  • Publication number: 20110024283
    Abstract: A method for purifying water and generating ammonia liquor is disclosed. Hydrogen, oxygen, organic matter contaminated water vapor, and ambient air, containing nitrogen, are provided to a combustion chamber. The hydrogen is combusted in the oxygen in the combustion chamber with the contaminated water vapor and nitrogen. The nitrogen is fixated. Water vapor is produced. The contaminated water vapor is heated to decontaminate the contaminated water vapor. The produced water vapor, fixated nitrogen, and organic matter decontaminated water vapor are exhausted from the combustion chamber. The generated water vapor, fixated nitrogen, and decontaminated water vapor are condensed to obtain ammonia liquor. Water is evaporated from the ammonia liquor to form purified water vapor and concentrate the ammonia liquor.

  • Publication number: 20100224477
    Abstract: A water purification system has a copper-chlorine thermochemical water decomposition system, combustion, evaporation, and condensation chambers; hydrogen and oxygen channels; and a water vapor conduit. The copper-chlorine thermochemical water decomposition system generates hydrogen and oxygen from water. The hydrogen and oxygen are transported to the oxygen chamber in channels. The hydrogen is combusted in the oxygen in the combustion chamber to generate heated water vapor. The evaporation chamber generates water vapor from water. The water vapor conduit is disposed between the evaporation chamber and the condensation chamber. Heated water vapor from the combustion chamber traveling from the combustion chamber into the condensation chamber generates a vacuum on the water vapor conduit, drawing water vapor from the evaporation chamber into the condensation chamber. The condensation chamber receives water vapor from both the combustion chamber and the evaporation chamber.
