Abstract: A mineral water producing method includes the steps of inputting basic data to obtain data about human mineral intake and data about average mineral intake from food; selecting a water supply area to obtain data about mineral intake from daily water intake; selecting an eating habit and a physical/mental condition; inputting personal body weight and calculating mineral intake; setting a daily water intake and calculating a daily mineral supplement; and outputting mineral water. A mineral water producing apparatus includes a water inlet and a water outlet; a first filter being connected at a first end to the water inlet and at a second end to the water outlet; at least one mineral substance container being located between and connected to the second end of the filter and the water outlet; and a controller for controlling the mineral substance container to supply a mineral substance.

Abstract: In a method of producing chemical mechanical polishing particles and slurry, a type of organic nano particles are put in a reaction solution containing nano-scale cerium oxide; the nano-scale cerium oxide is assembled to outer surface of the organic nano particles due to electrostatic attraction among particles, so as to form chemical mechanical polishing particles having a cerium oxide shell. The chemical mechanical polishing particles having a cerium oxide shell are then used to produce chemical mechanical polishing slurry.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a surface treatment process for enhancing both the release rate of metal ions from a sacrificial electrode, and the working life of the electrode. A high density of micro pores are formed on the surface of the sacrificial electrode. Chlorine ions are then implanted into the pores. The chlorine ions prevent a passive film from forming on the sacrificial electrode during use, in which an electric current flows through the sacrificial electrode.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for collecting and concentrating trace organics in a liquid sample, which includes steps of adsorption, dehydration, and thermal desorption. The process can be automatically operated by associating with analysis instruments for detecting gaseous materials, such as GC (Gas Chromatography), GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass spectroscopy) and FTIR (Fourier Transfer Infrared spectroscopy) to monitor the organics in the liquid sample. The process can collect and concentrate semi-volatile organic contaminants in a liquid sample which are unable to be collected and concentrated by purge & trap process or head-space process. The process of the present invention can be used to detect trace organics in a detecting limit at a ppt level.

Abstract: A water treatment reactor adapted to simultaneously carry out electrocoagulation and advanced oxidation processes is disclosed, which includes an upright sealed tank having a metal body, or a metal mounted on an inner wall thereof, used as a cathode; a sacrificial electrode used as an anode, which is disposed in the tank and non-electrically connected to the cathode; a mixing device disposed in the bottom of the tank for enabling mixing of influent water and an air or oxygen-containing gas introduced into the tank; a gas-liquid separator which is in fluid communication with the tank at the top for expelling a gas from the tank without expelling water; and a direct current supply having a positive electrode electrically connected to the anode and a negative electrode electrically connected to the cathode.

Abstract: A method for monitoring water quality including deriving calcium hardness and M alkalinity from the linear functional relation between calcium hardness and specific conductivity, and that between log value of M alkalinity and pH value, simplifying the temperature curve into a formula, and calculating directly the saturation index. A multipurpose and inexpensive automatic water quality monitoring apparatus that can be adapted for use in cooling towers, swimming pools, and boilers may be made from a combination of an conductivity meter, pH meter, and oxidation reduction potential meter commonly used in testing, and a simple algorithm of a central processing unit.
