The invention provides a clog-free condensation system for a pyrolysis apparatus used in the thermal degradation of waste plastics that contain polyethylene terephthalate (PET). A conduit carries vapor from a pyrolysis reactor to a condenser having an inlet for an oil-immiscible solvent stream; a liquid outlet for removal of the oil-immiscible solvent, benzoic acid, and other condensed pyrolysates; and a vapor outlet to pass uncondensed vapors. A liquid-liquid phase separator connected to the liquid outlet continuously separates the two immiscible phases. Benzoic acid is precipitated and removed from the oil-immiscible phase, and the oil-immiscible solvent is returned to the condenser as a solvent stream. The invention provides a method for condensing PET pyrolysis vapors without formation of clogs in the condensation apparatus, and provides a method for the continuous recovery of benzoic acid and other condensable pyrolysates from a PET-containing waste plastic stream.

Erosion, caused by deposition of aluminum chloride, of the inner surface of a side wall of a pipe is reduced. A trichlorosilane production method includes a distillation step (S3) in which a discharge liquid (10) discharged from a distillation column (4) is caused to flow through an inner space (19) of a second pipe (100) having a side wall (12) of which the inner surface (15) is covered with a ceramic layer (13), so that the discharge liquid (10) is recovered from the distillation column (4).

Methods and systems for converting ammonium waste streams into certifiably Organic ammonium salts having a variety of uses in greenhouse gas-reducing activities are herein described. The resulting ammonium salt compositions can be used to enhance crop yield.

An atmospheric water generation system absorbs water from an atmospheric air stream into a desiccant flowing along a flow path of a closed desiccant circulation loop. To ensure that the desiccant remains within the closed desiccant circulation loop, the atmospheric water generation system encompasses a membrane-based water extraction device that the desiccant flows through. The desiccant flows through the membrane-based water extraction device on a first side of a membrane, and the membrane separates the desiccant from a water-collection flow. Water absorbed into the desiccant passes from the desiccant, through the porous membrane, and into the water-collection flow, at least in part due to differences in temperature and/or pressure characteristics of the water flow and the desiccant flow. Water collected within the water-collection flow is directed to a storage tank for usage.

A water vending apparatus is disclosed. The water vending system includes a water vapor distillation apparatus and a dispensing device. The dispensing device is in fluid communication with the fluid vapor distillation apparatus and the product water from the fluid vapor distillation apparatus is dispensed by the dispensing device.

A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

The present invention discloses an integrated new technique and apparatus for recycling volatile organic compounds of coating printing. The new technique collects a mixed gas of volatile organic compounds produced in the process of coating and drying of a coating machine with a volatiles collecting hood of coating machine, compresses and lead the mixed gas of volatile organic compounds into a condensation system for condensation; the obtained condensate enters a gas-liquid separator to obtain a coating solvent with high concentration; non-condensable lean gas enters a membrane separation and enrichment system to obtain a mixed gas of high concentration organic compounds after membrane separation and enrichment with a complete set of membrane assembly, and then returns to front of the condensation system to repeat the integrated technique. The separation membrane as claimed in the present invention has an extremely high permselectivity for volatile organic compounds of coating printing and can quickly enrich the volatile organic compounds. Recycling rate of volatile organic compounds of the apparatus may reach 90%, and the content of organic compounds in the tail gas emission after treatment is no more than 1 g/m.sup.3. This integrated new technique largely reduces the production cost of coating printing industry and at the same time protects the atmospheric environment.

A cooling system utilizes an organic ionic salt composition for dehumidification of an airflow. The organic ionic salt composition absorbs moisture from an inlet airflow to produce an outlet airflow with a reduce moisture from that of the inlet airflow. The organic ionic salt composition may be regenerated, wherein the absorbed moisture is expelled by heating with a heating device. The heating device may be an electrochemical heating device, such as a fuel cell, an electrochemical metal hydride heating device, an electrochemical heat pump or compressor, or a condenser of a refrigerant cycle, which may utilize an electrochemical pump or compressor. The efficiency of the cooling system may be increased by utilization of the waste heat the cooling system. The organic ionic salt composition may circulate back and forth or in a loop between a conditioner, where it absorbs moisture, to a regenerator, where moisture is desorbed by heating.
