20110132550 | Single Chamber Adsorption Concentrator - A single chamber adsorption concentrator unit is described that utilizes low grade heat to drive an adsorbent/adsorbent working pair to separate a solvent from a solute/solvent mixture. One preferred application of the device of the present invention is separating water from the salt brine produced by the aluminum smelting industry. The brine solution is introduced into a single chamber shell proximate the concentrator evaporator where the water in the brine can freely evaporate and the resulting water vapor freely flow without inhibition to be either absorbed into the adsorbent modules or condensed by the condenser. The free flow of water vapor is facilitated by continuous operation of the condenser and by maintaining the brine solution at a higher temperature than the cooling fluid driving the condenser. A mist eliminator with a wash down feature located intermediate to the evaporator and the silica gel is provided to collect contaminants that may be carried from the evaporator by the vigorous boiling. | 06-09-2011 |

20120042688 | Heat Driven Concentrator With Alternate Condensers - A device and method for concentrating contaminants in a solution comprising contaminated sorbate and clean sorbate wherein the contaminated sorbate freezes at a higher temperature than the clean sorbate. By maintaining the solution at a temperature between the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate and the freezing point of the clean sorbate, the clean sorbate may be evaporated off for processing through a sorbent/sorbate working pair adsorption/desorption cycle. Sensors in the adsorption chamber monitors for the presence of contaminated sorbate vapor. Sensors in the evaporator chamber monitor the temperature of the solution and partial pressure within the evaporator chamber. If contaminated sorbate vapor is detected in the adsorption chamber, or the temperature of the solution rises above the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate, or the partial pressure of the evaporator chamber deviates from the acceptable range of partial pressures, then during desorption, the sorbate vapor is directed to a contaminated condenser for recycling back to the solution. If contaminated sorbate vapor is not detected in the adsorption chamber, and the temperature of the solution did not rise above the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate, and the partial pressure of the evaporator chamber did not deviate from the acceptable range of partial pressures, then during desorption, the sorbate vapor is directed to a clean condenser where it is condensed and removed from the concentrator. | 02-23-2012 |
