Abstract:
The present invention pertains to an ultraviolet sterilization device (1) for irradiating with ultraviolet light a fluid flowing through a flow passage (6) having an inlet opening (4) and an outlet opening (5), and sterilizing the fluid. The ultraviolet sterilization device is equipped with a light guide (2) formed to tubular shape, and having a flow passage inside, as well as having a light scattering means (8) on the outside peripheral surface, and an ultraviolet light source (3) arranged on the outside surface of the light guide, for irradiating the light guide with ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet light source irradiating the light guide is scattered by the light scattering means, and irradiates the flow passage through the inside peripheral surface of the light guide.
Abstract:
An optical fluid treatment device comprising at least a holder provided with an aperture, a lamp device at least partly located in the aperture. The aperture comprises a fluid passage extending in a main fluid flow direction between a fluid inlet opening and a fluid outlet opening. The fluid passage extends at least partly along the lamp device, wherein the lamp device has an elongated shape extending substantially perpendicularly to the main fluid flow direction.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a quartz tube socket mounted to an open channel-type UV disinfection system and coupled to a quartz tube having one end portion, the quartz tube socket having one side coupled to an electric cable end. The quartz tube socket includes a lamp socket fixing handle coupled to the electric cable end at the other side of the quartz tube socket, a sealing fixture fitted around and coupled to one side of the lamp socket fixing handle, an O-ring fitted around the sealing fixture, a frame clamp nut fitted around the sealing fixture after the O-ring, a sleeve stopper fitted around the sealing fixture after the frame clamp nut, an O-ring fitted around the sealing fixture after the sleeve stopper, a V-sealing installed at one side end of the sealing fixture, a backup ring installed after the V-sealing, a sealing collar installed after the backup ring, a V-sealing fitted after the sealing collar, a backup ring fitted and installed after the V-sealing, and a lamp base socket housing fitted around and coupled to an end of the lamp socket fixing handle.
Abstract:
A process has been developed to selectively dissociate target molecules into component products compositionally distinct from the target molecule, wherein the bonds of the target molecule do not reform because the components are no longer reactive with each other. Dissociation is affected by treating the target molecule with light at a frequency and intensity, alone or in combination with a catalyst in an amount effective to selectively break bonds within the target molecule. Dissociation does not result in re-association into the target molecule by the reverse process, and does not produce component products which have a change in oxidation number or state incorporated oxygen or other additives because the process does not proceed via a typical reduction-oxidation mechanism. This process can be used for the remediation of water, particularly ballast water.
Abstract:
A system for treating a medium, such as water, with ultraviolet light is provided. The system can include an ultraviolet treatment chamber that is shaped to reduce reflections of the ultraviolet light within the ultraviolet treatment chamber and/or improve absorption of the ultraviolet light by the medium. Furthermore, the system can add an agent to the medium within the treatment chamber to further treat one or more contaminants that may be present within the medium. Still further, additional treatment, such as filtering the medium with a permeable material can be implemented within the treatment system.

Abstract:
A photoelectrocatalytic oxidizing device having a photoanode being constructed from a conducting metal such as Ti as the support electrode. Alternatively, the photoanode is a composite electrode comprising a conducting metal such as Ti as the support electrode coated with a thin film of sintered nanoporous TiO2. The device is useful in methods for treating an aqueous solution such as groundwater, wastewater, drinking water, ballast water, aquarium water, and aquaculture water to reduce amounts of a contaminant. The method being directed at reducing the amount and concentration of contaminants in an aqueous solution comprising providing an aqueous solution comprising at least one contaminant, and, photoelectrocatalytically oxidizing the contaminant, wherein the contaminant is oxidized by a free radical produced by a photoanode constructed from an anatase polymorph of Ti, a rutile polymorph of Ti, or a nanoporous film of TiO2.
