JET PROCESS CORPORATION PROPOSED TO FURTHER DEVELOP ITS NOVEL, PATENTED JET VAPOR DEPOSITION (JVD) COATING TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT CAPABLE OF COST EFFECTIVELY DISPLACING ELECTROPLATING AND SIMILAR METAL FINISH METHODS IN A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRIAL METAL COATING APPLICATIONS. JVD IS A CLEAN, DRY PROCESS WITH PRODUCES MINIMAL PROCESS WASTE AND NO TOXIC EFFLUENTS. IT IS A STRAIGHTFORWARD TECHNIQUE BASE ...

WASTE REDUCTION CAN BE A HIGHLY COST-EFFECTIVE MEANS OF POLLUTION CONTROL, IF ECONOMIC CHANGES IN THE BASIC TECHNOLOGY CAN BE ACHIEVED WHICH FUNDAMENTALLY ALTER THE RAW MATERIALS USED IN THE PROCESS. BENZENE IS USED AS A CLASSICAL REACTION SOLVENT IN MANY ORGANIC CHEMICAL REACTIONS. AS A SOLVENT, RATHER THAN A BASIC REACTANT, IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY ALTERMATE SOLVENT TECHNOLOGIES TO ELIM ...

THE CONVENTIONAL CONTROL DEVICE FOR NOX EMISSIONS FROM STATIONARY SOURCES AT 90% REMOVAL EFFICIENCY IS THE SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM. CONVENTIONAL SCR SYSTEMS RELY ON MONOLITHIC CATALYSTS; THESE CATALYSTS OFTEN PRESENT NEARLY ONE-HALF THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT. IN RECENT YEARS, EUROPEAN REGULATIONS HAVE PROMPTED DEVELOPMENT OF IN-DUCT DUST INJECTION CONTROL PROCESSES FOR CERTAIN GASE ...

NITRATE CONTAMINATION OF DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES IS A RECOGNIZED PROBLEM IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS OF THE U.S. SEVERAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE CAPABLE OF REMOVING NITRATE. TWO PROMISING RELATED TECHNOLOGIES ARE THE DIRECT BIOLOGICAL DENITRIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER AND THE REMOVAL OF NITRATE BY ION EXCHANGE WITH THE SUBSEQUENT REMOVAL OF THE NITRATE FROM THE REGENERANT BRINE. DENITRIFICATION OF DRINKING WATE ...

CURRENT AND FUTURE LEGISLATION WILL REQUIRE U.S. INDUSTRY TO TREAT MANY ORGANIC SOLVENT-CONTAINING AIR STREAMS NOW BEING DISCHARGED TO THE ATMOSPHERE. STREAMS OF THIS TYPE ARE PRODUCED BY PROCESSES SUCH AS PAINT REMOVAL AND METAL DEGREASING, AND IN PAINTING AND COATING OPERATIONS. MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH (MTR) HAS DEVELOPED A MEMBRANE VAPOR RECOVERY PROCESS THAT IS ABLE TO REMOVE SOLVENT ...

DILUTE ACETIC ACID WASTEWATER STREAMS ARE PRODUCED IN LARGE QUANTITIES BY THE SYNTHETIC ORGANIC CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE SYNTHESIS OF TEREPHALATE. RECOVERY OF ACETIC ACID FROM THESE WASTEWATERS FOR IN-PROCESS RECYCLING OF THE ACID WOULD REDUCE WASTE AND SAVE VALUABLE RESOURCES. THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A POROCESS THAT COMBINES SELECTIVE DIALYSIS FOLLOWED BY BIPOLAR- ...
