Abstract:
It is intended to provide to provide an apparatus for separating an adsorbate, that permits continuous separation of the adsorbate from a processing material containing solid particles, sticky substances and water-soluble proteins alone or in combination without pretreatment, and a method of continuously separating the adsorbate. In the present invention, the processing is carried out, while a loop adsorbent is circulated. Specifically, an adsorbate is adsorbed, not by supply of the processing solution through the adsorbent, but by contact thereof with the adsorbent. In addition, the adsorbent after desorption of the adsorbate is cleaned. As a result, provided are an apparatus for separating an adsorbate, that permits continuous processing and separation of the adsorbate even from a processing material containing solid particles, sticky substances and water-soluble proteins alone or in combination without pretreatment and a method of continuously separating the adsorbate.
Abstract:
A continuously flowing, inner circulatory, quasi-fluidized-bed reactor for resin ion exchange and adsorption. The reactor comprises a main body casing, an inclined pipe separator, an outlet weir, an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, a reducing fluidization tank, a guide plate, a resin regeneration tank, a resin discharge pipe, and a return pipe for regenerated resin and a distributing ejector. The reactor is particularly suitable for advanced treatment of supply water, wastewater, biochemical effluent and reclaimed water by using (magnetic) powder resin.
Abstract:
A fluid-treating device containing a distributing device having a revolving disc in a stationary housing, and a motor for rotating the disc. Feed and discharge pipes are connected to an end wall of the housing and open onto the revolving disc. Stationary vessels are connected to the housing via connecting pipes. The revolving disc includes a plurality of passageways that open on the outer side of the disc. For a number of positions of the disc, the passageways are each connected to one of the connecting pipes, while feed and discharge pipes open via ring-like ducts into different passageways.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a fluid treating device, containing a distributing device (2) with a revolving disc (2) in a stationary housing (13), and a motor (15) for rotating the revolving disc (12). Feed and discharge pipes (3, 5, 6; 4, 7, 8) are connected to an end wall of the housing (13) and open onto the revolving disc (12). Stationary vessels (1) are connected to said housing (13) via connecting pipes (10, 11). In the revolving disc (12) are provided passageways (44-49) which open on the round outer side of the disc (12). For a number of positions of this disc (12), the passageways (44-49) are each connected to one of the above-mentioned connecting pipes (10, 11), while feed pipes (3, 5, 6) and discharge pipes (4, 7, 8) open via ring-like ducts (24, 29, 30, 50-52 and 37-38, 53-55) into different passageways (44-49).

Abstract:
A device is provided for performing chemical transformation in a fluid, with a flow distributor having at least one fluid medium inlet, at least one fluid medium outlet, and at least one confinement wherein the chemical transformation is performed; and a means for rotating, rocking, wagging, or oscillating the device. At least one confinement may be equipped with a provision for providing heat, cooling, sound, light or other types of radiation, such provision being contacted to an external source through an actuator shaft. The flow distributor may be provided with sectors connected with the centrally located fluid medium inlet and a designated peripheral fluid medium outlet. The means for rotating, rocking, wagging, or oscillating the device may be an element producing magnetic fields or a shaft mechanically connected to an external actuating device.
Abstract:
By regulating separation system's relative parameters, this broad and generalized separation process is disclosed to distinguish the fundament between this invention and chromatography for superior cost-effectiveness. A different mass transfer contacting method and differential set-up between two phases are applied on the disclosed apparatus to achieve purposed efficiency. This continuous separation process can be furnished as the integration of multiple partial fluidized beds or cells; operated under designated pressure level to instantaneous and simultaneous proceeding of determined mass-transfer phenomena. All zones within the process are simultaneously proceeded to isolate one product or multiple products from feed mixtures with other proceeding zones of feeding, impurity stripping, regeneration and washing. The differential mass transfer contact method is disclosed for efficient consumption of both solid phase and mobile phase. The unique recycling technique is disclosed to efficiently reuse the mobile phase and concentrate all isolated components within process. The liquid delivery module and holding tanks are illustrated for increasing operation efficiency and flexibility.
Abstract:
A solution to be treated by ion exchange is continuously introduced into the bottom of the first of a series of ion exchange vessels containing respective adsorption columns of an appropriate, particulate, ion exchange material, and is passed successively through the subsequent ion exchange vessels of the series, so that such solution flows continuously upwardly through each adsorption column, thence to the bottom of the next column, and is finally discharged from the last column of the series as fully treated solution. The loaded adsorption column is removed from the first vessel of the series, usually to eluting means for regeneration, and the other adsorption columns are transferred from vessel to vessel up the line, the adsorption column of the last vessel of the series being replaced by substantially unloaded ion exchange material, usually eluted material from the adsorption column of the first vessel of the series. The cycle is repeated continuously throughout any given period of operation of the method. The eluting means preferably comprises one or more conventional fixed bed ion exchange vessels, with or without a holding vessel in advance thereof, and there is preferably an excess of ion exchange material at this stage so that, in conjunction with such vessel or vessels, there is a metering of ion exchange material circulating batchwise through the system countercurrent to the solution.
