Wastewater Purification Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18017794 titled 'Wastewater Purification Method
The wastewater purification method described in the abstract involves several key steps to effectively treat wastewater and recover valuable components.
- Supplying a first mixed stream containing an acid component, wastewater with water, a nitrile-based monomer, and ammonia to a first column.
- Recovering the nitrile-based monomer from an upper discharge stream from the first column.
- Supplying a second mixed stream, combining a lower discharge stream from the first column with a base component, to a second column.
- Recovering the ammonia from an upper discharge stream from the second column and separating purified wastewater.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes a multi-step process to treat wastewater and recover valuable components.
- Efficiently separates nitrile-based monomer and ammonia from wastewater streams.
- Provides a sustainable method for wastewater purification.
Potential Applications:
- Industrial wastewater treatment.
- Chemical manufacturing processes.
- Environmental remediation projects.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient removal of pollutants from wastewater.
- Recovery of valuable components for reuse.
- Reduction of environmental impact from wastewater discharge.
Benefits:
- Cost-effective wastewater treatment.
- Resource recovery from wastewater streams.
- Compliance with environmental regulations.
Commercial Applications:
- Wastewater treatment plants.
- Chemical manufacturing facilities.
- Environmental engineering companies.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method compare to traditional wastewater treatment processes? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a larger scale?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of wastewater treatment focuses on improving efficiency and sustainability of treatment methods. Researchers are exploring new materials and processes to enhance wastewater purification techniques.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a wastewater purification method, the method including: supplying a first mixed stream, in which an acid component and wastewater including water, a nitrile-based monomer, and ammonia are mixed, to a first column; recovering the nitrile-based monomer from an upper discharge stream from the first column; supplying a second mixed stream, in which a lower discharge stream from the first column and a base component are mixed, to a second column; and recovering the ammonia from an upper discharge stream from the second column and separating purified wastewater.
