A purification method for separating and purifying an organic solvent from a liquid mixture of an organic solvent and water, the organic solvent having a boiling point of more than 100° C. at 1 atm, includes the steps of: passing the liquid mixture through a first ion exchange device; supplying the liquid mixture discharged from the first ion exchange device to a pervaporation device to selectively separate water component; supplying the organic solvent recovered from the concentration side of the pervaporation device to an evaporator to obtain a purified organic solvent; and passing, through the second ion exchange device, a portion of liquid containing the organic solvent and flowing at a first position subsequent to the first ion exchange device. The liquid discharged from the second ion exchange device is returned to a second position which is at a preceding stage of the pervaporation device.

A method for purifying a nonaqueous liquid substance includes: filling a cartridge container with a macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in a water-wet state to obtain an ion exchange resin-filled cartridge filled with the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin before water content reduction; reducing a water content of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in the cartridge container until a water content (A) of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin after water content reduction becomes 90 to 97% of a water content (B) of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in a saturated equilibrium state; an initial blowing step of allowing the nonaqueous liquid substance before being purified to pass inside the cartridge container filled with the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin after water content reduction and discharging an initial blow effluent from inside the cartridge container; and purification.

Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling performance of a mixed ion exchange media comprising two or more media. The weighted average of a quantity of the first media having a first rate of exchange to a quantity of a second media having a second rate of exchange is determined based on predetermined requirements for the resulting mixed media. After determining the weighted average, the first and second media are mixed resulting in a mixed media having a third rate of exchange. The mixed media is introduced to an ion exchange column. Contaminated liquid is then introduced to the column creating a mass transfer zone within the column. The mixed media is generally considered optimized when it meets three conditions simultaneously: 100% safety limitation, 100% media capacity used, and effluent criteria are met.

A method for fluid treatment that provides variable or alternative regeneration cycles within the same fluid treatment device. The duration of all stages of the regeneration cycle can be adjusted depending upon the amount of fluid treated so that regenerant resources such as water are not underutilized and waste is not discharged unnecessarily into the environment. Additionally or alternatively, a regeneration sequence may include a fluid release sequence in which a fluid is released from a water treatment tank by successive linear movement of a piston in a valve assembly.

A resin for removing phosphorus from water body, and a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. The particle size of the resin is 0.5-0.8 mm; the resin has a porous structure, the specific surface area is 8-25 m.sup.2/g, and the pore size distribution is 3-15 nm, the wet apparent density is 0.68-0.74 g/cm.sup.3; the wet true density is 1.12-1.18 g/cm.sup.3: and the water content of the resin is 43-57% in percentage by weight. The resin is loaded with a functional group having a lanthanum-oxygen bond, so that the resin can selectively adsorb phosphate radicals in the water body. The resin can selectively remove phosphorus in the water body by using a mode of loading lanthanum on weak acid cation resin and utilizing high selectivity of the lanthanum-oxygen bond to phosphate radicals, is easy to resolve and low in synthesis cost, and can be repeatedly used. Phosphorus in eutrophicated water and waste water can be effectively removed, the content of phosphate radicals in the water body can be controlled within 20 ppm, the phosphorus removal cost of the water body is reduced and the resin has great advantages compared with conventional disposable phosphorus adsorbents.
