Abstract: A landscape tent (1) having a flexible memory frame (2), a top panel (7) and numerous side panels (3) to surround various-sized plants (4), (9) and (11). The panels (3) and (7) are bordered by the memory frame (2), which is preferably made of wire, and filled in with an open-weave material to allow air to pass through the tent (1). Anchor loops (5) are located at the base (12) of the tent (1) to allow a user to secure the tent (1) to the ground. The use of the present invention will not only protect plants (4), (9) and (11) from the elements, such as wind, rain, snow, hail, sleet and frost, but will also not cause damage the plants (4), (9) and (11) because the tent (1) does not touch the plants (4), (9) and (11).

Abstract: A process is provided for removing organics and ions from liquid. Water to be purified is first exposed to ultraviolet(UV) radiation to oxidize organics in the liquid. The UV-treated water then is passed through an electrodeionization apparatus having an ion depletion compartment containing mixed anion and cation exchange resin beads and an ion concentration compartment in a given separation stage having an anode and a cathode. A second liquid is passed through the concentration compartment which is free of or filled with ion exchange resin beads. Ions under the influence of D.C. potential pass from the depletion compartments into the concentration compartments through ion permeable membranes. The electrodeionization apparatus can be operated continuously in conjunction with the UV radiation step since resin regeneration is not required.
