Patent EP-1215176-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HUANG CHING-TSUEN
IPC: C02F1/28
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: This invention discloses a method for removing and stabilizing liquid chromate
ion and other oxy-metal ions with barium compounds. 
     Barium compounds with very low water solubility , such as barium silicate ,
barium carbonate, barium fluorosilicate, ect. can be used as powerful adsorbents for
adsorbing chromate ion (CrO 4   2- ) and other oxy-metal ions from liquid solutions at a
wide pH range with very high adsorption capacity. For instance, one gram of barium
silicate can adsorb chromate up to 200 mg. The adsorption capacity is higher than
that of all the chromate adsorbents currently available. The chromate waste solution
treated by barium silicate leaves as low as 0.01 ppm chromate in the solution. Also
disclosed in this invention is a de-sorption process of chromate. After de-sorption,
the chromate is recovered as a resource and the adsorbents are regenerated for reuse
with the same adsorption power. 
     Barium compounds with high water solubility, such as barium chloride and
barium hydroxide etc. are used to prepare solutions, and then mixed with liquid
wastes containing chromate ion and other oxy-metal ions to form very poorly soluble
precipitates of barium compounds. The ions from liquid waste are thus removes by
filtration, or the ions are immobilized in the solidification of the wastes, thereby
promoting the efficiency of solidification and upgrading the quality of the solidified
wastes.

Abstract: The invention refers to a device for measurement of the thickness of a first layer, comprising one or more sublayers, on a second layer of a metal sheet by X-ray fluorescence analysis comprising means for generating and directing a beam of polychromatic primary X-rays, said beam being able to penetrate into the first and second layers for converting primary X-rays into chemical element specific fluorescent X-rays by means of absorption of primary X-rays and re-emission of fluorescent X-rays by the chemical element, and further comprising means for detecting element specific fluorescent X-rays and determining an intensity thereof. The means for detection have been placed at an angle with respect to the primary beam of X-rays in dependence of the chemical element from which the fluorescent X-rays are to be detected. Herewith an improvement of the efficiency of detection is achieved, and the measurement time is reduced accordingly. Hence, a device is provided with which alloys with a low concentration of fluorescent elements can now be analysed, for determining the thickness of a cladding.
