METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED SEPARATION AND REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS AND IRRADIATED PARTICULATES FROM FLUIDS
20220143537 · 2022-05-12 ·

A method and apparatus for separation of particulates from liquids by filtration for the purpose of removal or recovery of the particulates. Reducing the surfaces forces associated with electrostatic attraction between the particles and the filter medium is accomplished by modifying or coating the surface of the filter medium with one or more materials that exhibit a surface charge closer to or the same as that of the particulates in a given aqueous liquid. This permits filtration by mechanical interception but reduces the subsequent adhesion that prevents or hinders regeneration. The method and apparatus can be used in the filtration of radioactive particulates and contaminants from aqueous liquid inventories or liquid process streams with radiation resistant filter medium such as ceramics, sintered metal powders, or sintered metal fibers. These types of filters can exhibit a surface charge very different from that of the particulates targeted for separation by mechanical filtration.

RESIN SHEET WITH LARGE NUMBER OF WALL-LIKE PROJECTIONS PRESENT IN PARALLEL ON ONE SURFACE

A resin sheet contains: a sheet-like substrate of a resin; and wall-like projections (W) of the same resin having a certain height and standing upright on one surface of the substrate. The wall-like projections (W) are arranged on the surface of the substrate in at least 10 parallel rows with a certain spacing, and a large number of the wall-like projections (W), which satisfy the conditions (1) to (5) described in the specification, are present in parallel on the one surface of the substrate. The resin sheet is useful as a directional male hook-and-loop fastener whose male engaging elements are unlikely to break when a force is applied thereto and which does not provide a stimulus to the skin when it touches the surface of the fastener, as a filter for separating fine particles from a fluid, and as a display resin sheet.

Struvite and extracting method therefor

A struvite and a method for extracting the struvite from seawater, concentrated salt water or brine. NH.sub.4HCO.sub.3 and H.sub.3PO.sub.4 are added in the seawater, concentrated salt water or brine, and NH.sub.4HCO.sub.3, H.sub.3PO.sub.4 and the seawater, concentrated salt water or brine are stirred and well mixed to react. Then electromagnetic ionic liquid are dripped, with a dripping time controlled to be 30 to 50 min and pH value of the reaction solution to be within a range of 7.5 to 8.5, to generate white precipitate. Finally, the white precipitate is separated from the liquid, spin dried and packaged to obtain the struvite. The struvite has higher purity and fertilizer efficiency than natural struvite, and also contains potassium, calcium, sulfur and chlorine required for crop growth and dozens of types of trace elements such as molybdenum, zinc, manganese, iron, copper and selenium, which is more suitable for the crop growth.
