A method of producing chlorine dioxide is disclosed. The method may include feeding a reaction mixture into a separator. The reaction mixture may follow a helical path through the separator and produce gaseous chlorine dioxide within the separator. Gaseous chlorine dioxide may be withdrawn from the separator and used to disinfect process water.

The disclosure provides a water-solvated glass/amorphous solid that is an ionic conductor-an electronic insulator, and a dielectric as well as electrochemical devices and processes that use this material, such as batteries, including rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, electrolysis cells, and electronic devices. The electrochemical devices and products use a combination of ionic and electronic conduction as well as internal electric dipoles.

The present invention relates to a method for chlorination and dehydrogenation of ethane, comprising: mixing and reacting a low-melting-point metal chloride with C.sub.2H.sub.6, such that the low-melting-point metal chloride is reduced to a liquid-state low-melting-point metal, and the C.sub.2H.sub.6 is chlorinated and dehydrogenized to give a mixed gas containing HCl, C.sub.2H.sub.6, C.sub.2H.sub.4, C.sub.2H.sub.2 and C.sub.2H.sub.3Cl. In the method, the low-melting-point metal chloride is used as a raw material for chlorination and dehydrogenation, and the low-melting-point metal produced after the reaction is used as an intermediate medium. The method has the characteristics of simple process, low cost and high yield. Moreover, some acetylene and vinyl chloride can be produced as by-products at the same time when the ethylene is produced, by controlling the ratio of ethane to the chloride as desired in production.

A system and method is provided for producing and delivering a product. The system includes a chamber having an inlet end, an outlet end and quenching points positioned therebetween. The inlet end is configured to receive a plurality of precursors and the quenching points are configured to receive water to obtain quenching of the reaction in the chamber thereby providing varying concentration of the resultant product.

The invention relates to a method for treating an aqueous suspension of solid particles, wherein at least one water-soluble polymer is added to the suspension, and wherein said polymer is obtained by polymerizing at least a non-ionic monomer, optionally at least one anionic and/or at least one cationic monomer, in the presence of a multifunctional free radical transfer agent. This method is particularly useful for the treatment of mineral tailings and especially for tailings resulting from oil sand extraction.

A chlorine dioxide generator includes a container body deformable in response to application of a force from the outside. The container body contains therein a solid acidic composition and an aqueous chlorite solution under a non-contact state from each other. The solid acidic composition comprises a porous material containing an acidic substance. The aqueous chlorite solution is sealed within an easily breakable enclosure. In operation, when the container body is deformed, the enclosure contained therein is broken to bring the aqueous chlorite solution into contact with the solid acidic composition, whereby chlorine dioxide gas is generated. This generated chlorine dioxide gas is discharged via a gas discharge port to the outside of the container body.
