Abstract:
A device is provided for performing chemical transformation in a fluid, with a flow distributor having at least one fluid medium inlet, at least one fluid medium outlet, and at least one confinement wherein the chemical transformation is performed; and a means for rotating, rocking, wagging, or oscillating the device. At least one confinement may be equipped with a provision for providing heat, cooling, sound, light or other types of radiation, such provision being contacted to an external source through an actuator shaft. The flow distributor may be provided with sectors connected with the centrally located fluid medium inlet and a designated peripheral fluid medium outlet. The means for rotating, rocking, wagging, or oscillating the device may be an element producing magnetic fields or a shaft mechanically connected to an external actuating device.

Abstract:
By regulating separation system's relative parameters, this broad and generalized separation process is disclosed to distinguish the fundament between this invention and chromatography for superior cost-effectiveness. A different mass transfer contacting method and differential set-up between two phases are applied on the disclosed apparatus to achieve purposed efficiency. This continuous separation process can be furnished as the integration of multiple partial fluidized beds or cells; operated under designated pressure level to instantaneous and simultaneous proceeding of determined mass-transfer phenomena. All zones within the process are simultaneously proceeded to isolate one product or multiple products from feed mixtures with other proceeding zones of feeding, impurity stripping, regeneration and washing. The differential mass transfer contact method is disclosed for efficient consumption of both solid phase and mobile phase. The unique recycling technique is disclosed to efficiently reuse the mobile phase and concentrate all isolated components within process. The liquid delivery module and holding tanks are illustrated for increasing operation efficiency and flexibility.
Abstract:
A continuous method for producing treated water by utilizing at least three zones containing ion-exchange material in which one zone is utilized as a treating or deionization unit, another zone is utilized for regenerating exhausted ion-exchange material and a third zone is utilized for rinsing the regeneration solution from the ion-exchange material, all three zones being operated simultaneously, and when the ion-exchange material in the deionization zone is exhausted the influent water is then transferred to the rinsing zone and the ion-exchange material in the original deionization zone is then regenerated with a regeneration solution while the ion-exchange material in the original regeneration zone is rinsed. Preferably the rinsing operation is conducted by passing a portion of the deionized water through the regenerated ion-exchange material to rinse the salt solution therefrom. It is also preferred to deionize the water by passing the influent water upwardly through the ionexchange material and to regenerate the ion-exchange material by passing regeneration solution downwardly through said material. Moreover, very good results are obtained if each zone has a freeboard sufficient to allow for expansion of the ion-exchange material and the water to be treated is passed through the ionexchange material at a flow rate sufficient to force and hold the ion-exchange material against the top of the zone and in the freeboard space, thereby preventing said ion-exchange material from being mixed.
