  • Patent number: 10358367
    Abstract: Organo clay and activated carbon are mixed to form a particle mixture. The particle mixture is contacted with waste water having chlorides and other contaminants, such as organic materials, heavy metals, chlorides, and low level radio nuclei in solution. Acids, oxidizing chemicals, and compressed air are added to pretreat and to treat the waste water. The mixture is filtered with catalytic activated carbon filters to remove the remaining contaminants. The filters produce a clean chloride solution that is discharged or is subjected to a finishing process to produce a marketable chloride product.

  • Patent number: 6214233
    Abstract: A waste water stream containing cyanide bearing compounds and heavy metals such as copper, silver, nickel, iron and the like is directed from a source after pH adjustment to a first tank containing adsorption material in the form of granular activated carbon. The waste water is oxygenated by compressed air. The cyanide bearing compounds and heavy metal are adsorbed onto the surface of the adsorption material which is pretreated to an initial pH in the range between about 8.5 to 11. The effluent from the first tank is pH adjusted by a pH controller which adds a caustic solution to the effluent to maintain a control point pH. The pH adjusted effluent is directed toward a second tank containing pretreated adsorption materials. The water stream free of cyanide and metal contaminants is directed to an effluent tank for safe discharge. Thereafter a stripping solution preferably containing sulfuric acid is circulated through the tank to remove the adsorbed metal for the adsorption material.

  • Patent number: 5770090
    Abstract: A waste water stream containing a heavy metal such as chromium, zinc, copper, and the like is directed from a source after pH adjustment to a tank containing adsorption material in the form of granular activated carbon. A waste water stream is directed to the tank in either an upward or downward flow mode. The heavy metal is adsorbed onto the surface of the adsorption material which is pretreated to an initial pH in the range between about 1.5 to 2.5. The water stream free of the metal contaminant is directed to an effluent tank for safe discharge. Thereafter a stripping solution preferably containing sulfuric acid is circulated through the tank to remove the adsorbed metal for the adsorption material. The metal is carried by the stripping solution from the tank to an electrolytic metal recovery unit. The unit includes a cathode terminal and the stripping solution passes through a voltage potential resulting in electrolytic deposit of the heavy metal onto the cathode terminal.
