Using Liquid Desiccant As A Regenerable Filter For Capturing And Deactivating Contaminants

View page
US Patent:
7306650, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
Feb 28, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/477385
Inventors:
Steven J. Slayzak - Denver CO, US
Ren S. Anderson - Broomfield CO, US
Ronald D. Judkoff - Golden CO, US
Daniel M. Blake - Golden CO, US
Todd B. Vinzant - Golden CO, US
Joseph P. Ryan - Golden CO, US
Assignee:
Midwest Research Institute - Kansas City MO
International Classification:
B01D 53/14
US Classification:
95 91, 95231, 96118, 96120
Abstract:
A method, and systems for implementing such method, for purifying and conditioning air of weaponized contaminants. The method includes wetting a filter packing media with a salt-based liquid desiccant, such as water with a high concentration of lithium chloride. Air is passed through the wetted filter packing media and the contaminants in are captured with the liquid desiccant while the liquid desiccant dehumidifies the air. The captured contaminants are then deactivated in the liquid desiccant, which may include heating the liquid desiccant. The liquid desiccant is regenerated by applying heat to the liquid desiccant and then removing moisture. The method includes repeating the wetting with the regenerated liquid desiccant which provides a regenerable filtering process that captures and deactivates contaminants on an ongoing basis while also conditioning the air. The method may include filtration effectiveness enhancement by electrostatic or inertial means.

View page
US Patent:
7364890, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Jul 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/917376
Inventors:
William S. Adney - Golden CO, US
Todd B. Vinzant - Golden CO, US
Michael E. Himmel - Littleton CO, US
Assignee:
Midwest Research Institute - Kansas City MO
International Classification:
C12N 9/24
C12P 21/04
US Classification:
435200, 435 697
Abstract:
The invention provides a thermal tolerant (thermostable) cellulase, AviIII, that is a member of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family.
