane spanning an effluent outlet of the chamber and a pair of electrodes in the treatment chamber so as to be in communication with the wastewater. An electrical potential difference is applied between the electrodes such that one of the electrodes functions as an anode and one of the electrodes functions as a cathode. A flow of fluid is induced out of the treatment chamber through the filtration membrane to the effluent outlet. Accordingly the treatment chamber is arranged to biologically treat the wastewater, electrochemically treat the wastewater and mechanically filter the wastewater through the filtration membrane commonly therein.

A hand-held spray bottle is provided, which includes a liquid reservoir, a liquid outlet, an electrolysis cell, a power source and a DC-to-DC converter. The electrolysis cell is carried by the spray bottle and is fluidically coupled between the reservoir and the liquid outlet. The power source is carried by the spray bottle and has a voltage output. The DC-to-DC converter is coupled between the voltage output and the electrolysis cell and provides a stepped-up voltage, which is greater than the voltage output of the power source, to energize the electrolysis cell.

In the method of softening water to be treated by applying a DC voltage across opposing electrode plates while flowing water to be treated therebetween, so that metal ions in the water to be treated are electrolytically precipitated on the surfaces of electrode plates on the negative pole side, thereby softening the water to be treated, the electrode plates comprise titanium, and increased voltage is applied to an anodically oxidized film formed on the surfaces of electrode plates on the positive pole side, to dielectrically break down the anodically oxidized film to thereby flow electric current in a desired amount.
Abstract:
A photocatalytic water-processing system decomposes organic and inorganic materials present in water. The system includes a reservoir for storing the water to be processed, a main unit formed separately and connected to the reservoir, an inlet pipe for guiding the water from the reservoir to the main unit, an outlet pipe for returning the water to the reservoir, and a pump for guiding the water from the reservoir to the main unit and returning the water. The reservoir has an electrode unit therein for electrolyzing the water so as to flocculate and precipitate the inorganic materials in the reservoir, and a filter is arranged within the main unit. Also, a photocatalytic processing device is arranged within the main unit at a downstream side of the filter for decomposing the organic material in the absence of scale formed of the inorganic materials.

A method to manufacture a carbon fiber electrode comprises synthesizing polyamic acid (PAA) as a polyimide (PI) precursor from pryomellitic dian hydride (PMDA) and oxydianiline (ODA) as monomers and triethylamine (TEA) as a catalyst, adding dimethylformamide (DMF) to the polyamic acid (PAA) solution to prepare a spinning solution and subjecting the spinning solution to electrostatic spinning at a high voltage to obtain a PAA nanofiber paper, converting the PAA nanofiber paper into a polyimide (PI) nanofiber paper by heating, and converting the polyimide (PI) nanofiber paper into a carbon nanofiber (CNF) paper by heating under an Ar atmosphere. Also, the method to manufacture a polyimide carbon nanofiber electrode and/or a carbon nanotube composite electrode may utilize carbon nanofibers having diameters that are lessened by optimizing electrostatic spinning in order to improve spinnability.
Abstract:
This invention describes a one step process for the removal of heavy metals, particularly arsenic, from water. The process consists in promoting the circulation of the water to be treated in an electrolytic cell equipped with iron, or iron alloy anodes and cathodes made of iron or iron alloy or other metals, while the contemporary insufflation into the cell of a gas, partially or totally composed of oxygen. In this way the iron of the anode electrodes dissolves as iron hydroxide. The ferrous hydroxide thus generated, under the action of the oxygen contained in the insufflated gas is converted to ferric hydroxide, which, through a complex mechanism, adsorbs and forms insoluble complexes with the arsenic ions. At the same time As(III) is subject to oxidation both at the anode and at the cathode. By this process both forms of arsenic, As(III) and As(V), are equally removed. The treated water is further processed by conventional clarifying and filtering.
