Abstract:
The disclosed invention consists of a water oxidation method, comprising the treatment of micropollutants in bromide-containing water with ozone and hydrogen peroxide in an ozonation reactor (1), reaching reproducible low and homogenously distributed ozone concentration in the ozonation reactor. This avoids any residual of ozone in solution and therefore BrO 3 -formation. This goal is reached by a controlled addition of hydrogen peroxide to the water in a first step. The solution is then introduced in a multiplicity of hollow fiber membranes (20) permeable to gas, extended along the inner space (10) of the ozonation reactor (1). In parallel, ozone is added from the ozone filled inner space (10) of the ozonation reactor (1) with a controlled concentration (partial pressure?) through the hollow fiber membrane walls (200) in a homogenously distributed way without gas bubbles into the fiber compartments (201) carrying the water/hydrogen peroxide solution with an adjustable flow rate all along the entire hollow fiber membrane length (L).
Abstract:
A dual function composite oxygen transport membrane having a layered structure of mixed conducting oxygen transport materials on a first side of a porous substrate and a reforming catalyst layer on an opposing second side of the porous substrate. The layered structure of the mixed conducting oxygen transport materials contains an intermediate porous layer of mixed conducting oxygen transport materials formed on the porous substrate with a dense impervious layer of mixed conducting oxygen transport materials over the intermediate porous layer, and an optional surface exchange layer of mixed conducting oxygen transport materials over the dense impervious layer. The layered structure and the reforming catalyst layer are formed in separate steps.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for generating liquid water from water vapor present in the atmosphere through use of selectively permeable films that permit water to pass through but that block other liquids and gases, such as atmospheric gases. The systems, devices, and methods employ condensation techniques in which only the water that is passed through the selectively permeable film is cooled, as compared to other atmospheric water generation systems, which cool water and other gases that enter with the water.

Abstract:
A filtration assembly includes a tower extending from a first end portion to a second end portion. The tower has at least a first side and a second side, and a permeate collection chamber, where permeate is collected in the permeate collection chamber. The tower has a tower outlet, and a module mounting portion on at least one of the first side or the second side. The filtration assembly includes a base coupled with the second end portion of the tower. One or more modules of the filtration assembly are each mounted in the module mounting portion, where the modules include one or more ceramic filtration membranes. The modules extend from a module first end portion to a second end portion, where the first portion has an outlet and is disposed within the permeate collection chamber. The module is sealed with the tower at the first end portion.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with the treatment of produced water, that may be obtained from a chemically enhanced oil recovery process using viscosity-increasing polymeric compounds. Said treatment comprises particularly the steps of obtaining a produced water, such as from an oil-water mixture recovered from an oil-bearing formation, wherein the produced water comprises the viscosity-increasing polymeric compounds; and, of directing the produced water to a specific filtration device, and subjecting the produced water to filtration, for obtaining a retentate stream and a permeate stream. Said process allows particularly obtaining a permeate comprising the viscosity-increasing polymeric compounds, said permeate being substantially free of suspended solids, free oil and emulsified oil.
