Performance enhancement of electrochemical deionization devices by pre-treatment with cation exchange resins
The methods and systems disclosed here relate to treating water. In certain embodiments, a treatment system comprises an electrochemical water treatment device, a recirculating concentrate stream in fluid communication with the electrochemical water treatment device, a flow control device in fluid communication with a first flow path comprising acidic water and configured to be in fluid communication with the recirculating concentrate stream, and a second flow path comprising feed water and configured to be in fluid communication with the recirculating concentrate stream, and a control system in communication with the flow control device. The treatment system may further comprise a recirculating dilution stream in fluid communication with a second inlet and a second outlet of the electrochemical water treatment device.
PARTICLE SUSPENSIONS OF FLOCCULATING POLYMER POWDERS AND POWDER FLOCCULANT POLYMER BLENDS
Powder blends are described comprising blends of particulate water soluble high molecular weight polymer flocculants. The polymer flocculants can include polyethylene oxide, polyacrylamide, copolymers thereof and combinations thereof. The powder blends allows the use of fine powders while reducing potential air quality and safety issues. The powder blends can be used for waste water purification, fiber dewatering, and the like. The powder blends can be diluted by a water dilution flow prior to entering a waste water stream.
High-density fine bubble-containing liquid producing method and high-density fine bubble-containing liquid producing apparatus
Initial liquid containing fine bubbles is produced by mixing water and air (step S11). Fine bubbles have diameters of less than 1 μm. The density of bubbles in the initial liquid is measured (step S13), and when the measured density is less than a target density (step S14), the initial liquid is heated and reduced in pressure so that the liquid is vaporized (step S15). As a volume of the liquid decreases, the density of fine bubbles increases, and high-density fine bubble-containing liquid is easily obtained. Alternatively, by increasing the density of fine bubbles in the initial liquid with using a filter that does not pass all fine bubbles, high-density fine bubble-containing liquid is easily acquired (step S15). When the density of bubbles in the initial liquid is greater than the target density, the initial liquid is diluted (step S16).
METHOD OF PRODUCING PERMANENTLY STRUCTURED WATER
A method of producing permanently structured water, several products based on superconducting material, such as food, cosmetics, medicals, jewelry, cleaning and radioactivity-reducing product, and various uses of a superconducting material.
Ultrafine bubble generating method, ultrafine bubble-containing liquid manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method, and ultrafine bubble-containing liquid
Ultrafine bubbles with a diameter of less than 1.0 μm are generated in liquid by causing film boiling in liquid by means of a heater.
ELECTRODEIONIZATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DEIONIZED WATER
An electrodeionization device (EDI device) with improved performance for removing weak acid components such as boron includes a deionization chamber partitioned by a pair of ion exchange membranes between an anode and a cathode. A grain size of 0.1 mm or more and 0.4 mm or less is defined as small grain size, and a grain size of more than 0.4 mm is defined as large grain size. In the deionization chamber, a large grain size layer made of an ion exchange resin of large grain size and a mixed grain size layer in which an ion exchange resin of large grain size and an ion exchange resin of small grain size are mixed are arranged along a flow of water to be treated.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INCREASING HYDRATION FROM WATER
A process for treating water includes the steps of passing the water through a conduit having spaced apart cavitation zones and a central laminar flow zone to increase negative hydrogen ions in the water, to increase electron activity, and to decrease molecular clustering, and thereby reduce surface tension of the water for improved hydration by a body consuming the water, including people, animals, and plants.
Method and system for producing deuterium depleted water
The present disclosure provides a system and a method for producing deuterium depleted water. The system includes a chlor-alkali electrolysis cell, a compressor, a cooling water scrubber tower, a hydrogen combustor, a boiler, a cooling condensation apparatus, a crude deuterium depleted water storage tank, a water purification apparatus and a water filling machinery.
