Publication number: 20190195757Abstract: Provided is a detection method for heavy metal ions that includes the following steps. A waste water is flowed through an ion-imprinted polymer tube for adsorbing at least two kinds of target heavy metal ions. The ion-imprinted polymer tube is rinsed to remove a non-target object from the ion-imprinted polymer tube. The target heavy metal ions in the ion-imprinted polymer tube are desorbed by using an acid liquid. An electrochemical method is performed to detect concentrations of the target heavy metal ions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chun-Chi Lee, Shu-Kang Hsu, Min-Shan Wu, Yi-Ting Wang, Ting-Ting Chang, Kuan-Foo Chang

Publication number: 20060090647Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for catching particles having diameters size down to the nanometer level including a first step of increasing particle diameters of particles contained in an outlet gas from a fabrication process of nano-particles or an exhaust from a combustion; and a second step of introducing the resulting effluent from the first step into a rotating packed bed. The first step involves contacting the gas/exhaust with droplets or water vapor, creating collision of the nano-particles with the droplets or condensation of water vapor using the nano-particles as condensation nuclei, so that the size of the nano-particles increases to the micro level. The second step uses the minute water drops generated from and the hindrance of the rotating packed bed to catch the micro-particles in the gas/exhaust under a relatively high centrifugal force.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2004Publication date: May 4, 2006Applicant: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chia-Chang Lin, Shu-Kang Hsu, Wen-Tzong Liu, I-Min Tseng

Publication number: 20030027325Abstract: The invention discloses a method for processing alkene-containing exhaust gas. It is a combination of ozonic and biological processes which mainly deal with exhaust gas mixtures having alkene-containing (C—C double bond) organic exhaust gas (such as alkene, acrylic acid) and other volatile organic compounds (such as ketone, alcohol, BTEX, and others). Since exhaust gas containing C—C double bond is difficult to dispose of, the method for processing exhaust gas presented in the invention utilizes ozone to completely decompose or transform the organic contaminants with C—C double bonds into intermediate products. The organic contaminant can then be treated in the biological process and converted into non-toxic substances. This method does not require large-sized biological process equipment, and the residual ozone is oxidized and degraded in the bio-filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2002Publication date: February 6, 2003Applicant: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Keh-Perng Shen, Shu-Kang Hsu, Ching-Chih Lai
