Abstract: Mechano-chemical wastewater treatment equipment to treat wastewater containing heavy metals to form drainage. An intermediate sewage tank has a sewage inlet and a sewage outlet, and stores wastewater to be treated and sewage formed during the treatment process. At least one mechano-chemical reactor conducts the mechano-chemical reaction between the wastewater and zero-valent iron nanoparticles through a ball milling treatment. A separator to separate a slurry produced by the reactor into solids and liquids. The separator has a slurry inlet, a liquid outlet, and a sludge outlet. The reactor is a ball milling device having a reactor shell with a reaction chamber internally formed, a feeding inlet for the slurry to enter the reaction chamber and a discharge outlet for the slurry to flow out of the reaction chamber. A rotor is set inside the reaction chamber and a driving mechanism rotates the rotor.

Abstract: A water treatment and purification process for the removal of contaminants from water, which uses a resin polymeric resin based on allylbenzene (3-phenylpropene) with divinylbenzene, which has been previously activated, which carries out an ion exchange and adsorption of the contaminants present in the water to be treated. The molecular modification process for the treatment and purification of water allows purifying water with high concentrations of both organic and inorganic contaminants, does not clog or scale, removes the contaminants from the water, does not generate any type of rejection or waste, does not generate sludge, and operates with low energy consumption.

Abstract: Various examples are provided in relation to improved recovery and throughput of both fine and coarse particulate materials. In one example, a method includes injecting an aqueous suspension of a cloud of small air bubbles into an aqueous phase including fine particulate materials, wherein the fine particulate material is selectively hydrophobized and collected by small air bubbles; allowing the bubbles to rise in the aqueous phase; and collecting the air bubbles to obtain a concentrate of the fine particulate materials. In another example, a method includes adding a hydrophobizing agent to an aqueous phase to render coarse particulate material selectively hydrophobic; allowing air bubbles to attach to the coarse particulate material and changing the apparent specific gravity of the coarse particulate materials so a layer of one type of coarse particle is formed on top; allowing the one type of coarse particles to float and enter the forth phase.

Abstract: A method of removing a metal ion from water is disclosed. The method includes treating the water with a nanocomposite to absorb the metal ion with the nanocomposite, forming a polymer-metal ion composite and removing the polymer-metal ion composite from the water. The nanocomposite includes aluminum oxide dispersed in a matrix of an uncrosslinked graft copolymer that includes a chitosan backbone and side chains of poly(itaconic acid) grafted to the chitosan backbone. The chitosan backbone has a plurality of amino groups that are acetylated by itaconic acid.

Abstract: Method of removing or adsorbing a target substance or material, for example a metal, non-metal toxin, dye, or small molecule drug), from solution by functionalizing a substrate with a peptide configured to selectively bind to the target substance or material and to bind to the substrate. Methods herein are useful for example for biomining applications. More specifically, the method employs metal-binding peptides to remove metals from solution, particularly aqueous solution. More specifically, the substrate is fungal mycelium. Fusion peptides and/or proteins containing metal-binding domain sequence and optionally containing substrate-binding domain sequence are provided. Fusion peptides/proteins containing a metal-binding domain and a chitin-binding domain are provided. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding fusion peptides and/or proteins containing metal-binding domain sequence and those further containing a substrate-binding domain, for example a carbohydrate-binding domain, and more specifically a chitin-binding domain.

Abstract: Systems and methods to enhance the removal of inorganic contaminants, including metals, from hydrocarbon feedstocks at a refinery. One or more embodiments of such systems and methods may be used to provide a renewable hydrocarbon feedstock having a reduced amount of metal contaminants. The reduction of metal contaminants in the renewable hydrocarbon feedstock mitigates catalyst fouling and/or deactivation during downstream refinery processing of the renewable hydrocarbon feedstock.
