Patent CA-2714638-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MOSTOWFI FARSHID
IPC: B81B1/00
Filed: 2010-09-03
Abstract: Methods and related systems are described for analyzing phase properties in a microfluidic device. A fluid is introduced under pressure into microchannel, and phase states of the fluid are optically detected at a number of locations along the microchannel. Gas and liquid phases of the fluid are distinguished based on a plurality of digital images of the fluid in the microchannel. Bi-level images can be generated based on the digital images, and the fraction of liquid or gas in the fluid can be estimated versus pressure based on the bi-level images. Properties such as bubble point values and/or a phase volume distribution ratio versus pressure for the fluid are can be estimated based on the detected phase states of the fluid.

Title: Sulfate removal from water sources
Inventor: ZUBACK JOSEPH EDWARD
IPC: C02F9/02
Filed: 2009-04-13
Abstract: An integrated process for removing sulfate from water sources, such as pretreated acid mine drainage (AMD). The multivalent cation (MVC) content of a sul-fate stream is reduced by strong acid cation (SAC) ion ex-change and sulfate is concentrated with a membrane sys-tem and separated as precipitate and overflow.    Precipita-tion results from reaction of sulfate with MVC produced by regeneration of SAC with sodium chloride. The over-flow is reacted with carbonate to precipitate MVC, gener-ate sodium chloride and give a further overflow stream.  This latter stream is concentrated to a level capable of be-ing a regenerant for the SAC and when needed, used to re-generate the SAC and produce MVC for sulfate precipita-tion. The process minimizes the use of chemicals by treat-ing, reconcentrating and recycling input species. Capital expenditures are minimized by precipitation of only side streams.
