The present invention relates to the process of purification of boric acid by ion exchange method. Boric acid is dissolved in hot demineralized water. The hot solution is pressure-filtered. The hot saturated solution, which is purified from water-insoluble, is passed through a column containing strong cation exchange resin, followed by a column containing weak anion exchange resin at the same temperature and cooled afterwards. The crystals settling by cooling are separated from the mother liquor, the amount of aqueous solution within them is reduced and then dried. The waste solution formed during crystallization and filtrate formed after separation of crystals from aqueous solution are mixed and used in boric acid dissolving process. The developed method enables the reduction of sodium, sulfate, chloride and iron impurities of technical grade boric acid to less than 1 ppm and is more economic and environmental friendly than current methods.

The disclosure includes systems and methods of producing cannabidiol (CBD) isolate. In some embodiments, a method includes dissolving, via an agitated vessel, CBD oil in a solvent to thereby form a slurry comprising CBD isolate and excess solvent, and sending at least a portion of the slurry from the agitated vessel to an agitated Nutsche filter dryer. Some embodiments include pressurizing an internal portion of the agitated Nutsche filter dryer to remove the excess solvent and capture the CBD isolate in a filter of the agitated Nutsche filter dryer.

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) material can be placed in large volume configurations such as needed for cryopumps, high surface area filters, scaffolding for coatings, transition radiation detectors, neutron detectors, and similar systems where large volumes may range from cubic millimeters to cubic meters and beyond. The technology to secure the BNNT material includes creating a scaffold of a material acceptable to the final system such as stainless steel wires for a cryopump. The BNNTs can be arranged in the scaffold by freeze drying, filtration technologies, conformal surface attachment and BNNT glue where the as-synthesized BNNT material has been partially purified or fully purified and dispersed in a dispersant.

The present invention discloses a saline glycerine wastewater treatment system and technology. The whole technological process mainly includes a reaction process, an evaporation process, a crystallization process, a filtration process and a drying process. The present invention first proposes the use of an ammonia-alkali reaction principle to treat high-salt glycerine wastewater, which mainly solves the problem of treating a large amount of calcium chloride-containing glycerine wastewater produced in the production process of propylene oxide and epichlorohydrin in chlor-alkali industry, and places emphasis on solving the problems that low value-added calcium chloride produced in the wastewater treatment process of a traditional method has low quality, is basically accumulated as solid waste and is difficult to treat, and chloride ions have adverse effects on the biochemical process of wastewater treatment. By-products of high-quality calcium carbonate and ammonium chloride products have high economic benefits and social environmental protection benefits.

A cyclone type liquid-vapor separator includes a chamber including: an internal space wherein the treatment liquid introduced into the internal space is depressurized and evaporated; a vapor outlet formed on a top of the chamber and through which vapors generated through the evaporation is discharged; and a concentrated liquid outlet formed on a bottom of the chamber and through which the concentrated treatment liquid is discharged; an inlet part coupled to a side surface of the chamber in a tangent line direction of an inner peripheral surface of the chamber, the treatment liquid introduced into the chamber is turned in the form of vortexes along the inner peripheral surface of the chamber, and at least one partition wall disposed in an area between the inlet part and the vapor outlet of the internal space of the chamber and protruding from the inner peripheral wall of the chamber to prevent mist contained in the vapors from moving upwardly.
