Abstract:
A process for preparing an extrudable composition comprising a titanium-containing zeo-litic material having framework type MWW, the process comprising providing a titanium-containing zeolitic material having framework type MWW, having a water absorption ca-pacity of at least 11 weight-%, subjecting the titanium-containing zeolitic material having framework type MWW an acid treatment, optionally incorporating zinc in the acid-treated titanium-containing zeolitic material having framework type MWW; preparing a composi-tion comprising the titanium-containing zeolitic material having framework type MWW obtained from (ii) or (iii), a precursor of a silica binder, water, and a kneading agent, wherein the composition does not comprise a polyethylene oxide.
Abstract:
A filtration apparatus for filtering fluids including a top compartment, a filtration compartment, and a bottom compartment. The filtration compartment includes plural filtration elements arranged in parallel, the filtration elements further including at least one permeate collecting tube, wherein the permeate connecting tube is in fluid communication with the top compartment such that in a filtration operation a continuous permeate flow into a permeate collecting chamber of the top compartment is provided and in a backwash operation permeate collected in the permeate collecting chamber is flushed back through the filtration elements. A method for filtering fluids can use the filtration apparatus.
