  • Patent number: 11966807
    Abstract: A multi-tag concurrent identification method and a system for a query tree based on feature groups are provided in this disclosure. In the disclosure, a whole data string space is divided into a plurality of disjoint subsets according to features of data strings returned by tags, where each of the subsets contains several different data strings, each of the data strings in the each of the subsets is regarded as a complete tag ID or a partial ID, and the each of the subsets corresponds to a unique query prefix, a length of the prefix is fixed and does not dynamically increase with an actual location of a collision, and when multiple data strings from a same subset return at a same time, a reader is capable of identifying them at a same time in a slot.

  • Patent number: 8262911
    Abstract: A method for treatment of sludge with a facultative-organism-adapted membrane bioreactor by providing a sludge treatment system comprising a facultative digestion tank, a membrane module, an aeration system, a sludge pump, and a drainage pump, pumping sludge into the facultative digestion tank via the sludge pump and allowing for digestion, synchronously aerating and scouring the membrane module by the aeration system, pumping the sludge by the drainage pump and filtrating by the membrane module so that sludge and water are separated, and draining the water via the drainage pump. The method can digest sludge completely in the digestion tank, and solves problems existing in conventional sludge treatment methods such as large investment and high transportation cost, even achieves a subject of zero discharge of sludge.

  • Patent number: 8216476
    Abstract: A method for removing phosphorus includes at least the steps of: 1) placing lanthanum oxide hydrate (absorbent) into a device for removing phosphorus, and allowing sewage having a phosphorus content of less than 100 mg/L to flow through the device; 2) adding sodium hydroxide (regeneration solution of the absorbent) when the absorption capacity of the device is exhausted, and allowing the regeneration reaction to proceed for between 4 and 12 hours; and 3) collecting eluate from step 2) and recycling phosphorus.

  • Patent number: 8173019
    Abstract: A method for forming a facultative-organism-adapted membrane bioreactor by: providing a membrane bioreactor having a membrane module, aerating intensively the membrane module at a lower part thereof and maintaining the scouring against the membrane module so that an aerobic environment is formed at a middle and lower part of the membrane module, and controlling aeration intensity so that a facultative or anaerobic environment is formed around the membrane module excluding the middle and lower part thereof. The a facultative-organism-adapted membrane bioreactorformed by the method has low energy consumption, low sludge yield coefficient, and high efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus removal.

  • Publication number: 20100288698
    Abstract: A method for removing phosphorus having steps of a) providing a membrane bioreactor having a membrane module having a lower part; b) aerating intensively the lower part of the membrane module while controlling dissolved oxygen concentration around the membrane module at more than 2 mg/L and dissolved oxygen concentration in the rest zone at less than 1 mg/L so as to form an aerobic zone, a facultative aerobic zone, and an anaerobic zone; and c) introducing sludge having a concentration of between 10,000 mg/L and 30,000 mg/L and having an organic loading of between 0.08 and 0.07 Kg (COD)/(Kg (MLSS)·d) into the membrane reactor so that phosphorus is absorbed in the aerobic zone, released in the facultative aerobic zone, and reduced by phosphine-reducing bacteria into phosphine. The method for removing phosphorus does not include discharging sludge. An apparatus employed for the process does not take up much additional space.
