The object of the present invention is a method for recirculating a reprocessing effluent comprising chloride ions from an ion exchange resin comprising the following steps: (ii) selecting fractions A, B, and optionally B, directly stemming from a reprocessing effluent comprising chloride ions or after one or several steps for modifying the chloride ion concentration, having concentrations of chloride ions (g/l) of respectively (a), (b) and (b)>0 g/l, with (a)>(b); (iii) transferring by electrodialysis the chloride ions from the fraction B to fraction A for obtaining a fraction C having a chloride ion concentration (c) greater than (a); or (iv) transferring by electrodialysis the chloride ions from fraction B to fraction B, in order to obtain a fraction B having a concentration of chloride ions (b) greater than (b) and then mixing the fractions B and A in order to obtain a fraction C having a chloride ion concentration (c) greater than (a).

Fusion proteins containing a targeting sequence, an exosporium protein, or an exosporium protein fragment that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a Bacillus cereus family member are provided. Recombinant Bacillus cereus family members expressing such fusion proteins are also provided. Genetically inactivated Bacillus cereus family members and recombinant Bacillus cereus family members that overexpress exosporium proteins are also provided. Seeds coated with the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members and methods for using the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members (e.g., for stimulating plant growth) are also provided. Various modifications of the recombinant Bacillus cereus family members that express the fusion proteins are further provided. Fusion proteins comprising a spore coat protein and a protein or peptide of interest, recombinant bacteria that express such fusion proteins, seeds coated with such recombinant bacteria, and methods for using such recombinant bacteria (e.g., for stimulating plant growth) are also provided.

Systems and methods to remove carbon from liquids such as seawater and other natural waters are described. The systems and methods utilize photoactive compounds to alter the pH of a fluid, drawing carbon out of the liquid and channeling it into a secondary environment. The carbon can be captured and sequestered or used in the formation of a product.

A method for on-site aerial dissemination of Oxidatively Converted particles of contamination with substantial atmospheric disposal, commonly known as aerosolization, of the water component of all untreated or partially treated leachates and all untreated or partially treated wastewaters. These leachates and wastewaters (defined as water containing 2 or more detectable and known contaminants) are collected on site and the defined leachate or defined wastewater, having multiple defined and known contaminating suspended and perhaps precipitated solids therein, and aerially disseminating or aerially oxidizing or commonly known aerosolizing said contaminants over a chosen contaminant collections area (defined as 1-300 meters from the nozzles) and disposing of the water component of the leachate or wastewater through atmospheric disposal and lastly evaporation on the site of the leachate or wastewaters' generation. The commercial process can be known as AerosoliZLD leachate or wastewater disposal under the intent of Federal Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) regulations.

Disclosed herein are compositions and using said compositions in methods for increasing hydrogen in the rumen of ruminants, and in methods of increasing enteric hydrogen emissions in subjects, landfills and topsoil, in fermentation. Also disclosed herein are compositions and using said compositions in methods for increasing hydrogen production from wastewater.

The invention relates to a process for recovering ammonia from an initial aqueous mixture comprising ammonium ions and ammonium salts, the process comprising providing an initial aqueous mixture, desorbing ammonia using humid, heated air to obtain a desorbing liquid phase and a desorbing gas phase, separating the desorbing liquid phase, mixing the desorbing gas phase with a capture gas to obtain a gas mixture, and condensing the gas mixture to obtain a condensate comprising ammonium ions and salt, and an outlet gas. The desorbing liquid phase comprises ammonium ions and ammonium salts in a total concentration of less than 100 ppm. The capture gas comprises carbon dioxide in an amount of at least 50,000 ppm. The total concentration of ammonium ions and ammonium salts in the condensate is higher than the total concentration in the initial aqueous mixture. The invention further relates to a system for performing an ammonium recovery process, a composting system, a composting process and a system for composting and recovering ammonia.

A method of separating a lignin-rich solid phase from a solution suspension, by pretreating a lignocellulosic biomass with a pretreatment fluid having remove soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles; separating the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass from the pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles; flocculating the separated pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles using polyethylene oxide (i.e., PEO) or cationic Poly acrylamide (i.e., CPAM) as a flocculating agent; and filtering the flocculated separated pretreatment fluid with soluble components, colloidal material and primarily lignin containing particles to remove agglomerates.

The present invention relates to a process and, more specifically, to a process for the removal of components from a starting material. Optionally, the process is used for the removal of contaminants from ion exchange regenerant material.

An efficient, cost-effective, and efficacious technique for removing coal ash and other pollutants from waterways, ponds, marshes, holding tanks and other water sources and supplies. An apparatus comprising an open cage including electromagnets and/or permanent magnets and/or electrodes is supplied with electrical power to extract materials such as rare earth elements and/or heavy metals. The materials levitate to the surface, forming a slurry while leaving water substantially free of such materials. Rare earth magnets electrically connect electrolysis electrode structures and serve as electrolysis electrode segments.
