US Patent:
20220289609, Sep 15, 2022
Filed:
May 5, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/662219
Inventors:
- Westminster CO, US
James Fredrickson - Irvine CA, US
Joshua Leighton Mertz - West Richland WA, US
David Carlson - Knoxville TN, US
Mark Denton - Oak Ridge TN, US
Gary Hofferber - Richland WA, US
Ja-Kael Luey - Kennewick WA, US
Zechariah James Fitzgerald - Kennewick WA, US
Ronald Merritt Orme - West Richland WA, US
Eric Vincent Penland - Benton City WA, US
International Classification:
C02F 9/00
C02F 1/00
G21F 9/04
G21F 9/12
C02F 1/28
Abstract:
A mobile processing system is disclosed for the removal of radioactive contaminants from nuclear process wastewater. The system is fully scalable, modular, and portable allowing the system to be fully customizable according to site-specific remediation requirements. It is designed to be both transported and operated from standard sized intermodal containers or custom designed enclosures for increased mobility between sites and on-site, further increasing the speed and ease with which the system may be deployed. Additionally, the system is completely modular wherein the various modules perform different forms or stages of wastewater remediation and may be connected in parallel and/or in series. Depending on the needs of the site, one or more different processes may be used. In some embodiments, one or more of the same modules may be used in the same operation.

Titania-Based Treatment Solution And Method Of Promoting Precipitation And Removal Of Heavy Metals From An Aqueous Source

View page
US Patent:
20220227653, Jul 21, 2022
Filed:
Apr 5, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/713521
Inventors:
- Warren NJ, US
Katie Henderson - Smyrna DE, US
Joshua L. Mertz - Townsend DE, US
International Classification:
C02F 11/122
C02F 1/52
Abstract:
A treatment solution and method for removing heavy metal contaminants and oxyanion contaminants from an aqueous solution by promoting the affinity of precipitating the contaminants. The method adjusts the pH and the ORP of the contaminated aqueous solution by applying FeCland/or NaOH reducing agents, and using and applying a titania-based treatment solution of TiO(SO), HSO, and FeSO.

High Capacity Adsorbent For Oxyanions And Cations And Method For Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
20200254438, Aug 13, 2020
Filed:
Apr 30, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/863425
Inventors:
- Glasgow DE, US
James Knoll - Glen Gardner NJ, US
Katie Henderson - Smyrna DE, US
Joshua Mertz - Townsend DE, US
International Classification:
B01J 41/10
B01J 20/06
B01J 20/08
B01J 20/30
Abstract:
An alumina-based adsorbent and method of making exhibiting high affinity and capacity towards cations and oxyanions in a broad pH range and presence of large excess of competitive ions. Alumina based adsorbent is a mixed oxide of alumina existing in tetra-, penta-, and octahedral coordination at specific ratio, and oxides of polyvalent metals of elements titanium, zirconium, tin, cerium, lanthanum, iron, or combinations thereof. The alumina-based adsorbent may be used for selective removal of oxyanions of fluoride, phosphorus, arsenic, chromium, and/or selenium, and/or cations of lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, and/or zinc, from drinking water, industrial streams and wastes, in medicine and food industry.

Filter Media For The Removal Of Particles, Ions, And Biological Materials, And Decolorization In A Sugar Purification Process, And Use Thereof

View page
US Patent:
20190376154, Dec 12, 2019
Filed:
May 23, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/420720
Inventors:
- Glasgow DE, US
Katie Henderson - Smyrna DE, US
Bruce Belcher - Landenberg PA, US
Joshua Mertz - Townsend DE, US
International Classification:
C13B 20/16
B01J 20/20
B01J 20/28
B01D 15/36
B01D 39/20
C02F 9/00
B01J 39/18
C13B 30/02
Abstract:
A filter media for implementation in a sugar purification process that allows for a significant increase in sorbent material while maintaining, and enhancing the decolorization and. hydraulic properties. The filter media incorporates sorbent material, fiber having specific properties that allows for small particle sorbent material without jeopardizing the hydraulic properties of the media, and an electrolyte. The sorbent material is an inorganic, an adsorption, or ion exchange media, or a metal-organic framework. The implementation of this filter media in a sugar purification process eliminates the need for a clarification step during refining while providing for enhanced decolorization and hydraulic properties for fluid flow.
