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 method of producing treated ion exchange resin material includes exposing an enclosed vessel containing ion exchange resin and a pre-treatment solution to high energy radiation. The treated ion exchange resin material has reduced organic impurities or total organic carbon (TOC).

An incinerator system includes an evaporator tank having a fluid inlet, a steam vent, and an evaporation cavity and a heating assembly having a plurality of heating rods mounted on a rod spacing mechanism and disposed in the evaporation cavity of the evaporator tank. The rod spacing mechanism is configured to move the plurality of heating rods within the evaporation cavity.

The programmable logic controller is configured to instruct the rod spacing mechanism to move at least one of the plurality of heating rods based on the one or more sensor measurements.

A method and a system for recovering nitrogen, and optionally phosphorus and/or potassium, from a liquid waste stream, such as a stream of urine or manure, or human urine is described. The method comprises passing the waste stream through a multi-compartment electrodialysis bipolar membrane (EDBM) system.

Apparatus and methods are related to treating waste water containing ammonium salts, which contains NH.sub.4.sup.+, SO.sub.4.sup.2−, Cl.sup.−, and Na.sup.+. In such a method, the pH value of the waste water to be treated is adjusted to a specific range in advance; sodium sulfate crystal and relatively concentrated ammonia are obtained by first evaporation, and then sodium chloride crystal and relatively dilute ammonia is obtained by second evaporation; alternatively, sodium chloride crystal and relatively concentrated ammonia is obtained by third evaporation, and then sodium sulfate crystal and relatively dilute ammonia are obtained by fourth evaporation. Ammonia, sodium sulfate, and sodium chloride from the waste water are recovered so that the resources in the waste water can be reused.

The present disclosure relates to methods of treating water to remove contaminants, including harmful metal ions, and water treatment plants for practicing such methods. In an embodiment, the process includes adding a sulfur-containing, metal-decreasing agent; an iron (III)-containing, metalloid-decreasing agent; forming a solid precipitate from the contaminated water, wherein the solid precipitate includes a solid metal sulfide, a solid iron metalloid, a solid calcium metalloid, or a combination thereof; and separating the contaminated water from the solid precipitate to form purified water.

The present invention is directed to an electrochemical device for at least partially removing or reducing a target ionic species from an aqueous solution using faradic immobilization, the electrochemical device including at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode with different void fraction and surface area properties, due to differences in void fraction (also referred to as void ratio) of the at least one first and the at least one second electrode, water flows through an electrode with a high porosity, while the aqueous solution does not flow through an electrode with a low porosity. The asymmetry of the electrodes provides a desired voltage distribution across the device, which equates to a different voltage at each electrode, to control the speciation of the target ionic species at the anode and the cathode.

An apparatus and a method for treating saltwater and removing chlorine in water to make a variety of sodium-based byproducts and chlorine gas is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a feed tank for receiving water. The feed tank is coupled to a plurality of Radio frequency (RF) chambers. Each of the RF chambers comprises an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is coupled to a treated water effluent manifold. Further, each RF chamber is coupled to a vacuum manifold. Each RF chamber comprises a recirculation pipe to pump water back into the feed tank. The RF chamber comprises a RF system used for bombarding RF energy at predefined frequencies on the water in order to liberate chlorine isotope. Additionally, the RF system bombards RF energy to stretch hydrogen bond in the saltwater to a point of breaking a molecule by applying low pressure. The hydrogen bond captures chlorine. Subsequently, the water is sent through the outlet to the treated water effluent manifold.

An embodiment provides a method for determining a filter life, including: introducing an aqueous sample into a filtration device comprising at least one filter and one or more sensors located upstream of the at least one filter, wherein the one or more sensors are capable of measuring a component of the aqueous sample; measuring the component of the aqueous sample using the one or more sensors; identifying a load on the at least one filter based upon the measuring of the component of the aqueous sample and at least one filtration characteristic; and determining the filter life of the at least one filter based upon the identifying. Other aspects are described and claimed.
