  • Patent number: 9771302
    Abstract: An environmentally friendly cement comprises (1) an active filler comprising waste materials composed of a thermal insulation wool and a waste thereof; (2) an inert filler comprising metakaolin and an aggregate optionally selected from cement, fine sand, gravel, waste to be solidified, and organic resin; and (3) an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate as an alkaline compound. A method for producing the environmentally friendly cement comprises mixing ingredients (1) and (3) and ingredients (2) and (3) respectively to obtain a slurry A and a slurry B respectively; mixing the slurry A and B; and hardening the final slurry, whereby elements silicon and aluminum in the ingredient (1) are dissolved out in the basic solution of the ingredient (3), and a closed framework structure is formed by bonding silica and alumina as tetrahedrons.

  • Patent number: 9480965
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a granulated inorganic adsorbent for radionuclides including slurry forming, solidification, drying and hardening, granulation, and washing steps: blending a dihydrogen phosphate, a powdered inorganic adsorbent raw material and a setting time regulator in water to form a slurry; adding sintered magnesia into the slurry, and blending the mixture to form a solidified slurry; setting the solidified slurry on a disk member, and naturally drying to hardening in a specific temperature range to form a hardened solid material; smashing the hardened solid material and performing vibration sieving by using a screen to obtain a granulated inorganic adsorbent for radionuclides containing residual reagents; washing the granulated inorganic adsorbent for radionuclides containing residual reagents with water, to remove the residual reagents to complete preparation, where the adsorption capacity of the granulated inorganic adsorbent for radionuclides thus prepared is in the range of 0.

  • Patent number: 9409147
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for granulation of an absorbent and adsorbent granules prepared by the same. The method comprises the steps of blending sodium metasilicate, metakaoline and an inorganic ion exchange material in water to form a slurry; decanting the resulted slurry onto a nylon cloth of 300 to 400 meshes and natural drying at ambient temperature to solidification; then breaking the solidified final product and sieving it by a screen having a mesh size of from 0.2 to 2.5 mm to provide the absorbent granules having excellent absorbability.

  • Patent number: 8444928
    Abstract: A method for treating waste water is provided, in which a wastewater is treated through a distilling process to obtain a distilled liquid, and then a reactant is added into the distilled liquid during the distilled liquid flowing to a liquid collecting tank, such that the reactant reacts with the distilled liquid by utilizing the residual temperature of the distilled liquid to form a processed liquid. Meanwhile, a system for wastewater treatment is also provided, which includes a distillation unit, a guiding unit, a means for adding the reactant, and a collecting unit. Since the present invention utilizes the residual temperature of the distilled liquid for the need of the reaction, an additional heat source is unnecessary, such that the consumption of energy can be greatly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20110040137
    Abstract: A rotary-drum mechanical surface decontamination method for radioactively contaminated metal first places a feed chute fully loaded with radioactively contaminated metal on a hydraulic lift platform of a dual-chain roller conveyor and then moves the feed chute to a hydraulic cover-opening machine for positioning, and then uses a hydraulic cover-opening machine to open the cover of the feed chute, while non-covered feed chute will advance further to the post on a feed hopper of a drum spray washer, and then drop the workpieces into a conical drum for rotary multi-angular spray washing. The decontaminated metal waste is transferred by a vibrating discharger onto a conveyor and then into a discharge tank, and to the hydraulic cover-opening machine by a dual-chain roller conveyor, and to the hydraulic lift platform to complete the decontamination process.
