  • Patent number: 7314500
    Abstract: A method of removing contaminate material from a flowable material, comprising the following steps. A first container defining a first chamber is provided. A second container defining a second chamber is arranged within the first chamber. A first removal material is arranged within the second chamber. A second removal material is arranged within the first chamber. The flowable material is caused to flow along a removal path through the first removal material to remove a first portion of the contaminate material and through the second removal material to remove a second portion of the contaminate material.

  • Patent number: 6780221
    Abstract: A removal system for removing a waste metal from a waste solution. The removal system comprises outer and inner containers, inlet, intermediate, and outlet conduits, and first and second reaction media. The inner container defines an upper wall portion and is located within the outer container. The inlet conduit allows fluid to flow to the inner chamber and extends through the upper wall portion of the inner container. The intermediate conduit allows fluid flow from the inner chamber to the outer chamber. The outlet conduit allows fluid flow out of the outer chamber. The first reaction media located in the inner container. The second reaction media located in the outer container. The waste solution is forced along a removal path through the inlet conduit, the first reaction media, the intermediate conduit, the second reaction media, and the outlet conduit.

  • Patent number: 6558449
    Abstract: A removal system for removing a waste metal from a waste solution. The removal system comprises outer and inner containers and inlet, intermediate, and outlet conduits. The outer container defines an outer chamber, and the inner container defines an inner chamber. The inner container is located within the outer chamber. The inlet conduit allows fluid to flow from an exterior of the outer container to the inner chamber. The intermediate conduit allows fluid flow from the inner chamber to the outer chamber. The outlet conduit allows fluid flow from the outer chamber to the exterior of the outer chamber. A first reaction media located in the inner chamber, and a second reaction media located in the outer chamber. In use, the waste solution is forced along a removal path through the inlet conduit, the first reaction media, the intermediate conduit, the second reaction media, and the outlet conduit.

  • Patent number: 4842644
    Abstract: Methods of and apparatus for recovering silver and other metals from solutions containing compounds of those metals. The solution being treated is pumped upwardly under pressure and at a constant rate through a reaction mass or medium to promote ion exchange reactions between the metal of interest in the solution and the material making up the reaction mass and thereby precipitate the metal of interest from the solution being treated.
