Innovations in ion exchange technologies using liquid solid circulating fluidized bed (LSCFB): LSCFB fluid consumption evaluation

雷尼克斯公司(安大略省伦敦市)已从西安大略大学获得一项可能具有革命性的新型离子交换技术的许可，该技术被称为液固循环流态化床(LSCFB)离子交换器。LSCFB系统以不同的方式使用两种液体，以完成吸附、解吸和保持动态密封的离子交换步骤。尽管该系统在现有配置下运行良好，但它使用了大量的水和洗脱剂化学品。为了改进该系统，使其对工业应用更具吸引力，该项目将评估几种可能的修改，以减少化学品和水的消耗。用水：在系统的两个地方使用水，以保持进料液在吸附塔中隔离，化学洗脱剂在吸附塔中隔离

Renix Inc. (London, Ontario) has licensed a novel and potentially revolutionary ion exchange technology from the University of Western Ontario termed as the Liquid Solid Circulating Fluidized Bed (LSCFB) Ion Exchanger. The LSCFB system uses two liquids in different ways in order to accomplish the ion exchange steps of adsorption, desorption, and to maintain dynamic seals. Although the system functions well under the existing configurations, it uses large quantities of water and eluant chemicals. In order to improve the system and make it more attractive for industrial application, this project will evaluate several potential modifications that will reduce the consumption of chemicals and water. Water Use: Water is used in two places in the system in order to keep the feed liquid isolated in the adsorption column and the chemical eluant isolated in the
