The present disclosure relates to lignocellulosic biomass processing and refining to produce hemicellulose and cellulose sugars. Methods and systems for refining a lignocellulosic hydrolysate are provided herein.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, processes, and apparatuses for treating radioactive waste, through systems designed to bind and dry radioactive media. In some of its various embodiments, the system includes at least one helical screw designed to receive and mix liquid wastes with ion exchange media, as well as convey the resulting slurry through one or more of a binding, dewatering, and drying/off-gassing region.

The invention relates to a method for purifying a solution, the method comprising the following successive steps: bringing a solution to be purified into contact with an ion exchange resin by suspending the ion exchange resin in the solution to be purified, the ion exchange resin having the form of particles having a size Dv50 smaller than or equal to 200 m; separating the solution into a purified solution and a loaded resin; regenerating the loaded resin by passing at least one regenerating solution through a compact bed of loaded resin. The invention also relates to an assembly for implementing the method.

Systems and methods for enriching an organic acid from a fermentation broth containing residual color, salts, and carbohydrates using simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography to produce a high purity organic acid extract is disclosed. One embodiment of the method purifies citric acid from a fermentation broth into two product streams: a first product stream rich in salt, color, and carbohydrate impurities, and a second product stream comprising an extract enriched in organic acid.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and equipment to make lithium hydroxide from lithium salts.

The present invention relates to the extraction of lithium from liquid resources such as natural and synthetic brines, leachate solutions from clays and minerals, and recycled products.

The present invention relates to a method for treatment and/or purification of water, in particular wastewater or drinking water, preferably for the adsorptive removal of inorganically or organically-based, impurities, such as trace substances and/or micropollutants, wherein, in a counterflow filter device, e.g. a counterflow adsorption filter column, the water that is to be treated and/or that is to be purified firstly, and, secondly, an, in particular particulate, adsorption material are conducted in a counterflow direction. In particular, a procedure is followed in such a manner that the water to be treated and/or purified is passed through a bed of the adsorption material present in the counterflow filter device for the adsorptive removal of impurities and the bed is exchanged and regenerated by preferably continuous removal and supply of the adsorption material in counterflow to the water that is to be treated and/or that is to be purified.
