摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of regenerating an ion exchange material loaded with chromate ions and nitrate ions in an ion exchange colunm, the method comprising subjecting the loaded ion exchange colunm to a regeneration sequence comprising the following steps: (i) passing a first salt solution through the colunm forming a first effluent solution; (ii) passing a second salt solution through the colunm to at least partially remove the chromate ions from the colunm forming a second effluent solution, wherein the, second salt solution has a higher salt concentration than the first salt solution; (iii) passing a third salt solution through the colunm to at least partially remove nitrate ions from the colunm forming a third effluent solution, wherein the third salt solution has a salt concentration higher than the second salt solution.
摘要:
A process for increasing the active surface area of at least one electrode having a surface comprising a group VIII metal in an electrochemical cell, which also comprises at least one balancing electrode and an aqueous electrolyte which comprises nitrate ions, which comprises applying a sweeping voltage across the electrodes at a rate of at least 0.2 V/s, the sweeping voltage being from a lower voltage which is between the voltage at which hydrogen evolution occurs and −0.7 V to an upper voltage which is between −0.2 V and +0.3 V, all of the above voltages being with reference to a standard calomel reference electrode (VSCE).
摘要:
Remediation of soil and groundwater using electropotential gradient induced migration of a target ion and immobilization and/or confinement of the target ion by a host receptor matrix (HRM). In addition to immobilizing and/or confining the target ion, the HRM can comprise a buffer or an ionizable species which releases an exchange ion during application of the electropotential gradient. The exchange ion, when less mobile than a (H.sup.+) ion or hydroxyl (OH.sup.-) ion, increases the efficiency of energy usage during decontamination. The exchange ion can also perform other tasks in the vicinity of the electrodes which improve the decontamination process. The host receptor matrix also can comprise a material which is water impermeable and which has a low surface energy, such as a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene film. When such a material is used, the host receptor matrix can comprise a receptacle in which there is a liquid and/or solid composition which immobilizes and/or contains the target ion.

A device for protecting electrical circuit components from surges induced by transient electromagnetic fields by isolating such components in a region of substantially uniform and constant field is disclosed. The device generally comprises at least two substantially identical conducting members in spaced, stacked relation, forming in the spaces between adjacent members a central component receiving region of substantially uniform and constant field surrounded in turn by a transitional region, a high energy storage region, and a second transitional region such that under surge conditions the device will remain electrically stable and the energy of the surge will be stored in the high energy storage region leaving the component protecting region substantially unaffected.

摘要:
Processes and apparatuses for separating ions from an aqueous solution are provided which utilize a first separation by an ion exchange medium in combination with second separation by a D.C. electropotential gradient. The first separation separates the target ion by ion exchange and the second separation effects migration of the ions from the ion exchange medium, through a ion permeable, hydrophobic membrane into a second zone, which may contain a buffer. The hydrophobic membrane substantially resists fouling.
摘要:
A target holder for an ion implantation system is disclosed. The targets are supported on a disk which is mounted on a motor which spins the disk. The motor is in turn mounted on a shaft which makes a reciprocating scanning movement along its axis. The spinning of the disk and the reciprocation of the shaft provide uniform exposure of the targets to the incident ion beam. In addition, the shaft can be rotated about its axis to control the angle of incidence of the ion beam as it strikes the targets.
