Abstract: A current passing device passes current through bodies. The current passing device includes a first current receiving element having an electrical resistance, a second current receiving element having a contact resistance greater than the electrical resistance of the first current receiving element in a state in which the second current receiving element has been brought into direct contact with the first current receiving element without pressing the second current receiving element, a pressing mechanism arranged to press the first current receiving element and the second current receiving element closer together, and an electrically conductive intervening member disposed between the first current receiving element and the second current receiving element. The intervening member has a degree of deformation greater than degrees of deformation of both the first and second current receiving elements in a case where the intervening member has been pressed due to the pressing mechanism.

Abstract: Process, apparatus and article for treating an aqueous solution containing biological contaminants. The process includes contacting an aqueous solution containing a biological contaminant with an aggregate composition comprising an insoluble rare earth-containing compound to form a solution depleted of active biological contaminants. The aggregate includes more than 10.01% by weight of the insoluble rare earth-containing compound. The insoluble rare earth-containing compound can include one or more of cerium, lanthanum, or praseodymium. A suitable insoluble cerium-containing compound can be derived from a cerium carbonate, a cerium oxalate or a cerium salt. The composition can consist essentially of cerium oxides, and optionally, a binder and/or flow aid. The aggregate includes no more than two elements selected from the group consisting of yttrium, scandium, and europium when the aggregate is to be sintered. Although intended for a variety of fluid treatment applications, such applications specifically include removing or deactivating biological contaminants in water.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating liquid by contact with a particulate adsorbent material comprises a regeneration chamber (10) within a reservoir (2) for liquid to be treated. Adsorbent material is recycled along a path including passage through the regeneration chamber (10) and in a body of liquid in the reservoir to contact and treat the liquid. The adsorbent material is capable of regeneration, and the regeneration chamber (10) is defined between two electrodes (36, 38), which can be coupled to a source of electrical power. The treatment process can be continuous with liquid flowing through the reservoir while the adsorbent material is recycled and regenerated. Alternatively, individual quantities of liquid may be treated on a batch basis. A plurality of regeneration chambers may be arranged within a common reservoir, such as in a bank of chambers aligned along an axis thereof.
