Disclosed is a plasma sterilizer apparatus for a pipe and, more particularly, to a plasma sterilizer apparatus for a pipe, which can be easily mounted on a pipe and effectively sterilize harmful microorganisms contained in water or raw materials flowing through a pipe. A plasma sterilizer apparatus for a pipe comprises: a first connection member connected to one side of a pipe; a second connection member connected to the other side of the pipe; a first electrode mounting member disposed in contact with the first connection member; a second electrode mounting member disposed in contact with the second connecting member; a first electrode member provided on the first electrode mounting member; and a second electrode member provided on the second electrode mounting member.
Abstract:
An equipment for disposal of cyanobacteria in stagnant waters has a float structure, to which two types of bipolar electrodes (1 and 6) are mounted under the surface of water, interconnected and supplied with electric direct current via an alternator (10). The equipment comprises a supporting float (5) having the shape of a hollow body, in which there is a transversely positioned rib (4) with an attached suspended electrode (1), interconnected to supplies of photovoltaic cells (8) and alternator (10), fixed on the rib (4) there is the device (9) for utilizing wind power, connected to an alternator (10), driving the water pump (2), which is placed in the delivery pipe (3) and is connected directly to the axis of the device (9), for utilization of wind power. Fixed on the supporting float (5) there is the upper float (7) with the anchored grid electrode (6) and with the stored photovoltaic cells (8), interconnected with the electrodes (1) and (6). The delivery pipe (3) is connected to the water pump (2), and the outlet of the delivery pipe (3) is positioned directly above the suspended electrode (1). The upper float (7) copies the shape of the supporting float (5) and is made of a dielectric, light, floating material. The method of disposal of cyanobacteria in stagnant waters is based on quatrolytic disposal of cyanobacteria by the electroflotation method, by means of the above-mentioned equipment.
Abstract:
An object to be decontaminated contaminated with radioactive material, e.g., contaminated soil or water, is introduced into eluting solvent and dissolved, and the radioactive material is separated from the object to be contaminated by elution of the radioactive material into the eluting solvent. The eluting solvent containing the radioactive materials dissolved therein and the object to be decontaminated are separated into solid and liquid. The soil after solid-liquid separation and from which the radioactive material is removed is collected, and the eluting solvent after solid-liquid separation and a separated liquid containing contaminated water are introduced into an electrolysis tank and electrolyzed. Metal ions such as those of the radioactive materials are deposited on the cathode in the electrolysis tank. Hydrogen containing tritium generated in electrolysis is collected in the electrolysis tank. The hydrogen is moved to the outside of the electrolysis tank and trapped.
