A system and process are disclosed for dissolution of solids and “difficult-to-dissolve” solids. A solid sample may be ablated in an ablation device to generate nanoscale particles. Nanoparticles may then swept into a coupled plasma device operating at atmospheric pressure where the solid nanoparticles are atomized. The plasma exhaust may be delivered directly into an aqueous fluid to form a solution containing the atomized and dissolved solids. The composition of the resulting solution reflects the composition of the original solid sample.

Process for treatment of wastewater is provided. The wastewater includes suspended or dissolved wastewater components and an aqueous component. During the treatment process, at least a portion of a solids bed through which the wastewater is passed is dissolved using an electric current. Dissolution of the solids bed produces constituents which react with the wastewater and enable separation of the suspended or dissolved wastewater components from the aqueous component. Also provided is a system for carrying out the process.

A ballast water treatment system includes: a chemical agent container for containing a chemical agent for a ballast water treatment; a chemical liquid preparation tank having a tank main body for containing the chemical agent supplied from the chemical agent container and water for dissolving the chemical agent, and a mixture part for mixing the chemical agent with the water in the tank main body; a chemical liquid storage tank for storing the chemical liquid obtained by dissolving the chemical agent in the water in the chemical liquid preparation tank; and a chemical liquid supply part for supplying the chemical liquid stored in the chemical liquid storage tank into ballast water.

A system and a method make a saltwater solution for electrolysis through the process of flowing water through a salt chamber to dissolve salt crystals and outputting the resulting saltwater solution into a saltwater container. The system includes a salt chamber, a remaining quantity of salt crystals, a filter, and a saltwater container. The salt chamber is a chamber that contains the remaining quantity of salt crystals. The salt chamber and the saltwater container are in fluid communication with each other, and thus, the saltwater container can receive the resulting saltwater solution. The salt chamber includes a chamber inlet and a chamber outlet. The filter is connected across the chamber outlet in order to retain undissolved salt crystals within the salt chamber.

A dental irrigation device for heating a solution and mixing solutes within the solution. The present invention utilizes an oscillator and inductive coil to heat and/or mix the solution. A pump then delivers the heated and mixed pressurized solution from a basin ultimately into a dispenser.

A brine machine comprises a salt hopper, a source of water for wetting salt in the salt hopper, a brine hopper positioned in side-by-side relation relative to the salt hopper, a filter providing fluid communication between the salt hopper and the brine hopper, a generally horizontal auger positioned in a base of the salt hopper, and an upwardly directed lift auger having a first end in operable association with an end of the horizontal auger and a second discharge end positioned above a level of brine in the brine hopper. The augers convey solid material from the base of the salt hopper and discharge the material from the machine.

A dissolving and mixing unit for automatically dissolving and mixing medicines includes: a support; a dissolving and mixing device mounted on the support and including two piercer bases and at least one dissolving and mixing channel, wherein each dissolving and mixing channel includes two piercers and an elastic infusion hose connecting the two piercers, and the two piercers of each dissolving and mixing channel are mounted on the two piercer bases respectively; a peristaltic pump mounted on the support and configured to squeeze the elastic infusion hose; first and second bottle-containing modules mounted on the support and configured to hold first and second medicine containers respectively; and a movement mechanism configured to drive at least one of the first bottle-containing module and one piercer base to move, and configured to drive at least one of the second bottle-containing module and the other piercer base to move.

A mixing container includes a body having an upper opening and containing a dissolving agent, at least one receiving chamber protruding outward from an inner peripheral surface of the body, having a hollow defined in the protrusion where a press-through pack (PTP) sheet is fittable from inside the body, and formed from a flexible material, a support including a plate and a releasing hole that communicates with an inlet of the hollow in the receiving chamber when the plate is installed on the inner peripheral surface of the body and allows a substance stored in the PTP sheet to be released into the body, and holds an edge of the PTP sheet between the inner peripheral surface of the body and the plate, and a holding structure that holds the support on the inner peripheral surface of the body.

Disclosed are a solution preparation device, a solution replacement system and a solution replacement method. The solution preparation device comprises a liquid container, a powder container, an upper cover and a controller; the liquid container is provided with a detection element for detecting a specific parameter of a solution; the powder container is arranged above the liquid container, and the upper cover covers a top end of the powder container to form a material holding cavity for placing a powder, a bottom end of the powder container is provided with a material discharge port through which the powder in the material holding cavity enters the liquid container. The solution preparation device further comprises a stopper for blocking the material discharge port, the controller controls the stopper according to the specific parameter to realize opening and closing of the material discharge port.

A method for controlling the saturation level of gas in a liquid discharge includes obtaining temperature and pressure measurements of a solvent in a mixing vessel and obtaining a pressure measurement of a source feedstock in a feedstock tank, correlating the temperature and pressure measurements of the solvent to baseline data to generate a theoretical uptake rate for the source feedstock into the solvent and a theoretical flow rate of the source feedstock into the mixing vessel, and determining a required opening setting for a feedstock valve in the feedstock input line in order to achieve a desired liquid displacement in the mixing vessel. The method includes determining an uptake duration and achieving an uptake displacement equivalent to the reverse of the desired liquid displacement. The method includes generating a valve operating control law for how the feedstock valve should function in a cycle.
