Disclosed is a method for removing an antibiotic resistance gene by using ionizing radiation, wherein same comprises treating antibiotic-microorganism residues using ionizing radiation to destroy the DNA of microbial cells, thereby realizing the effective removal of the resistance gene, and same can simultaneously degrade residual antibiotics, wherein the ionizing radiation is performed using gamma rays or a high energy electron beam generated by an electron accelerator. The radiation in the method can be performed at room temperature and has broad application prospects in the environmental field.

Methods and Apparatus are provided for irradiating a liquid with accelerated electrons. The liquid is prepared. The liquid is mixed with particles having at least one luminescent substance, where the particles are formed such that the particles are dispersed in the liquid after mixing. The liquid is irradiated with an electromagnetic radiation, which induces the at least one luminescent substance to luminesce. An actual value of a physical quantity characterizing the luminescence of the luminescent substance is detected. The liquid is irradiated with accelerated electrons until the detected actual value corresponds to a target value.

A system and method removes bound water from partially dewatered sludge by cavitating the partially dewatered sludge mixture with air bubbles; irradiating the cavitated partially dewatered sludge with an electron beam to create ozone within air bubbles; and filtering the water from the irradiated cavitated partially dewatered sludge.

A water treatment system includes a water passage, a magnet and a hydroxyl radical generator. Water flows through the water passage. The magnet is adjacent to the water passage and produces a magnetic field in the water passage, The hydroxyl radical generator generates hydroxyl radicals in the water in the water passage. A water treatment method includes the steps of providing a water passage, producing a magnetic field in the water passage, flowing water through the magnetic field and generating, while the water is in the magnetic field, hydroxyl radicals in the water. The water can be recirculated through the water passage a number of times.

A method and system for water purification includes a particle accelerator configured to generate a particle beam and a conduit configured to be substantially in line with the particle beam wherein said electron beam is incident on a fluid flowing through the conduit. The electron beam can be oriented to be substantially head on to the direction of flow of the fluid in the conduit. A shielding assembly can be configured around the conduit. A cartridge filtering system and contaminant filtering system can be provided to remove additional contaminants.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for using irradiated tertiary treated sewage effluent (TTSE) for use in upstream and downstream well operations are disclosed. In some implementations, the TTSE is treated with ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays or electron beam radiation, in order to sterilize the TTSE. The sterilized TTSE is utilized in a well treatment operation, such as drilling operations, completion operations, pressure maintenance operations, and hydraulic fracturing operations. Sterilization of the TTSE prior to introduction into a well prevents damage to the well, such as fouling of a reservoir or reduction in permeability of the reservoir or both.

A method and a system for producing a change in a medium disposed in an artificial container. The method places in a vicinity of the medium at least one of a plasmonics agent and an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy through the artificial container to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent.

A process for treating aged oil by electron beam irradiation is disclosed, comprising the following steps: step 1, homogenizing the aged oil and then feeding the aged oil into a distributor; step 2, forming a liquid layer having a certain thickness on the distributor; step 3, installing and debugging an electron beam irradiation device on the distributor; step 4, installing and debugging a phased-array microwave emitter on the distributor after installing and debugging the electron beam irradiation device; step 5, turning on the electron beam irradiation device and the phased-array microwave emitter; and step 6, dividing the treated aged oil and then allowing the aged oil after dividing to enter an oil pool and a water pool for standing. Oil flows out from an upper layer of the oil pool, a lower layer of the oil pool flows back to an aged oil storage pool.
