  • Patent number: 7807032
    Abstract: A process is provided for separating, concentrating and recovery of boron compound from aqueous solution containing boron, strongly dissociated anions and some cations. The process specifically integrates electrodialysis with ion exchange to selectively separate boron from aqueous solution that contains a wide concentration range of boron, strongly ionised anions such as chloride, nitrate and sulfate, and cations like lithium. The process is adapted for controlling boron concentration in an industrial process, for the recovery or purification of boron and some cations like lithium form aqueous solutions, and for wastewater treatment.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 5, 2010
    Assignee: Vattenfall AB

  • Publication number: 20050115905
    Abstract: A process for removal and destruction of dissolved nitrate from water containing the same, which comprises a removal step in the form of a nitrate selective anion-exchange operation; a destruction step for nitrate destruction by electrochemical reduction thereof; a conditioning step, where solution resulting from the destruction step is adjusted to a chloride concentration suitable for use of the solution as a regenerant in the anion-exchange operation; and a recycling step, where the solution resulting from the conditioning step is used as a regenerant in the anion-exchange operation.
