  • Publication number: 20230212040
    Abstract: A carbon fiber filter includes a center filter body and carbon fiber yarn wound around the center filter body. The center filter body is hollow and includes a water outlet. A surface of the center filter body is provided with at least one inverted triangular groove. A plurality of through holes are arranged in the groove. The through holes and the water outlet are in communication with a hollow inner cavity of the center filter body. The carbon fiber yarn is wound in the groove with a constant force to form a filter layer.

  • Patent number: 11530145
    Abstract: The disclosure is a method for recovering groundwater contaminated with organic phenols. The method includes the step of injecting a remediation agent into the groundwater extracted from the stratum to be rehabilitated or ex-situ extracted, followed by the step of injecting manganese-based oxidant. By adding a suitable proportion of soluble silicon to the water to be treated as a remediation agent, the efficiency of manganese-based oxidant in the treatment of phenolic pollutants is enhanced based on interface properties and stability of various manganese oxides in the regulating and recovering process. The method for recovering groundwater contaminated with organic phenols provided by the disclosure has a simple process and is convenient to operate, the adopted chemicals are inexpensive and easy to obtain, cause little corrosion to the injection equipment, and has a wide range of applications in practice. The adopted oxidant will not produce halogenated toxic by-products during the treatment process.

  • Publication number: 20140061061
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to transform contaminants in water by electrolytic processes are described. In some embodiments, the apparatuses and electrolytic processes couple an anode comprising iron and a high specific surface area cathode. Methods and apparatuses described herein provide advantages over conventional apparatuses and methods such as, for example, cost savings, efficiency, environmentally benign impact and versality for a variety contaminants.
