A method for recovering water from purified terephthalic acid production wastewater includes: producing purified terephthalic acid comprising purified terephthalic acid feedstock and wastewater comprising impurities; separating the purified terephthalic acid feedstock from the wastewater comprising impurities; transferring the wastewater to a tank; adjusting the p H of the wastewater with a basic solution; adjusting the temperature of the wastewater; passing the wastewater to a column; contacting the wastewater with an ion exchange resin to remove the impurities; and recovering the water depleted of impurities.

The present invention provides a method and a system for the isolation and purification of nucleic acids from nucleic acid-containing material using a modified porous material containing cationic groups in a solid-liquid phase system. In some embodiments, the present invention is capable of obtaining nucleic acids with sufficient purity and quantity in a relatively simple way to enable accurate subsequent analysis or processing. In some embodiments, the liquid phase comprises an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS), comprising a first phase and a second phase, and the solid phase comprises a porous material, wherein the two phases travel through the porous material. In some embodiments, the nucleic acids enter the pores of the porous material and subsequently travel through the porous material while preferentially partitioning into one of the phases.

An energy efficient and durable thermal swing type carbon dioxide recovery and concentration device can be made smaller and use low-temperature heat waste of 100 C. or less. A honeycomb rotor carries adsorption particles having a sorption capacity for carbon dioxide. The rotor is rotated in a sealed casing divided into at least an sorption zone and a desorption zone and is brought into contact with material gas that contains carbon dioxide in a state wherein the honeycombs in the sorption zone are moist so as to adsorb the carbon dioxide while carrying out evaporative cooling of water. Then, the honeycombs that have adsorbed the carbon dioxide are moved to the desorption zone and brought into contact with low pressure vapor so as to desorb high concentration carbon dioxide. Thus, it is possible to continuously recover carbon dioxide at a high recovery rate and high concentration.
