Abstract:
This invention refers to a removal and recovery method of pollutant materials. A waste stream source of polluted water and/or waste gases containing waste acids, bases and salts, and/or waste air pollutant suspension particles are fed into a separation reactor. The combined physicochemical effects of removal/recovery of pollutants inside the reactor take place by solubilization, ionization, reaction, deposition and settling, which concurrently remove and separate the pollutants as solid materials, deposited on selective electrodes sets, as gases and as sludge and/or precipitates. The reactor is kept at the working temperature using a waste industrial heat, and the separation processes take place by applying a voltage source between a spaced apart system of selective electrodes, and by using a ionizing source of waste spent fuel nuclear bars or electromagnetic radiation.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention is directed generally to improvement of environmental protection, materials recovering, recycling, and resource conservation, using a novel procedure and method for the removal and recovery of inorganic pollutant materials from waste water sources of aqueous solutions and/or from waste gases and/or suspension particles sources. 
     Waste pollutant materials treatment procedures and processes have been and continue to be a matter of great importance for environmental protection and for resources conservation. Many industrial and commercial processes generate substantial quantities of waste water, waste gases and waste suspension particles, much of which are contaminated with toxic metal elements and/or ions such as heavy metals (e.g., lead, copper, zinc, cadmium, nickel, arsenic, chromium, etc.,), compounds with toxic elements, dissolved inorganic elements (e.g., calcium, sodium, sulfates, phosphates, etc.), primary air pollutant gases (e.g., nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon disulfide, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, etc.,), and aerosols and/or suspension particles (e.g., hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid aerosols and metal oxide particles). 
     The most pollutant industrial and commercial processing plants include electronic, non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgical, chemical, textile, pharmaceutical, pigments and dyes, construction materials, nuclear, food, etc. Most pollutants of above industries cannot be discharged into environment without endangering the biological and environment health. In many urban areas throughout the world industrial born air and water pollution reach and exceed toxic level thresholds. For example, in the United States, the Great Lakes Basin has on of the largest population density in the U.S., and is one of the world&#39;s largest pollutant area. This basin, bordered by Northeast of U.S. and by Southeast of Canada, with the world&#39;s largest fresh water reservoir, is one of the most affected by man&#39;s activities. As existing pilot watershed studies show, some of the most pollutant sources in the Grate Lakes Basin are due to urban industrial and commercial activities. Addressing this issue is therefore increasingly important. Also, the recovery of valuable materials by large industries is becoming one of the resource conservation priorities. 
     An important requirement of water and air quality management and of the man&#39;s life is to prevent the rivers water and lakes water pollution with polluted liquids of industrial waste and to disperse in air industrial gaseous pollutants. Thus, it is fundamental that the removal and recovery of industrial pollutants are made simultaneously or successively in their own industry origin, in small or large treatment facilities, before the waste polluted liquids are discharged in rivers, lakes and seas. The waste water and air quality criteria and requirements not only depend on the specific industry, but also on the feed water quality and on the environmental biology and therefore the methods for waste water and waste gaseous materials treatment. Therefore, the treatment methods of pollutant waste suspension particles in water and air are very diversified. 
     Many physical, chemical, physicochemical, biological technologies and combination of them are well known in the art, and a large number of processes and technologies have been applied quite successfully for the treatment of waste waters and waste gases, and waste suspension particles and for other environment related applications. The waste water and waste air pollutants removal and recovery treatment procedures, processes, methods and apparatuses are described in literature in many books, monographs, and papers, as for example:

     Various fundamental,and practical aspects of the relevant pollutant waste inorganic sources treatment processes, including physicochemical phase transition processes as well as different procedures, methods and apparatuses implied in our patent description are also described in the above listed sources. These data are also applicable to waste organic pollutant of chemical elements treatment, e.g., removal and/or recovery of pollutants molecules and systems which have permanent or temporary dipole momentum. 
     There are many waste water and waste air pollutants treatment processes in use today, e.g., ion exchange, coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation, chemical precipitation (e.g., sulfide precipitation, hydroxide precipitation, etc.,), chemical oxidation/reduction, filtration, activated chemical absorption, to name just a few, and in consequence, a large variety of methods and apparatuses have been developed. All of these processes have advantages that may recommend them for particular applications, and disadvantages that preclude their use for other applications. For the sake of clarity we are only giving here a few examples. 
     Ion exchange methods are useful where decontamination and recovery of precious metals is desirable. However, ion exchange resins are expensive, and ion exchange methods cannot ordinarily be used effectively for solutions containing high concentrations of ancillary salts. 
     Hydroxide precipitation is inexpensive and effective to precipitate metals having insoluble hydroxides which are not dissoluted in excess alkali. However, alkali hydroxide is poisonous and corrosive and the excess hydroxide must be neutralized with acid before the treated waste water can be returned to the environment. 
     Sulfide precipitation can be used effectively to precipitate contaminated metals which form insoluble sulfides (U.S. Pat. No. 4,329,224). However, soluble sulfides from toxic liquids can release one of the most toxic and unpleasant gases on exposure to acids. Thus, any process using compressed hydrogen sulfide, or soluble sulfide, is inherently dangerous. The method for reducing the concentration and for recovering of any undesirable metals dissolved in contaminated waste water is less dangerous using the sulfite process (U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,611) than with the sulfide process. Of course, the pollutant metals removed from solution by this process do not disappear. They remain in the sediment. or solid phase until recycled or disposed of. Furthermore, the resulted SO 2  is an irritating gas and although it is stable in a dry medium, when it is discharged in a wet air atmosphere and under solar radiation, or when suspension of small particles are present, it forms acidic rain, so it necessitates a recovery treatment before discharging. 
     Many methods and processes in use today for removing and/or recovering of inorganic pollutants are based on reactions of chemical compounds, chemical elements reaction, and combination of chemical compound reactions with physical methods. Generally, these methods, procedures and processes require large quantities of chemical materials. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a new method for treating polluted waste industrial and commercial water, and/or primary air pollutants such as waste industrial gases, and/or suspension particles, such as toxic aerosols, to remove and/or recover undesirable polluting metals, inorganic compounds, dissolved inorganic elements from water, toxic inorganic gases and toxic suspensions present in air and water. The novel method and procedure described in the present invention by using waste heat, nuclear radiation of spent fuel bars, waste chemical products, waste suspension particles and electrical power, does not have some of the disadvantages, dangers and other limitations of prior-known procedures and/or methods of pollutants removal and recovery from industrial waste water and waste air pollutants. The method of present invention consists of treating waste polluted water, and/or waste pollutant gases, and/or waste suspension pollutant particles in air, using the combined, and simultaneous/successive conjugated physicochemical effects (CSCPCE) of pressure, temperature, electric- and radiation fields, and air/or aqueous suspension particles. 
     According to the present invention nuclear-, thermal-, electrical-, and mechanical energy, waste pollutant and/or non pollutant suspension particles can be used for the removal and/or recovery of inorganic pollutants from waste industrial water and/or waste industrial pollutants of air. The nuclear or electromagnetic radiation produce ionization of pollutant chemical elements and compounds, and the ionization rate increases with increasing temperature. The electric field produces ion&#39;s separation from the aqueous solution and deposits it them into the solid phase on multiple pairs of spaced apart selective electrodes, as non-pollutant and recovered materials. For water insoluble and hard soluble chemical pollutant compounds with positive solubilization coefficients, an increased pressure and temperature produces/increases the solubilization of the pollutants by allowing the reaction&#39;s activating energy of different solution components to decrease, which facilitates the formation of new compounds which are non pollutant or less pollutant. The resulting chemical compounds remain in the aqueous medium or are removed and/or recovered as gases and/or sludge. For pollutant materials which have negative coefficient of solubilization in water, elevated temperatures at elevated pressures are not required to increase the solubility and, consequently, the pollutant&#39;s separation take place on selective electrodes under an electric field through phase transition processes into solid phase. The suspension of pollutant and non pollutant particles in air and/or water act as catalytic agents for the ionization processes above and for the formation of new chemical ions and compounds which require a lower ionization energy. Besides, the suspension particles act as condensation and coagulation centers and as catalyst for the solid, gas and sludge phases formation. Furthermore, the suspension particles catalyze the formation of non polluted gases and liquid compound components, through a chemical absorption mechanism. In certain physicochemical hydrothermal conditions of pressure, and radiation, the suspension particles act as mineralizers in the hydrothermal physicochemical phase transition processes. Suspension particles with certain composition, in determined hydrothermal conditions help phase transitions processes, such as: crystallization, coagulation and precipitation, and gasification processes to take place. 
     The objectives of the present invention are to provide a novel method for: 
     simultaneous removal and/or recovery of inorganic pollutants from waste polluted water and/or waste gaseous materials, and/or waste suspension particles in air and water; 
     waste pollutant removal from waste water and for the pollutant materials recovery using a selective system, with spaced apart electrodes, immersed in contaminant liquids; 
     improving solubilization and/or ionization, and flocculation and/or coagulation of waste pollutant elements, chemical compounds or suspension particles; 
     synthesis from pollutant chemical systems, of new compounds/radicals, and/or ions, less pollutant or non pollutant, which are easier removed and/or recovered; 
     removal and/or recovery of inorganic pollutants from waste water and of waste gases pollutants using waste pollutant suspension particles or non-pollutant suspension particles as catalyzer of physicochemical processes; 
     improving inorganic pollutants removal and/or recovery from waste polluted water, and/or from waste polluted gases, and/or from waste polluted suspension particles using nuclear radiation of spent fuel nuclear bars or electromagnetic radiation; 
     pollutant removal and recovery using waste heat sources.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The aqueous solutions of inorganic pollutant compounds, such as those with metallic elements, elements ions and their ionic compounds, and with air inorganic pollutants, such as gaseous materials and suspension toxic particles, in specific physicochemical hydrothermal conditions of pressure, temperature, electric/electromagnetic/nuclear radiation, and mineralizers/catalyzers, form stable structural units in aqueous solutions. These stable structural units are determined primarily by the directional nature of strong hydrogen bonds between the ware molecules themselves and then by the interactions between water molecules and ions, between water molecules and polar groups, between water molecules and suspension particles, and between ions/radicals/compounds themselves and with each other. The hydrothermal growth investigation of some structural units have been carried out in water and aqueous solutions at temperatures up to 300° C. and pressures up to 2000 atm. At atmospheric pressure, as the temperature increases, the structure of the liquid solutions and that of compounds change, and the bonds become weak. Increasing the pressure has the opposite effect, i.e., liquid molecules, complex molecules and ions tend to retain their spatial ordering, at least a short range order. The length of ordered units, their strength, mutual positions, charges, and the type of interactions, determine: (i) the relationship between compounds and compounds components in aqueous hydrothermal conditions, (ii) the formation of new chemical compounds and/or radicals, (iii) the mechanisms of phase transition into solid phase, (iv) the deposition in an electric field, and, out the range of the electric field, as ordered structures on electrodes and/or sides, and (v) the precipitation, transition, or formation of new into phase. For the industrial and commercial pollutants, such as primary air pollutants (e.g. sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides), the aerosols particles require a catalyst for the removal/transformation from/into other chemical structural systems, which are easier removed. The successively catalyzed reactions are developed in the presence of water, radiation, and suspension pollutant/non-pollutant catalyzing particles, in which case, the processes are driven in the wanted direction. Because of the known effects of pressure, temperature, and of electric field on phase transitions equilibrium in aqueous solutions, the presence of pollutant/non-pollutant suspension particles produces crystallization/coagulation of points/centers of metal&#39;s ions and of metal&#39;s radicals. The suspension particles, such as the impurities usually present in aqueous solutions, also modify the suspension solution equilibrium, namely, the supersaturation is increased and, as a result, increase the liquid to solid phase transformation rate. Thus, the waste suspension pollutant particles (WSPP) catalyze the processes by removing and recovering the metals and in particular the heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Also, the WSPP catalyze chemical reactions of the pollutant gases molecules or ions with radiation and with water which helps the transformation of pollutant gases into removable compounds and the recovery of useful components. 
     Besides, the WSPP are removed and recovered by themselves through the transformations process participation. 
     The removal and the recovery of inorganic pollutants from industrial and commercial waste water and waste air pollutant are realized by using the combined and simultaneous/successive conjugated physicochemical effects (CSCPCE) of pressure, electromagnetic/spent fuel nuclear bar radiation, the catalytic action of fine suspension polluted or non polluted particles, and that of the electric field on solubilization, ionization, chemical reactions and the formation of new compounds or radicals, for the separation and/or recovery of pollutant materials and for their recycling as non polluted materials. The reactions involved, which are developed in aqueous environment under pressure, radiation, temperature, gradient of temperature and electric field, follow such chemical kinetics mechanisms which will allow to remove and/or recover the pollutant materials as solid phase, gases and as sludge. 
     In the present invention, strong correlated with phase transitions of pollutant materials, and the removal and recovery processes, are the phenomena of the pollutant elements, compounds, ions, and radicals segregation and solidification, which are determined by the interactions between the solid surfaces and the structure of chemical pollutant complex particles, such as elements, compounds, ions and radicals. Thus, a chemical pollutant complex particle, which is close to a freezing front, it may be trapped into solid state or may be repulsed by the freezing interface. The behavior of these interactions are depending essentially of the chemical pollutant complex particles size, their inner structure and the distance between the particles and the solid interface and, by the solid surface structure. The above conditions determine the proper choice of the selective electrodes and/or sides type, for the most effective removing and/or recovering of various depolluted pollutant element, compounds, ions and/or radicals. The reciprocal positions and the geometry of electrodes are important process parameters because they determine the electric field lines distribution among the electrodes and, consequently, the intensity of the transport forces in solution. Real grain systems have supplementary interactions associated with the grain boundary junctions, where another phase can occur. Our present cases are those of segregation of particles on a solid surface, with filled veins of the liquid solution at the triple junction of the grain boundaries. These so called foams are known as wet foams and have been described theoretically for two and three dimensions. For real grain growth the complete problem remains largely open yet, so that the optimum physicochemical conditions for recovering into solid phase are specific for each class of pollutants. 
     The removal and recovering of pollutants, in accordance with the present invention, are strongly correlated with the concentration of pollutants in the solution of polluted waste water, of polluted waste gases, and polluted suspension particles. The coordination numbers have their minimum values for dilute aqueous solutions and are usually higher for concentrated solutions. They may reach very high values in the more dense solutions not only because of their concentration of solute, but also because of the pressures employed in the hydrothermal aqueous processes. Furthermore, the structure of highly concentrated solutions approaches the solution structure to a large-pocked size of polluted elementary units. Thus, the rate of pollutant removal and/or recovering is higher for highly concentrated solutions as compared to that of the solution which contains lower concentration of pollutants. The change in the concentration of the solution is reflected in changes in its removal and/or recovering velocity coefficient range. Also, it is reflected in changes in the activity coefficients of water in a solution, and in the activity coefficients of the electrolyte in the same solution. Also, the solubility coefficient, which in different pollutant systems can be positive or negative, is strongly dependent on the temperature and pressure of the hydrothermal solution. For the systems with negative coefficient of solubility the phase transition into solid phase is processed at low or moderate temperature. 
     Due to the interaction of the solute with the solvate and the formation of ions, group of ions, complexes with atoms and ions, and because the phase transition and mass transfer are the criterion for the pollutant separation coefficient range, the selection of the proper physicochemical parameter are specific for each type or for a group of pollutants. Thus, the range of pressure, temperature, intensity of electric field, intensity and type of ionizing agent like radiation of spent fuel nuclear bars, the type and concentration of mineralizer/catalyzer, the type of selective electrodes and their geometrical settling and configuration, and the time of run, represent a set of parameters for the removal and/or recovery of inorganic pollutants from waste industrial and/or commercial aqueous solutions and from waste gases, and suspension particles. 
     Several examples of various block schemes of procedures and methods for the removal and/or recovery of pollutants are presented in the description of drawings, in the next section. The given examples are applicable for a large variety of pollutant water flows and types, and for a large variety of pollutant concentrations. Also, they are proper for low to high concentration of pollutant gases and suspension particles. As used herein the term of “pollutant water” refers to water having any amount of undesirable inorganic pollutants, namely from tens order percents down to 1 ppm or lower. 
     The preferred embodiments of the processes appear in the simplified schematic block diagrams in FIGS. 1 to  6 , and in FIGS. 7-15. A reactor embodiment example is drown in FIG.  2  and the internal components details of named reactors and their physicochemical function are diagramed and explained in FIGS. 2 to  5 . FIG.  2  and FIGS. 3 to  6  are intended to be representative examples of reactors and of their inner components that can be used to perform the processes and the methods of present invention. 
     FIG. 1 depicts, in a block form, the main general schematic of the processes according to the present invention. The schematic gives a general overview of the processes and of the components which are explained in greater detail in the schematic drawings of FIGS. 2 to  6 . 
     Referring to FIG. 1, the vertical cylindrical reactor  1  is shown which includes inlets  2 ,  3 ,  4 ,  8 ,  9 ,  10  and outlets  5 ,  6 ,  7 . The inlet  2  is coupled to a source  11  of polluted/contaminated water, such as a tank or industrial discharge pipe, through: heat exchanger  12  or line  13 , valve  14 , heat exchanger  15  or line  16 , valve  17 , pump  18 , radiation protection water tank  19  or line  22 , valve  23 , water pre-treatment conditioner  24  or line  27 , valve  28  and line  29 . The digits  20  and  21 , mean the outlet and inlet respectively of the protection water tank  19 . The heat exchanger  12  is used for pre-heating of waste polluted water using the waste heat of treated effluent water, if the removing and/or recovering processes of certain types of pollutants require high temperature. The line  13  is used as an alternative line for the situations when the heating of the waste polluted water is not necessary. The heat exchanger  15  is used if waste water heating produced by the heat exchanger  12  is not enough. The heat which passes through the heat exchanger  15  is provided by a waste industrial heat source  61 . The line  16  is used as an alternative when the pre-heating of the waste polluted water is not necessary. The line  22  is used for those physicochemical processes where no radiation protection is required, i.e., when using electromagnetic radiation as ionizing agent. The inlet  21  and outlet  20  of the radiation protection water tank  24  are shown in FIG.  2 . The line  27  is used if the waste polluted water doesn&#39;t require pre-treatment, i.e., no content of settling particles. The outlet  25  and inlet  26  are part of the water pre-treatment conditioner system  24 . The pump  18  determines the treatment pressure level in reactor  1 . The inlet  3  of reactor  1  is coupled to a source of waste pollutant gasses  30  by means of: line  31 , heat exchanger  32  or line  33 , valve  34 , heat exchanger  35  or line  36 , valve  37 , pump  38  and valve  39 . The heat exchanger  32  is used for the pre-heating of waste pollutant gasses-using the waste heat of treated effluent water, if the physicochemical processes require high temperature for removing and/or recovering of certain types of gaseous pollutants. Line  33  is used as a alternative line when the gaseous pollutants heating is not necessary. The heat exchanger  35  is used if the heating of waste pollutant gasses, produced by heat exchanger  32 , is not enough. The heat which passes through heat exchanger  35  is provided by a waste industrial heat source  61 , the same as the heat exchanger  15  is using. Line  36  is used as an alternative line when heating of the gaseous pollutants is not necessary. The pump  38  is used for raising the reactor pressure to a level required by the physicochemical processes for removing and/or recovering of pollutants supplied by pump  18  to determined pressures level in reactor  1 . The inlet  4  of reactor  1  is coupled to a collector  40  of waste pollutant suspension particles source, through line  41 , pump  42  and valve  43 . The pump  42  is used for reaching a pressure level required by the physicochemical processes for removing and/or recovering of pollutants, supplied by the pump  18  for a determined pressure level in reactor  1 . The outlet  5  of reactor  1  is coupled to a treated water receiving tank  48  by means of liquid-gas separation drum  44 , line  45 , heat exchanger  12 , line  46 , heat exchanger  32  and line  47 . Also, the outlet  5  of reactor  1  is coupled to waste effluent non pollutant gases reservoir  50  through liquid-gas separation drum  44  and line  49 . The liquid-gas separation drum, as its name implies, separates the effluent mixture of depolluted water and non pollutant gasses. The outlet  6  is for recovered materials as a solid phase on a system  51  with selective electrodes  72 , which are shown in FIG.  2  and FIG. 3. A sludge container  52  is connected with outlet  7  of reactor  1 . The system of selective electrodes  72  from reactor  1  are connected, in inlet  8 , with electrodes voltage supplier  55  by means of lines  53 . The outlet  9  is connected with electrical heating supplier  57  through line  56 . The electrical heating supplier  57  is used to ensure the temperatures required by the physicochemical removal and/or recovery processes for a certain type of pollutants are obtained. The inlet  10  means the connection of reactor  1  with ionizing agent  59  through the connection line  58 . As ionizing agents are used waste radiation of spent nuclear bars, or X-rays of a X-ray source, or a source of electromagnetic radiation. A waste industrial heat source  61  is connected with heat exchangers  15  and  35  through lines  62  and  63  respectively, which is used, as described above, for heating the waste polluted water from the circuit of waste polluted water tank  11 , and/or of waste pollutant gasses from circuit of waste gasses collector  30 , if the physicochemical processes for certain types of pollutants require high temperature. The effluent heat is dispersed by outlet  60 . Also, the waste heat of the removal and/or recovery of pollutants processes which take place in reactor  1  is used in heat exchangers  12  and  32  respectively for heating of waste polluted water from water tank  11  which enters into reactor  1 , and of waste pollutant gases from collector  30  which enter into reactor  1 , depending of the pollutants removing and/or recovering processes requirements. We propose in this invention the possibility of using of waste fuel nuclear bars radiation as ionizing agent  59  for removing and/or recovering of pollutants from waste industrial and commercial waters, gases and suspension particles. Also, the electromagnetic radiation can be used as ionizing agent, such as X-rays, visible spectrum of lights, ultraviolet radiation, microwaves, etc., as we will show in the one example in FIG.  2 . 
     Referring to FIG. 2, a preferable cylindrical configuration which has a longitudinal axis  65 , the volume space  66  is an external reaction chamber of the reactor, said first reactions chamber which is between the inner side of cylinder  67  (the external wall of the reactions chamber), and the outer surface of the cylinder  68 . The cylindrical wall  68  contains the inner volume  69  of the internal reactions chamber  1 , the said second reaction chamber which has the wall  70  and inner volume space  66 . The component  71  represents a set of shelves for the selective electrodes and electrical connection as shown in FIG.  3  and FIG.  6 . The volume spaces  66  and  69  respectively are defined as the volume where the physical phenomena and the chemical reactions take place, and into which a polluted and/or pollutant materials are removed and/or recovered. As shown in FIG.  5  and FIG. 6 the radius of discoidal electrodes are R 1 , R 2  for the negative electrodes and R 3 , R 4  for the positive electrodes, respectively. 
     The reciprocal spatial configuration of positive and negative electrodes and their electrical contacts  93  and electrical isolation  92  are shown in FIG. 6, where  94  act both as spaces and electrical insulators. As shown in FIG. 1, the polluted and/or pollutant materials, that are polluted water, pollutant gasses and pollutant suspension particles are introduced in the first reactions chamber  66  through inlets  2 ,  3  and  4 , respectively and then passed into the second reactions chamber volume  69  through line  83 , through valve  84 , through pump  85  or line  95 , through valve  86 , through heater  57  and inlet  9 . A discoidal system  51  of selective electrodes  72 , shown in FIGS. 3,  5 ,  6  in a perspective view of half part of diagonal vertical section are placed in the said second reactions chamber and are supported by a shelves system  71 . A more detailed view of the electrodes and the electrodes shelves are shown in FIGS. 6 with a cross radial axial section view of the discoidal selective electrode shown in FIG. 3, and a cross section in a horizontal plan shown in FIG.  5 . The electrical connection of voltage supplier  55  to selective electrodes  72  are realized by the sets of bares  71  which pass through the inlet  8 . Inside of container  9  closed with leads  74  is water  75  and a nacelle  89  with a ionization agent of ionizing source  59  located on the reactor axes  65  which is maintained. on the reactor axes by the guide-support  73  fixed on the bottom of cylinder  78  by holder  76 , and by a bare  58 . The first reactions chamber volume  66  of reactor has bottom and top lids  79  and the second reactions chamber volume  69  has bottom and top leads  78 . As it shown in the description of invention, the removal and/or recovery of pollutants compounds, ionic radicals, and ions take place successively in the first reactions chamber and in the second reactions chamber respectively. Into volume space  66 , the water and/or gasses and/or suspension particles pollutants ionizing, and/or solubilizing, and/or reacting are produced by pressure, temperature, ionizing radiation of waste spent fuel nuclear bars or electromagnetic waves. The solubilization is increased by pressure, the ionization is increased by temperature and by ionizing radiation, and both are catalyzed by pollutant and/or non pollutant suspension particles. The removing and/or recovering of pollutants in the reaction volume  66  are produced by reciprocally transforming the pollutant features in compounds, ionic radicals and ions, into a non-polluted sludge, which is eliminated through outlet  7 . A cylindrical volume of polluted or non polluted water  24 , situated between the external cylinder  81  and internal cylinder  88 , which have inlet  21  and outlet  20  and leads  82 , ensure the environment and personnel radiation protection. After pollutants treatment developed in space volume  66  the remaining radicals and ions which will are not removed, are directed for the next step of pollutants treatment by passing the polluted solution/liquid through line  83 , valve  84 , pump  85 , valve  86 , heater  9  to a cylindrical volume space  69  where there is a stronger radiation field and an electrical field is applied between positive electrode  71  and a system of selective negative electrodes  72 . The voltage supply of electrodes  72  is such that the potentials are applied differentially for different segments of them, which enables each pollutants positive ions type to be removed from the fluid, and recover them selectively by depositing each ion type on another segment of the cathodes surfaces. A geometrical form of electrodes and shelves system in a axial section of reactor  1  is shown in FIG.  3  and FIG. 6, where reciprocal disposal determine the solution flowing through treatment volume  69  shown in FIG. 6 from valve line  83  to outlet  5 . The reactions produced on electrodes surfaces produce non pollutant gasses, like hydrogen and oxygen, etc., which, are separated by water with liquid-gas separation drum  44 . More details of the reactor components arrangement in a median lengths section of reactor  1  are shown in FIG.  4 . 
     In the method of the present invention, the removal and/or recovery of pollutants is performed in the same reactor following same processes as those described in FIG.  1  and in the reactor presented in FIGS. 2 to  6 . The method described herein is not restricted to the above description. It can be used for many combinations of pollutants components of various concentrations and aggregation states. The method and procedure, according to this invention can be scaled up or down for a smaller scale or a larger scale removal and/or recovering of pollutants. The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of, the invention will be apparent from the following more particular examples of preferred embodiments of the invention. 
     EXAMPLE 1 
     In FIG. 7 is presented an application of the method as described in FIG. 1 for removal and/or recovery of pollutants from effluent polluted industrial water and pollutant suspension particles. This is similar to FIG. 1 with a modification thereof, namely, waste pollutant industrial suspension particles, electric field, pressure and waste radiation are used as catalyzing processes and as base for multiple chemical reactions and phase transformation liquid-liquid, liquid-solid, solid-solid which reciprocally neutralize each-others own pollutant characteristics which would enable the water to be depolluted and to recover non-pollutant useful materials. 
     EXAMPLE 2 
     The process presented in FIG. 8 is based on method in FIG. 1, but the chemical reactions between pollutant components in water take place in presence of chemical non polluted suspension particles which are used as a catalyzer and in presence of electric-, radiation-, temperature- and pressure fields, applied simultaneously or successively depending on the waste water pollutant components. The successive physicochemical complex reactions will enable the separation and recovery of solid, liquid and gaseous non pollutant recyclable materials. 
     EXAMPLE 3 
     The process presented in FIG. 9 is for the removal and recovery of waste chemical, and/or physical, and/or biological pollutant suspension particles. This process is using non polluted industrial water which under pressure and temperature conditions at high pressure, temperature and/or radiation fields synthesis of new liquid and/or solid and/or gaseous phases of useful recyclable materials. A particular example of this process is the synthesis of useful ceramics materials. 
     EXAMPLE 4 
     The process presented in FIG. 10, is using industrial non polluted water, as a medium for the removal and/or recovery of pollutant gases and waste industrial pollutant suspension particles. The pressure, temperature and/or electromagnetic radiation and/or electrostatic field are used for chemical and/or components phase transformation to solid and/or liquid and/or gaseous non pollutant/recyclable materials. In this process, the pollutant suspension particles act as catalyst of ions and/or physicochemical systems transformation into non-pollutants/recyclable products. 
     EXAMPLE 5 
     In the process presented in FIG. 11, industrial non polluted water and non pollutant suspension particles are used as a medium and respectively as a catalyst of reaction processes for removing and/or recovering of waste industrial pollutant gases. The resulting materials after treatment are non pollutant solid and/or liquid and/or gaseous useful materials. 
     EXAMPLE 6 
     In the process presented in FIG. 12, industrial pollutants of waste polluted water and of waste industrial pollutant gaseous materials are removed and/or recovered using non pollutant suspension particles as a catalyst of reaction between ions and compounds produced by pressure, temperature, electromagnetic radiation, and nuclear radiation fields. The resulting materials are non pollutant/recyclable, which can be used as primary materials for processing of other products. 
     EXAMPLE 7 
     In the process presented in FIG. 13, the pollutant characteristics of industrial waste pollutant gases and of waste industrial polluted water are reciprocally neutralized using pressure, temperature and radiation fields as ionizing and as chemical reactions agents of pollutant molecules and ions, produced in aqueous solution. The treatment results in non-polluted solid materials and/or recyclable materials depending of the content and the concentration of the components which primary existed in the waste materials. 
     EXAMPLE 8 
     In the process presented in FIG. 14, the primary industrial pollutant gases are removed and/or recovered by using industrial non polluted water as medium and reaction support between pollutant gases, ionized molecules and chemical radicals produced by pressure, temperature, electric, electromagnetic and nuclear radiation fields. The treatment results in non-polluted or recyclable materials used as a primary material for processing of other products. 
     While the invention has been particularly shown and described above with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. From among a large number of possible applications of the invention, we have only mentioned the eight above examples. However, a large number of other applications can be developed based on the description of above processes which are using the combined and simultaneous/successive conjugated physicochemical effects (CSCPCE) of high pressure, temperature, electric, radiation fields, and air/or aqueous suspension particles used for the removal and/or recovery of pollutant materials from water and air applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, these applications, are also covered by this invention. 
     As mentioned above the methods and procedures for the removal and/or recovery of pollutants, described herein, can be scaled up or down for a small scale or a large scale applications. Two such example are given below. 
     EXAMPLE 9 
     Low cadmium (Cd) concentration of elemental Cd 2+  ions, and as complex ions with Cd in inorganic aqueous dilute acidic or hydroxide or alkaline solution can be removed and recovered as metal and as combination of cadmium compounds, respectively, in the reactor chamber  69  (FIG. 2) by deposition on the selective electrode system  71  (FIGS. 3 and 6) by passing the polluted solution at a moderate pressure and temperature through the reactor chamber  69 , with a velocity depending on the primary cadmium concentration, using an electric field of a few Volt/meter, applied between the selective electrodes systems  71  (FIGS.  3  and  6 ). If the said solution contains cadmium in the neutral state and as non- solubilized compounds, such as those which are contained in CdBr 2 , CdCO 3 , CdF 3 , CdI 2 , CdSiO 3 , CdSO 4 , Cd(OH) 2 , Cd(NO 3 ) 2 , etc., the electromagnetic field or nuclear radiation (optional) is supplementary applied. Various combinations of Cd and other polluted mixtures of Cd can be completely miscible in the liquid state and crystallize together in the some crystal lattice forming a partial or complete series of solid solutions. Among them, in this particular case, the most important solid solutions are those between Cd and its homogenous alloys. 
     Generally, in any metallic pollutant systems, containing water, a certain concentration of pollutant components are solubilized in a low concentration of hydroxides and/or salts, which are contained in the aqueous solution, and, as a result, the recovery of a large variety of compounds such as those given as examples in Table  1  can be synthesized from such solutions.

     EXAMPLE 10 
     FIG. 15 represents a block scheme of a “clean town” where the method described in the present invention is applied, at a larger scale, for the removal, recovery and recycling of waste effluent industrial pollutants, using a reactor such as presented in FIGS. 1 to  6  and physicochemical phenomena, and physicochemical principles which are based on this invention, as described above (FIGS. 1 to  14 ). FIG. 15 shows that all industries,  1  to  9  are concentrated in Area II, between the energetic power sources (Areas I and III). The residential area V, is located outside of a buffer area (III), between a forest and agreement belt (IV), and the agriculture and food industry area (Area VI). The proposed urbanistic topography enables: a more efficient utilization of the electrical power by reducing the power lost; efficient integration of nuclear and alternative energy resources (e.g. solar energy), and enables cost effective solutions to be developed for the environment protection and for utilization of the industry by-products which result from the removal and recovery of industrial pollutants and from materials recycling, etc. 
     Waste radioactive materials can partially be used as pollutant materials removal agent, as described in the present invention. The buffer zone between the nuclear power station/industry belt and the residential area can be effectively used and integrated in the energetic system using solar photovoltaic (thermophotovoltaic) generators, wind energy generators, hydrogen and oxygen production by water electrolysis and hydrogen storage units. The hydrogen can be used as fuel for the metallurgical industry, for the synthetic gas production from coal, for filing metallic hydrides containers used as fuel for the electric cars, etc. The by-product oxygen can be used for filing oxygen containers for various applications, for the metallurgical industry, for the conversion of escaped organic vapors of various industries into environmentally friendly gases using industrial waste heat, etc. As shown in FIG. 15, the areas I, II, and III supply residential area V, the agreements belt IV, and the agriculture-food industry area VI with industrial goods, energy and synthetic gases. The industry area II and areas III and I receive primary materials, including waste. The interaction between different areas of the “clean town” are functionally interconnected for goods using pollution removal for environment protection, and materials recovery and recycling. 
     It will be apparent from the FIGS. 1 to  6  and FIGS. 7 to  15  that the present methods and processes for the removal and recovery of pollutants from waste industrial water, waste industrial pollutant gasses and waste industrial suspension particles can be used in continuous or intermittent de-polluting systems in which waste polluted water, waste pollutant gasses and waste pollutant suspension particles are continuously or intermittently supplied. Using line  95  as alternative for flowing polluted aqueous mixtures from the first reactions chamber to the second reactions chamber is for intermittent operation. In such as mode of operation each reaction chamber are successively emptied or filled. 
     It should be evident that this disclosure is by way of example and that various changes may be made by adding, modifying or eliminating details without departing from the fair scope of the teaching contained in this disclosure. The invention is therefore not limited to particular details of this disclosure except to the extent that the following claims are necessarily so limited.
