摘要:
Semiconductor-Oxides Nanotubes-Based Composite Particles Useful for Dye-Removal and Process Thereof, has been described in this invention, which relates to an innovative method, involving an ion-exchange mechanism operating under the dark-condition in an aqueous solution, for the processing of innovative products consisting of the nanotubes of semiconductor-oxides deposited on (or anchored to or attached to) the surface of flyash particles and metal-oxide (magnetic and non-magnetic) nanoparticles. The resulting micro-nano and nano-nano integrated composite particles find potential application in the removal of an organic synthetic-dye from an aqueous solution and industry effluent via the surface-adsorption process, involving the ion-exchange and electrostatic-attraction mechanisms, operating in the dark-condition. The novel composite particles can be recycled for the next-cycle of dye-adsorption by decomposing the previously adsorbed-dye on their surfaces via an innovative approach involving the use of either noble-metal-deposited photocatalyst or a magnetically separable magnetic photocatalyst and an exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) or solar-radiation.

A filter unit may include an electrode structure, a fluid-purifying flow path, and a pH adjusting chamber. The electrode structure may include a cathode, a cation exchange membrane, an anion exchange membrane, and an anode in that order. The fluid-purifying flow path may be at least one of a path in the cathode, between the cathode and the cation exchange membrane, between the anion exchange membrane and the anode, and in the anode. The fluid-purifying flow path may include an adsorption function. The pH adjusting chamber may be between the cation exchange membrane and the anion exchange membrane. The pH adjusting chamber may be configured to control the pH of the fluid in the fluid-purifying flow path.

An object of the present invention is to provide an optical measurement apparatus equipped with an ion-exchange resin for pretreating a sample, thereby enabling the concentration of component in the sample to be measured with higher accuracy. The optical measurement apparatus of the present invention includes, in addition to the ion-exchange resin, an optical measurement section for measuring, based on the optical characteristics of the component, the concentration of the component in the sample after the sample is passed through the ion-exchange resin.
摘要:
An ion is eluted from an ion exchange resin (132) in a separation system (100) using an eluent generated by electrolysis of a medium. Elution is further assisted by an electrical field between two electrodes (120, 110), wherein the ion exchange resin (132) is at least partially disposed between the electrodes. Particularly preferred aspects of such separation systems include gradient separation and buffered electrodialysis.

An electrolytic process and apparatus is disclosed for oxidizing or reducing inorganic and organic species, especially in dilute aqueous solutions, and for water purification and treatment. The electrolytic reactor includes an anode, cathode and a packed bed of particulate ion exchange material which, preferably, is modified by converting a portion of the transfer sites to semiconductor junctions which act as mini anodes, or cathodes, to significantly increase the capacity of the reactor to oxidize or reduce the species to be treated, or split water. The ion exchange material may be a monobed of either modified anion exchange material or modified cation exchange material, or a mixed bed of both, and can be in direct contact with either the anode or cathode, or separated from both. Under the influence of direct current, free radical hydroxyl, free radical hydrogen, regenerant hydroxyl ion and/or regenerant hydrogen ion are generated.
摘要:
An electrolytic process and apparatus are disclosed for water purification and pH adjustment. The electrolytic reactor includes an anode, cathode and a bed of particulate ion exchange material modified by converting a portion of the transfer sites to semiconductor junctions. The ion exchange material may be a monobed of either modified anion exchange material or modified cation exchange material, or a mixed bed of both. Undesirable ions are exchanged onto the ion exchange material at the ion exchange sites. Regenerant ions, produced at the semiconductor junctions then exchange with the undesirable ions attached to the ion exchange material, and the undesirable ions migrate through the bed toward the respective anode or cathode and out of the aqueous solution. The pH of the aqueous solution can be adjusted by passing the solution through either a modified cation resin bed or through a modified anion resin bed to lower or increase the pH, respectively.

A method for separating metal ions absorbed on a resin includes: suspending or percolating a cationic exchange resin charged with a polar solvent containing an eluting agent or a mixture of eluting agents containing at least an organic or mineral ligand complexing the metal ions to be separated; circulating a direct electric current, whether constant or not, in the charged eluting solution forming an electrolyte so as to recuperate at least a metal by deposition; and finally optionally repeating the last step by setting up one or several cathode(s) made of another metal and by re-adjusting the cathode potential and the anode/cathode potential difference to new values, depending on the new type of metal to be recuperated. An installation for treating/recycling photographic bath waste includes an exchanger connected to a tank for waste bath to be treated, to a treated waste bath tank, to a regenerating solution tank and to an electrolysis vessel.
