Abstract: A source liquid including a solvent with a dissolved impurity flows into a reservoir. The source liquid or a concentration of the source liquid is pumped from the reservoir through a pressure exchanger into an upstream side of a liquid-separation module. The module includes a membrane that at least partially purified solvent as filtrate to a permeate side of the liquid-separation module while diverting the impurity in a feed retentate on the upstream side of the liquid-separation module. The substantially pure water is extracted from the permeate side of the liquid-separation module, while the feed retentate is passed from the upstream side of the liquid-separation module through the pressure exchanger, where pressure from the feed retentate is transferred to the feed from the reservoir. The feed retentate is then passed from the pressure exchanger to the reservoir and recirculated as a component of the feed via the above steps.

(1) The vanadium-titanium-iron concentrate is mixed and roasted together with addition agent and reducing, agent, and thereby vanadium-containing pig iron and vanadium enriched slag are obtained. (2) The vanadium titanium enriched slag is leached in water and filtered, and thereby vanadium-containing solution and titanium slag are obtained. The technical features of the present invention are as below. By the new process of sodium reduction coupling, a new system of low-temperature smelting multiphase reaction separation is constructed. The reduction of iron, sodiumizing of vanadium, and the melting separation process of the vanadium titanium enriched slag and the iron are achieved in one step. Three products, i.e., the vanadium-containing pig iron, the vanadium-containing solution, and the titanium slag are produced.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for charging and discharging an energy storage device connected to an electrical power distribution system. In one exemplary embodiment, a controller monitors electrical characteristics of an electrical power distribution system and provides an output to a bi-directional charger causing the charger to charge or discharge an energy storage device (e.g., a battery in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)). The controller can help stabilize the electrical power distribution system by increasing the charging rate when there is excess power in the electrical power distribution system (e.g., when the frequency of an AC power grid exceeds an average value), or by discharging power from the energy storage device to stabilize the grid when there is a shortage of power in the electrical power distribution system (e.g., when the frequency of an AC power grid is below an average value).
