Abstract:
Provided is an aquifer storage and recovery system, in which microbes extracted from an underground aquifer are involved in an assimilable organic carbon (AOC) removal mechanism and applied to an aerobic reactor, and a predetermined portion of assimilable organic carbon in raw water is removed through the aerobic reactor.
Abstract:
A composite medium and method thereof for simultaneous removal of cationic and anionic heavy metals are provided to remove cationic and anionic heavy metals effectively. The method includes dissolving sodium alginate powder into deionized water to provide an alginate solution, and introducing amine group-supported mesoporous iron oxide and synthetic zeolite into the alginate solution and kneading the resultant mixture. The method also includes adding the alginate solution mixed with the mesoporous iron oxide and synthetic zeolite dropwise to an aqueous calcium chloride solution so that each drop of alginate solution is cured to form a bead-like composite medium, and vacuum drying the bead-like composite medium to remove water present in the composite medium, while the mesoporous iron oxide and synthetic zeolite are moved from the inside of the composite medium toward the surface of the composite medium.
Abstract:
The present invention is an aquifer storage and recovery system using a natural coagulant, in which in purifying raw water through aquifer storage and recovery, assimilable organic carbon (AOC) included in the raw water is effectively removed using a natural coagulant produced in the aquifer storage and recovery process, thereby reducing the time required to purify raw water by aquifer storage and recovery.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for recovery of target gas, which may increase a target gas concentration in a recovered gas by using a single gas separation membrane module and a plurality of gas storage tanks. The apparatus for recovery of target gas includes a gas separation membrane module configured to perform an enrichment process n times (n is a natural number) so that an injected gas is separated into a permeated gas and a recovered gas in each enrichment process, and (n+1) number of gas storage tanks, wherein in an nth enrichment process, gas stored in an nth gas storage tank is supplied to the gas separation membrane module and separated into an nth permeated gas and an nth recovered gas, the nth permeated gas is stored in a (n−1)th gas storage tank, and the nth recovered gas is stored in a (n+1)th gas storage tank.
Abstract:
Provided is a bead in which an adsorbent and an organic contaminant-degrading microorganism are supported, wherein an adsorbent for adsorbing organic contaminants is supported on the bead together with an organic contaminant-degrading microorganism for degrading the organic contaminants adsorbed to the adsorbent to allow for the adsorbent to remove organic contaminants in water and to allow for the organic contaminant-degrading microorganism to regenerate the adsorbent.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a floating type adsorbent for removal of phosphate that can effectively remove phosphate from aqueous phase through reaction between an amine function attached on the surface of a sponge and phosphate. This adsorbent can be regenerated by desorbing the adsorbed phosphate, a method for fabricating same and a method for regeneration the floating type adsorbent for removal of phosphate. The floating type adsorbent for removal of phosphate according to the present disclosure is fabricated by immersing a sponge in a mixture solution of an amine precursor and anhydrous toluene to form an amine function on the surface of the sponge. The amine precursor may be 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and the APTES and the anhydrous toluene may be mixed at a volume ratio of 0.5-1:1.
