Abstract: The presently disclosed concepts relate to green battery recycling systems and critical mineral reclamation and refinement. Alkali metal extraction (and in particular lithium extraction) is accomplished using a solid electrolyte membrane in combination with electrodes in a redox configuration. The energy used to initially extract lithium from a feed solution is stored as electrochemical energy, which electrochemical energy is reclaimed in subsequent reclamation processing steps. This reclamation may further allow for lithium to be converted to lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, or purified to a minimum purity of 99.9% lithium by mass. These extraction and reclamation steps may performed in continuous ultra-efficient ongoing cycles. Since irrecoverable energy losses incurred in each cycle are limited to negligible amounts of joule heating of the system components and feed solution, the system can be sustainably powered using locally-generated renewable energy, which in turn, provides for a green and sustainable solution for lithium recycling.

Abstract: A process and system for producing a hydrogenated drinking water has a reverse osmosis filter, an ionizer and a power supply. The reverse osmosis filter has an inlet on one side thereof and first and second outlets on an opposite side thereof. The first outlet is adapted to pass a permeate from the reverse osmosis filter. The second outlet is adapted to pass brine from the reverse osmosis filter. The ionizer is in fluid communication with the reverse osmosis filter. The ionizer has a first inlet connected to the first outlet of the progress osmosis filter. The ionizer has a second inlet connected to the second outlet of the reverse osmosis filter. The power supply is connected to the ionizer so as to electrolysize the brine and the permeate.

Abstract: Systems and processes for purifying and concentrating a liquid feed stream are disclosed. In the systems, the concentrated liquid output from the high pressure side of a reverse osmosis stage is used as the draw solution in the low pressure side of the reverse osmosis stage in a configuration called osmotically assisted reverse osmosis. This reduces the osmotic pressure differential across the membrane, permitting high solute concentrations to be obtained, hastening the purification of the liquid. Reduced system pressures are also obtained by arranging multiple osmotically assisted reverse osmosis stages in a cross-current arrangement. Overall system energy consumption is reduced compared to conventional thermal processes for high concentration streams.

Abstract: After whey protein concentration and recovery by ultrafiltration, the lactose in the permeate is further concentrated by nanofiltration, resulting in a retentate used as a substrate for enzymatic production of GOS by a β-galactosidase enzyme. A GOS ingredient is obtained, characterized by having between 30 and 95% of GOS, which could improve the organoleptic properties (in terms of texture and flavor) of the products in which it is applied, and also giving it prebiotic properties.
