Abstract:
Methods and systems for employing softened acidified water sources from an acid regenerated ion exchange resins are disclosed. Various methods of dispensing and/or using the softened acidic water generated by an acid regenerate-able ion exchange resin are disclosed to beneficially reduce spotting, filming and scale buildup on treated surfaces, reduce and/or eliminate the need for polymers, including water conditioning agents, threshold reagents and/or rinse aids, and using protons generated in the acidic water effluent for triggering events useful in various cleaning applications.
Abstract:
High resolution protein A chromatography employing a chaotropic agent and pH gradient or pH step elution buffer results in improved peak resolution between closely related molecular species. Bispecific antibodies containing a protein A-binding-ablating substitution CH3 domain paired with a protein A-binding CH3 domain are separated with high peak resolution from monospecific antibodies containing a protein A-binding-ablating substituted CH3 domain paired with the protein A-binding-ablating substituted CH3 domain and monospecific antibodies containing a protein A-binding CH3 domain paired with the protein A-binding CH3 domain. Useful chaotropic agents include magnesium chloride and calcium chloride.
Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to a versatile fluid treatment system which includes: a mobile device; a track system connected to the mobile device; one or more treatment vessels removably attached to the track system, each treatment vessel comprising a treatment material disposed inside the treatment vessel, at least one fluid inlet, and at least one fluid outlet; an input conduit that receives a fluid to be treated, the input conduit in fluid communication with the fluid inlet on the treatment vessel; and an output conduit in fluid communication with the fluid outlet on the treatment vessel, the output conduit receives treated fluid from the treatment vessels via the fluid outlet.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the invention is to an ion exchange resin composition comprising a metal-functionalized exchange resin comprising from 3% to 94% metal-functionalized active sites; and a non-metal-functionalized exchange resin comprising non-metal-functionalized active sites.
Abstract:
An activated carbon filter with reduced leachable arsenic comprising activated carbon, a binder material for binding activated carbon into a filtration mesh and an arsenic adsorbent in a concentration of less than about 5% for reducing leachable arsenic inherent in the activated carbon.
Abstract:
A preparation method for a titanium-based lithium ion exchanger includes the following steps: step 1, preparation of lithium metatitanate precursor, namely, uniformly mixing titanium source, lithium source and water in proportion by ball milling, adding an adjuvant, and allowing reaction by ultrasonic heating and stirring, so as to obtain the lithium metatitanate precursor powder; step 2, preparation of lithium metatitanate powder, including spray drying and microwave calcination with the lithium metatitanate precursor to obtain the lithium metatitanate powder; and step 3, elution and replacement, namely, leaching out Li with an eluent to obtain lithium ion exchanger. The preparation method is a solid-liquid phase contact reaction so that the ratio of raw materials can be accurately controlled. The synthesis reaction is strengthened by ultrasound. Titanium is controlled at a relatively excessive proportion to prepare the lithium metatitanate powder with high porosity and good filterability.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for an integrated acid regeneration of ion exchange resins are disclosed for use in cleaning applications. Acid resins designed for use in a variety of cleaning application using a treated, softened, acidic water source are disclosed. Various methods of using the softened acidic water generated by acid regenerate-able ion exchange resins within a cleaning application, e.g. ware wash machine, are disclosed to beneficially reduce spotting, filming and scale buildup on treated surfaces, reduce and/or eliminate the need for polymers, threshold reagents and/or rinse aids, and using protons generated in the acidic water effluent for triggering events useful in various cleaning applications.

Abstract:
A system comprises an input, a brine chamber, a water softening chamber, and an output. One or more valves are configured to selectively prevent fluid communication of water from the input into the brine chamber; and to selectively permit communication of brine from the brine chamber to the water softening chamber when water is not being communicated through the input. The output is configured to output water softened in the water softening chamber. The one or more valves may include a first valve and a second valve. The first valve may be responsive to water being communicated through the input. The second valve may be responsive to either manual actuation or a fluid level in the brine chamber. The system may further include a cartridge that is removably coupled with the water softening chamber. The cartridge may contain salt and may further define the brine chamber.
