Abstract:
There is disclosed a liquid filter system that includes a liquid filter apparatus configured to self-clean without removal of the filter apparatus from the filter system. The filter apparatus uses both a filter media for filtering solids as well as a spin motion imparted to fluid being filtered so that centrifugal force can remove solids from the liquid being filtered. The liquid filter system also includes a gas pulse nozzle in fluid communication with the liquid filter apparatus and is configured to flow gas into the filter media to expel water and debris trapped in the filter media without removing the filter media from the filter system.
Abstract:
A CONTAMINANT ADSORPTION IS PROVIDED THAT INCLUDES A SELF-ASSEMBLED MONOLAYERS ON MESOPOROUS SUPPORTS (SAMMS) ON A LATTICE SUPPORT STRUCTURE SUCH AS SINTERED METAL WIRE MESH (180). INDIVIDUAL WIRE FIBERS OF THE SINTERED WIRE MESH MAY HAVE A FILM COATING OF MESOPOROUS MATERIAL (12) THAT IS FUNCTIONALIZED FOR A TARGET METAL. THE MESH MATERIAL IS FORMED INTO FILTRATION ELEMENTS WITH OR WITHOUT PARTICULATE FILTRATION MEDIA. SYSTEMS EMPLOYING SUCH FILTRATION ELEMENTS IN ONE OR MULTIPLE STAGES ARE ALSO DISCLOSED WITH AN OPTIONAL ACID WAS STRIPPING SYSTEM FOR REGENERATING SAMMS AND TO FACILITATE RECLAMATION OF CONTAMINANTS THAT CAN BE REFINED INTO USABLE COMMERCIAL MATERIALS.
