Abstract: A laminar or cyclonic particle separator for gas, liquid-liquid and fluidizable solids separation comprised of a section with a non-metallic housing having an annulus and a chamber, an optional anode cooled with a first coolant in and a first coolant out disposed in the chamber, a DC or pulsating DC power source connected to the anode, at least one magnetic coil disposed adjacent the chamber and cooled with a second coolant, a high voltage pulsating DC power source connected to the magnetic coil, and a fluid (gas, liquid or fluidizable solids) inlet port connected to the housing, and also a section with a non-metallic separator tube connected to the housing and disposed within the housing, a first fluid outlet connected to the annulus through the housing. This device can then separate a stream rich in a targeted element (first fluid) and a stream lean in a targeted element (second fluid) from the device and thus discharge a stream almost free of the targeted element or almost 100% the targeted element.

Abstract: A separating system for separating a fluid mixture incorporates a smart surface having reversibly switchable properties. A voltage is selectively applied to the smart surface to attract or repel constituents of a fluid mixture, such as oil and water produced from a hydrocarbon well. The smart surface can be used in a conditioner to increase droplet size prior to entering a conventional separator, or the smart surface and other elements of the invention can be incorporated into an otherwise conventional separator to enhance separation. In a related aspect, a concentration sensor incorporating smart surfaces senses concentration of the fluid mixture's constituents.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for separating blood into components, may be expanded to include other types of cellular components, and can be combined with holographic optical manipulation or other forms of optical tweezing. One of the exemplary methods includes providing a first flow having a plurality of blood components; providing a second flow; contacting the first flow with the second flow to provide a first separation region; and differentially sedimenting a first blood cellular component of the plurality of blood components into the second flow while concurrently maintaining a second blood cellular component of the plurality of blood components in the first flow. The second flow having the first blood cellular component is then differentially removed from the first flow having the second blood cellular component. Holographic optical traps may also be utilized in conjunction with the various flows to move selected components from one flow to another, as part of or in addition to a separation stage.

Abstract: An electric field is applied to a coalescer type filter element in which the mesh size decreases in a step-like manner toward its outside. A subject liquid is passed through the filter from its inside to outside. A primary processed liquid discharged from the filter is introduced into an oil-water separating space provided outside the filter which space has an elongated path and to which space an electric field is applied. While the primary processed liquid passes through the oil-water separating space, rise of separated oil and fall of separated water are facilitated.

Abstract: The present invention is a method utilizing a liquid-liquid contactor which employs an electrostatic field to mix an organic phase with an aqueous phase and to coalesce the aqueous phase in order to accomplish extraction of a component present in the aqueous phase. The electrostatic field is formed between a rod electrode located within a gaseous phase adjacent the top of the contactor and a plate electrode located within the aqueous phase adjacent the bottom of the contactor by applying a high voltage to the rod electrode. The extraction process consists of an extraction stage where the component is extracted out of the aqueous phase by the organic phase and a subsequent stripping stage where the component is stripped out of the organic phase by ion exchange with a second aqueous phase.
