Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and system for treating flue gases comprising generating a superimposed DC time-varying pulsed wave by superimposing a direct current on a low frequency time-varying pulsating electromagnetic wave signal, providing a treatment medium comprising water, using the superimposed DC pulsed wave to treat the treatment water medium, negatively charging the treated treatment water medium, and passing the thus treated treatment water medium into a chamber containing flue gas such that the treated treatment water affects the gas components of the flue gas and converts the gas components respectively to one or more of sulphates, nitrogen, oxygen, bicarbonates, carbonates and carbon, which can then be removed with used treatment water or exhaust gases. In particular, the invention relates to methods and systems for applying a superimposed time-varying frequency electromagnetic wave comprising both AC and DC components in a pulsating manner to enable the removal of pollutant gases from flue gases.
Abstract:
A water treatment system including a filter, an aerator, a hydrogen absorption manifold, a first treatment container, a second treatment container, a magnetron, a boiler, a superheater, a fractional distillation separator and a condenser. The filter is adapted for removing chloride ions and transmutated chlorine ions, while the hydrogen absorptive manifold is designed for absorbing hydrogen ions and reducing the pH of the water. The magnetron alters the spin of an electron in an outer shell of an atom contained in the water so that a solution added to the water coats selective elements causing them to precipitate from the water. The boiler and superheater may be utilized to convert the water to a superheated steam, while the fractional distillation separator is adapted for condensing and separating elements, including radioactive elements, from the superheated steam. A method for treating contaminated water using the water treatment system is also provided.
Abstract:
A liquid treatment apparatus comprises a liquid flow channel (26) configured to receive and channel liquid; and plasma generation means. The plasma generation means is arranged and configured to generate a plasma field in the gas phase above the liquid flow channel (26) to contact the surface of the liquid flowing therethrough to act on the liquid to cause impurities dissolved therein to form solid insoluble material which may be removed from the liquid by conventional filtration methods. The plasma generation means comprises at least one electrode (40) defining an anode, and at least one cathode (24) element spaced from the at least one electrode (40). The at least one electrode is located such that when liquid flows through the flow channel (26) the at least one electrode (40) is spaced above the surface of the liquid in the gaseous phase and the at least one cathode (24) is located within the flow channel (26) and arranged such that when liquid flows through the flow channel (26) it is at least partially submerged beneath the surface of the liquid, such that the plasma field is generated in the gas phase and extends to and contacts the surface of the liquid.
Abstract:
A scale removing or preventing device can send a signal to a hollow body containing a fluid through a wire wound around the hollow body. The device includes a signal generator for generating a signal and a signal modulator for modulating the signal. The signal has a continuous sinusoidal wave form having a parametric representation and a frequency cycle, and a plurality of parametric pieces joined together at respective switching points in the frequency cycle, wherein the first derivatives of the parametric representation of the wave form at the respective switching points are continuous or discontinuous. The provision of a plurality of switching points with continuous or discontinuous first derivations and/or zigzag patterns over the entire signal increases the sudden momentum to the deposition molecules of the scale in each frequency cycle, and thereby increases the mobility of the water scale and removes the scale more effectively.
Abstract:
In a house water decalcifying process, a sufficient number of seed crystals is at first generated in the water to be decalcified, before the water is heated while flowing through a thermal section, and the carbonates generated in the thermal section are made to agglomerate into crystal aggregates around the seed crystals. The crystal aggregates are then removed by means of a filter or another separating system. The seed crystals are generated for example by a preliminary physical treatment or are added as lime particles if the water to be decalcified does not contain already a sufficient number of seed crystals. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the process.
