摘要:
The present invention is a process, a method, and system for recovery and concentration of dissolved ammonium bicarbonate from a wastewater containing ammonia (NH3) using gas separation, condensation, filtration, and crystallization, each at controlled operating temperatures. The present invention includes 1) removal of ammonia from waste (sludges, semi-solids, and solids and liquids) without the use of chemicals at a temperature of at least 80 degrees Celsius, 2) mixing of the gaseous ammonia with carbon dioxide and water vapor and concentrating dissolved ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate using reverse osmosis at a temperature of between about 35 and 50 degrees Celsius, and 3) crystallizing concentrated dissolved ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate at a temperature of less than about 35 degrees Celsius to form solid ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbonate.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a process for removing nitrogen-based compounds in a gas stream by absorbing at least a portion of one of those compounds into a liquid stream. The absorbed nitrogen-based compound in the liquid stream is then reacted with a liquid phase chemical compound to produce a nitrogen-based product. The nitrogen-based compound in the gas stream and the liquid phase chemical compound with which the absorbed nitrogen-based compound is reacted may be “organic” compounds, i.e. compounds derived from living organisms, such as from animal matter or plant or vegetable matter, or having animal or plant origins. The nitrogen-based compound in the gas stream may be ammonia. The liquid phase chemical compound may be organic acetic acid or organic citric acid, and the nitrogen-based product may be an organic fertilizer, such as organic ammonium acetate or organic ammonium citrate that may be certified as organic.
摘要:
Contaminant treatment methods and systems are described. Methods utilize biodegradable, non-toxic materials that can carry one or more functionalities useful for the remediation of fluids such as liquid or gaseous waste streams, chemical spills, etc. The carrier materials carry one or more functional groups that can target particular contaminants of a fluid for removal and/or modification to a more benign form. Targeted contaminants can include components of gaseous and/or liquids such as, and without limitation, gaseous discharges including VOCs and potentially hazardous contaminants such as organophosphorous compounds.

A portable and disposable device for adsorbing the hydrogen sulfide component of the calibration gases that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere during the calibration of such a detector includes: (a) an activated carbon bed having a configuration adapted to allow for a specified flow rate of the calibration gas, (b) an upstream and a downstream hydrated, particulate filter, (c) an upstream and a downstream hydrophobic filter, (d) a conduit having a configuration adapted to enclose and assemble the activated carbon bed, hydrated, particulate filters and hydrophobic filters; and wherein the hydrophobic filters and hydrophobic filters each have a configuration that is adapted to maintain the humidity level in the activated carbon bed above a set level.
摘要:
A device for removing ammonia from a gas stream has a plurality of conduits that divide the gas steam into a plurality of separate gas streams. Spray nozzles located in each of said conduits spray a dilute acid solution into the streams. The acid solution is aqueous sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate is produced. The conduits are substantially unobstructed enabling the device to create less than 10 Pa back pressure to the gas stream.

The present invention involves a fabrication of ventilation-fan-ammonia-gas-removal-device and dual-function-ammonia-gas-removal-and-air-cooling-equipment for application to livestock confined facilities. The former is installed on the wall of livestock confined facilities to remove ammonia gas from ventilating air and the latter is installed inside the livestock confined facilities to remove ammonia gas and to cool air, suspending from the ceiling of livestock confined facilities. They are fabricated by assembling several plastic-rod-screen-fills which are made with plastic rods. Water supplied from the top of devices, flowing down on the surface of rods, cools air or absorbs ammonia gas and water vapor by contacting with air traveling transversely to the descent of water on the surface of plastic rods by means of forced draft. The dual-function-ammonia-gas-removal-and-air-cooling-equipment has high ammonia gas removal and air cooling efficiencies and also the ventilation-fan-ammonia-gas-removal-device high ammonia gas removal efficiency. Their fabrication methods are described in the present invention.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for treating effluents (2) moving between the inlet (4) and outlet (5) of a reactor (1), the process consisting in treating the effluents by means of a cold plasma treatment and by means of a UV-photocatalytic agent in order to produce oxidizing species for treating the effluents.In accordance with the invention, the process consists in treating the effluents with a cold plasma treatment simultaneously with the action of a UV-photocatalytic agent, the cold plasma treatment being carried out in a manner that is integrated into and located within a bed of porous microbeads (9) placed inside the reactor (1) and carrying the photocatalytic agent in order to generate oxidizing species as well as to diffuse them within the bed.

Improved compositions are disclosed that inhibit ammonia volatilization from poultry litter and other animal enclosures. In some variations, a composition for use in reducing ammonia generation in animal enclosures comprises metal sulfate, an organic acid with pKa of about 3 or higher, and optionally a buffer. In some variations, a composition for use in reducing ammonia generation in animal enclosures comprises metal sulfate, an inorganic acid with pKa of about 1 or higher, and a buffer. A method of reducing ammonia concentration in an animal enclosure (e.g., a chicken house) includes introducing any of the compositions described herein. In some embodiments, the animal enclosure is a chicken house. The ammonia concentration may be maintained below 50 ppm NH3, preferably below about 25 ppm NH3.
