Abstract: This invention is directed to apparatus and methods for separating weakly ionizable substances from mixtures of the same such as carbon dioxide from an enclosed atmosphere. One method employs a four compartment electrolytic cell comprised of end electrodes, a planar anion exchange membrane therebetween, a corrugated cation exchange membrane between and in contact with the anode electrode and the planar membrane and a corrugated anion exchange membrane between and in contact with the cathode electrode and the planar membrane. The projections of each corrugated membrane make point contact with the adjacently placed electrode and planar membrane to form an anode, stripper, scrubber and cathode compartment. In operation the CO2 contaminated air is passed into the scrubber compartment; water is passed through the remaining compartments and a D.C. current is passed between the electrodes to result in the recovery of partially purified air from the scrubber compartment.

Abstract: A cation exchange membrane containing functional groups of both the sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid radicals which allows the membranes to maintain its conductivity throughout the entire pH range. This unique property gives this high capacity pH insensitive membrane particular value in electrolytic cells as hydraulic diaphragms to separate a basic solution from an acid solution as is encountered in caustic-chlorine cells or other type cells which electrolytically decompose neutral salt solutions such as sodium sulfate into their basic and acidic components of caustic soda and sodium acid sulfate. The capacity of this membrane is much higher than the presently known sulfonic acid salt types.

Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for the automatic determination of total organic carbon in aqueous media. The invention comprises two sample injection valves, two reaction chambers, one for converting all carbon (both organic and inorganic) in the sample to carbon dioxide, the other for converting only the inorganic carbon to carbon dioxide, a methanizer for converting the formed carbon dioxide to methane and a flame ionization detector for measuring the quantity of the methane produced which corresponds to the total and the inorganic carbon content of the sample, the difference between these two values being the organic carbon content.

Abstract: A swimming pool water sterilizer and the method involved in the operation are disclosed employing a two electrode compartment electrolytic cell with said compartments being separated by a cation selective membrane. A concentrated alkali metal chloride salt solution is fed to the anode compartment wherein on application of a decomposition voltage there is formed therein essentially chlorine gas and hypochlorous acid. The migration of water from the anode compartment to the cathode compartment as a result of the solvation of the alkali metal ions (Na ) which passes to the cathode compartment through the cation membrane allows the formation of a caustic solution and hydrogen gas within the cathode compartment. The effluents resulting from both compartments are fed into the recirculated pool water for sterilization. The pH of said water can be controlled by discharging to waste any excess basic catholyte at predetermined intervals at pre-set periods of time.

Abstract: A primary and/or secondary battery cell is disclosed in which the high electrochemical capacity and high voltage obtainable from the alkali metal-oxygen system is achieved without the inherent risk of the explosively violent reaction of the alkali metal with the aqueous catholyte of the cell by interposing an ion-permeable but water-impermeable substantially insoluble laminar membrane-diaphragm between said metal and said aqueous electrolyte. The laminar membrane-diaphragm comprises a supporting microporous material such as, for example, a ceramic material which is fused or otherwise attached to a thin nonporous substantially catholyte insoluble alkali metal composition which is permeable to the alkali metal ions.
