METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WASTEWATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240173671 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WASTEWATER

Simplified Explanation

The method for treating wastewater containing fluorine involves applying a vacuum to a membrane unit, injecting wastewater into the unit, recovering hydrofluoric acid gas, injecting sweep gas, and forming a metal fluoride through a scrubbing process.

  • Applying a vacuum to a membrane unit
  • Injecting wastewater into the membrane unit
  • Recovering hydrofluoric acid gas by evaporating hydrofluoric acid in the wastewater
  • Injecting sweep gas to discharge remaining hydrofluoric acid gas
  • Forming a metal fluoride by reacting the recovered hydrofluoric acid gas with a metal oxide or metal hydroxide

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries dealing with wastewater treatment, particularly those with high levels of fluorine contamination.

Problems Solved

This method effectively removes fluorine from wastewater, preventing environmental contamination and health hazards associated with fluorine exposure.

Benefits

The technology offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for treating wastewater containing fluorine, reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Fluorine Wastewater Treatment Technology for Industrial Use"

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for treating wastewater containing fluorine is disclosed. the method for treating wastewater includes applying a vacuum to a membrane unit including a membrane having a hollow, injecting wastewater into the membrane unit so that the wastewater contacts an outer surface of the membrane, recovering hydrofluoric acid gas by evaporating hydrofluoric acid (hf) in the wastewater based on a vacuum applied to the inner surface of the membrane and moving the evaporated hydrofluoric acid (hf) to the inner surface through the membrane, injecting sweep gas into the membrane unit to discharge hydrofluoric acid gas remaining on the inner surface of the membrane, and forming a metal fluoride by reacting the recovered hydrofluoric acid gas with a metal oxide or metal hydroxide using a scrubbing process.
