Abstract: The invention relates to a method for obtaining porous hollow fibers having molecularly imprinted spheres embedded therein, said method comprising the steps of: simultaneously and independently injecting a doping solution and a pore-forming solution into an extrusion die; extruding or spinning porous hollow fibers; coagulating the porous hollow fibers that leave step (b) in an aqueous solution with an aqueous solution having a temperature between 15° C.-25° C.; winding the flexible porous hollow fibers coagulated in step (c); leaving them to dry and storing same under vacuum conditions. The resulting porous hollow fibers are used to form filtrating modules in which a plurality of fibers are disposed longitudinally and in parallel. The filtrating modules can be assembled together to form filtering devices intended, in a preferred example, for gradual blood purification and the subsequent qualitative and/or quantitative identification of the molecules retained in the first filter of each filtering module. The invention also relates to the operating method of the filtering device.

Abstract: A water or liquid substance filtration device is disclosed which removes microorganisms and organic contamination and sterilizes the containers and water lines after the unit. The unit is portable, or can be mounted stationary. The unit has a five-stage filtration and sterilization system controlled by an independent onboard computer system that can link to a central computer system to keep track of all independent units. The unit will physically filter out of the water contaminants that can be reused, destroyed, or flushed down a safe drain. It can also be modified to filter for a certain size of particulate, making recovery of certain substances possible. The unit has a self-diagnostic system that can determine if the unit is operating properly and can shut down a part thereof if one of the capillary units fails. The system is hydrophilic, can run at low pressures and can be designed from low to extremely high volumes. The unit uses ozone to disinfect containers and water lines.

Abstract: Described herein are a method and system for desalinating saltwater using concentration difference energy. A “five stream” dialytic stack is described that can be used to desalinate saltwater at a relatively high recovery ratio. The dialytic stack may include, for example, one or more drive cells having a paired concentrate and a diluent-c chamber in ionic communication with a product chamber that is adjacent to an anion and a cation discharge chamber each filled with diluent-p. The drive cell applies a drive voltage across the product chamber, and when the drive voltage exceeds a desalination voltage of the product chamber, the saltwater in the product chamber is desalinated. The dialytic stack may accept brine discharged from a first desalination plant as saltwater to be desalinated. Processing the brine in the dialytic stack may decrease its volume, decreasing costs associated with treating or otherwise disposing of the brine.
