摘要:
An improved integrated and cyclic process and apparatus are disclosed wherein portions of various process and waste fluids are recycled to control impurities in the influents to membrane chlor-alkali cells and simultaneously to minimize liquid pollutants from the process. The improved process and apparatus reduces energy costs and wastes while simultaneously controlling impurities important to operation of membrane chlor-alkali electrolytic cells.
摘要:
A process for treating liquid whey is disclosed in which raw whey is first partially demineralized by electrodialysis and then subjected to forced flow electrophoresis to effect the separation of lactose and a simultaneous increase in the percentage solids content in the resulting product whey solution.

摘要:
Novel thin film composite membranes are disclosed. They are prepared from vinyl and related monomers by phase transfer catalysis at the interface between one phase containing a polymerizable vinyl or related monomer and a second phase containing an entity necessary to initiate polymerization of the monomer. The two phases are substantially insoluble in each other. At least one of the phases is a fluid. One of the phases is integral with a porous support or substrate or a precursor of such support or substrate such as a porous organic or inorganic diaphragm made by thermal phase inversion from which the soluble phase has not been extracted.
摘要:
An improved process and apparatus for pH control and energy savings in chlor-alkali electrolysis cells is disclosed wherein a fuel cell type spaced porous catalytic anode is utilized to chemically oxidize a controlled, sub stoichiometric amount of hydrogen to provide hydrogen ions to a recirculating anolyte. The pH is monitored and the flow of hydrogen fuel adjusted to provide a resultant desired pH in the range of about 2 to about 4. Optionally, hydrogen gas produced at the cell cathode may comprise the fuel supply and a spaced porous catalytic cathode may be employed for hydrogen supply control and depolarization.
