Laundry treatment appliances for use in a typical household include a tub that has an opening to provide access to the interior and at least partially defines a treating chamber into which fabric items such as clothes, towels, or linens can be placed to undergo a washing operation. A system can be provided for recirculating wash liquid through the tub to reduce water consumption. At least one tank or reservoir and a coagulant dosing system can be included for the chemical treatment of wash water as part of the wash liquid recirculation system. The tank can also serve to separate coagulated solids from the wash water.

The invention relates to a method and a system for treatment of an underwater surface (S) and material removed from it at a cleaning site. The underwater surface is cleaned by a brush device (1), by which effluent containing solid matter removed from the underwater surface in connection with cleaning is conveyed to a treatment unit (5) where the effluent is subjected to separation and filtering. In a first step, the solid matter contained in the effluent is separated from the effluent in a form as unbroken as possible, immediately followed by a second step in which the effluent is precipitated. Said second step is immediately followed by a third step in which the effluent is filtered. The filtered effluent is discharged directly back to a body of water or to another clean water connection at the cleaning site. The effluent may be subjected to additional filtering and/or disinfection, if necessary.

Processes for producing olefins may include electrolyzing an aqueous solution comprising metal chloride, where electrolyzing the aqueous solution causes at least a portion of the metal chloride to undergo chemical reaction to produce a treatment composition comprising hypochlorite. The processes may further include contacting at least a portion of the treatment composition with the sour water at a pH from 8 to 12, where the sour water comprises sulfides and the contacting causes reaction of the sulfides in the sour water with the hypochlorite to produce a treated aqueous mixture comprising at least metal sulfates and metal chlorides, where the metal sulfates are present in the treated aqueous mixture as precipitated solids. The processes may further include separating the precipitated solids from the treated aqueous mixture to produce a treated effluent comprising at least the metal chloride.

An apparatus for purifying water to be purified is provided with a tank with a bottom to receive sediment, an inlet connected to the bottom itself, at least one pump, outside the tank and connected to the inlet, at least one conduit disposed axially inside the tank, diverging upward and fluidically connected to the inlet to receive pressurized water fed by the pump, and a hydraulic accelerator/mixer assembly disposed in the tank and which connects the inlet to the conduit. The hydraulic accelerator/mixer assembly is configured to increase the speed of the flow of water to be purified, introduced into the tank.

The invention relates to a method for reducing emission of ammonia from a livestock housing. The method comprises applying a composition comprising a compound that restrains ammonia volatilization onto freshly excreted manure by an animal in the livestock housing. Because the compound is deposited onto freshly excreted manure, ammonia volatilization is tackled at the source, rather than at a later moment, e.g. in a manure pit, when contact of faeces and urine, and therefore the conversion of urea to ammonia under the influence of urease has already led to volatilization of ammonia.

A method for efficiently removal of oxidised selenium from liquid, such as FGD wastewater. The method involves adding a non-iron-based reducing agent (e.g. sodium dithionite) and preferably Fe(II) ions to the liquid at a pH of above 7.5 or 8 and precipitating elemental selenium from the liquid.

A server that monitors a water purification apparatus according to a voice command and the water purification apparatus are provided, and according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server that monitors the water purification apparatus according to the voice command includes a voice processor that receives the voice command from the water purification apparatus and identifies a user who issues the voice command.

The present invention relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and discloses a bioaugmentation treatment process for lithium battery producing wastewater. The method comprises the following steps: 1) introducing wastewater into a hydrolytic acidification tank, and adding Enterobacter sp. NJUST50 and activated sludge to the hydrolytic acidification tank for hydrolytic acidification treatment; 2) introducing the effluent into an anoxic tank, and adding Enterobacter sp. NJUST50 and anaerobic activated sludge for anoxic treatment; 3) introducing the effluent into an aerobic tank, and adding Enterobacter sp. NJUST50 and aerobic activated sludge for aerobic treatment; 4) introducing the effluent into an anoxic filter tank, and adding Enterobacter sp. NJUST50 and anaerobic activated sludge to the filter tank for treatment; and 5) introducing the effluent into a biological aerated filter tank, and adding a sludge mixture of Enterobacter sp. NJUST50 with aerobic activated sludge to the filter tank for treatment.
