Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for eliminating halogen-containing compounds contained in a gas or a liquid, characterized in that the gas or liquid is brought into contact with a composition based on an alumina and/or a hydrated alumina and at least one compound (A) comprising at least one metallic element selected from metals from groups VIII, IB and/or IIB of the periodic table, and in that the total metallic element(s) content is at most 45% by weight with respect to the total composition weight, the complement by weight preferably comprising in a major part alumina and/or hydrated alumina.
Abstract:
Trace impurities such as organic compounds and carbon monoxide are reduced to sub-ppb levels in gases such as nitrogen, helium and argon, by gas purifying systems that contain an ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material. Ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon materials is capable of removing impurities from a gas stream down to parts-per-billion (ppb) and sub-ppb levels without concurrently emitting other impurities such as moisture or carbon dioxide to the purified gas stream. The carbon material is superactivated by heating the carbon to temperatures between 300-800null C. in an ultra-dry, inert gas stream. The ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material is handled and stored in an environment that minimizes contamination from moisture and other oxygenated species in order to maintain its ppb and sub-ppb impurity removal and low emission properties.

Abstract:
Trace impurities such as organic compounds and carbon monoxide in reactive fluids such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and chlorine are reduced to sub-ppb levels using gas purifying systems that contain a preconditioned ultra-low emission (P-ULE) carbon. P-ULE is capable of removing impurities from a reactive fluid down to parts-per-billion (ppb) and sub-ppb levels without concurrently emitting other impurities such as moisture or carbon dioxide into the purified reactive fluid. The P-ULE carbon is prepared by heating a carbon material to temperatures from 300null C. to about 800null C. in an ultra-dry, inert gas stream, to produce an ultra-low emission (ULE) carbon material, subjecting the ULE carbon to a second activation process under a reactive gas atmosphere to produce a P-ULE carbon and storing the P-ULE carbon in an environment that minimizes contamination of the P-ULE prior to its use in a gas purifier system.

The present invention relates to a remover of dissolved fluoride ion for removing fluoride ions contained in wastewater and a treatment method for wastewater containing fluoride using the same. In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a remover of dissolved fluoride ion comprising: a) hydrochloric acid solution reacted with calcium carbonate, and b) a mixture of poly sodium metaphosphate and active aluminum or aqueous solution of mixtures thereof, or an aqueous solution of rare earth element compound, and a treatment method for wastewater containing fluoride using the same. The present invention's removing agent for dissolved fluoride ion and treatment method for wastewater containing fluoride using the same can remove fluoride ion below 10 ppm easily and with low cost, can have the whole of the sludge generated from the treatment process reusable, can greatly reduce the time necessary for wastewater treatment by simplifying the conventional treatment process for wastewater containing fluoride which is complex, and can reduce labor costs as simpler equipment can be used to shorten the process.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treatment of fluorine waste water has an introduction tank, a main treatment tank, a calcium hydroxide tank, a polychlorinated aluminum tank, a macromolecular flocculant tank, a settling tank, and a concentration tank. Fluorine waste water is introduced through the introduction tank into a lower part of the main treatment tank. Also, return sludge from the concentration tank and silicon sludge from a silicon waste water treatment system are introduced into an upper part of the main treatment tank. Thus, silicon recovered from silicon waste water is recycled for treatment of fluorine waste water. Also, unreacted chemicals, which have been loaded in the calcium hydroxide tank, polychlorinated aluminum tank, macromolecular flocculant tank, are recycled. The main treatment tank has no stirrer, but can neutralize the waster water.

Abstract:
Waste water containing fluorine, nitrogen and organic matter is treated by introducing the waste water into a water tank filled with calcium carbonate mineral and anaerobic microorganic sludge. An upper portion of the water tank is occupied by the anaerobic microorganic sludge concurrently with natural precipitation of the calcium carbonate mineral toward a lower portion of the water tank. Calcium ions dissolving from the calcium carbonate mineral precipitated in the lower portion of the water tank are made to chemically react with the fluorine in the waste water. At the same time, the organic matter in the waste water is treated by utilizing anaerobic microorganisms in the anaerobic microorganic sludge in the upper portion of the water tank. The nitrogen in the waste water is treated to be reduced by reducibility that the anaerobic microorganisms in the waste water own. There is thus provided the waste water treatment method and waste water treatment equipment capable of treating the waste water containing fluorine, nitrogen and organic matter at low cost without necessitating the organic matter such as methanol as an additional chemical.
Abstract:
A first reaction/adjustment tank has a lower portion containing a calcium carbonate mineral, an upper portion containing a calcium carbonate mineral and a plastic filler, and an air lift pump for circulating waste water from the lower portion to the upper portion. Exhaust gas is introduced into a space. A second reaction/adjustment tank has a lower portion containing a calcium carbonate mineral and charcoal, and an upper portion containing charcoal and a plastic filler. Waste water circulates sequentially through the lower and upper portions of the first reaction/adjustment tank, and the lower and upper portions of the second reaction/adjustment tank. Exhaust gas circulates sequentially through the upper portion of the first reaction/adjustment tank and the upper portion of the second reaction/adjustment tank.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the treatment of waste water containing a harmful ion such as a heavy metal ion or fluorine ion by the coagulating sedimentation method using an inorganic coagulant such as an iron compound or an aluminum compound. After separating treated water from the sediment (sludge) in which the harmful ion is incorporated in insoluble form, the pH of a mixture of the sediment and water is suitably adjusted to cause elution of the harmful ion from the sediment. Then the sediment is separated from the eluate and reused as an inorganic coagulant. By reusing the sediment in this manner, the waste water treatment is accomplished without producing a large quantity of sludge and the consumption of inorganic coagulant and auxiliary chemicals can be greatly reduced, while the concentration of the harmful ion in the treated water becomes sufficiently low.
