Combined Solid Waste, Carbon Dioxide Quicklime Sparging, Brine Water, And Reverse Osmosis/Ion Exchange Processes For The Production Of Soda Chemicals

View page
US Patent:
8623316, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Jul 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
13/127873
Inventors:
Fze Engsl - Abu Dhabi, AE
Tarek R. Farhat - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
C01D 7/12
C01D 7/00
US Classification:
423424, 423422, 423427
Abstract:
The proposed invention uses a classical chemical equation where carbon dioxide COis reacted with quick lime Ca(OH)to produce soda carb NaHCOand concentrating it to 6% using advanced membrane and resin technology. The invention requires three chemicals CO, Ca(OH), and sodium chloride NaCl to produce NaHCO. The output of many industrial processes lacks waste heat and in many instances COand the present invention combines a solid waste processing unit to the above processes which allows the production of solid products or high % liquors. Availability of waste heat sources can lead to high efficiency in NaHCO, NaCO, and NaOH production. The process is not chloro-alkali electrochemical or Solvay column ammonia processing technique. Advanced membrane uses technologies of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration systems while resin technology uses ion exchange systems. Therefore, we conveniently call it the solid waste-quicklime membrane SWQM process.

Apparatus For Automatic Depositing Of Multiple Ultra-Thin Layers Using Layer-By Layer Deposition And Method For Using The Same

View page
US Patent:
20100323106, Dec 23, 2010
Filed:
Feb 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/035933
Inventors:
Tarek R. Farhat - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
B05D 3/10
B05C 3/02
B05C 11/00
US Classification:
427214, 118400, 118696, 427352
Abstract:
Novel methods and apparatus for thin film layer-by-layer depositions on substrates is provided. More specifically, provided herein is a layer-by-layer deposition of polymers and colloids on substrates of varying sizes and shapes including, for example, flat solid substrates, powder surfaces, flat porous sheets, and micro-porous pipes. Still more specifically, this disclosure relates to an apparatus that can be used to automate the deposition of ultra-thin layers on various substrates of varying sizes and shapes using layer-by-layer deposition and a method for doing the same.

Using The Solid Waste-Quicklime Membrane Swqm Process For The Production Of Sodium Hydroxide

View page
US Patent:
20130272934, Oct 17, 2013
Filed:
Dec 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/521127
Inventors:
Mohammed Olfi - Abu Dhabi, AE
Tarek R. Farhat - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
C22B 26/10
US Classification:
423181
Abstract:
The proposed invention uses ion exchange technology to produce dilute caustic soda liquor from calcium hydroxide liquor Ca(OH)followed by the reaction of carbon dioxide COwith caustic soda to produce dilute sodium carbonate solution. Multiple reverse osmosis and acidic COsparging can concentrate the NaCOliquor to 6-7%. The 6-7% liquor is treated with waste heat to produce 50% or solid Na2CO3. The 6-7% liquor can be treated with Ca(OH)to produce 6-7% NaOH liquor then can be transformed to 50% or solid NaOH. The output of many industrial processes generates waste heat, brine water and CO2 and the present invention combines these components in the production of solid NaCO3, NaOH or their high % liquors. Availability of waste heat sources can lead to higher efficiency in NaCOand NaOH production. The process is not electrochemical chloro alkali technology or Solvay process.

Using Alkaline Fly Ash And Similar Byproducts In An Ion-Exchange/Reverse Osmosis Process For The Production Of Sodium Carbonate

View page
US Patent:
20130323143, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Dec 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/992569
Inventors:
Mohammed Olfi - Abu Dhabi, AE
Tarek R. Farhat - Memphis TN, US
International Classification:
B01D 53/62
US Classification:
423181, 422119
Abstract:
The proposed invention uses industrial byproducts such as fly ash in an ion exchange/reverse osmosis (IE/RO) patented technology to sequester carbon dioxide CO2 gas and produce 6 to 7% sodium carbonate (NaCO) liquor. Similar materials encompass alkaline Fly Ash (AFA) liquor, alkaline red mud (ARM), coal ash, wood ash, and similar natural byproduct materials that are rich in metallic oxides. The process uses AFA or ARM at the input of an IE/RO process where the hydroxides (OH″) get extracted and concentrated for COgas sequestration. The remaining insoluble byproduct material is used in civil works such as construction and road industry. Ion exchange modules are used to remove all multivalent ionic impurities while a reverse osmosis (RO) skid concentrates the carbonated liquor up to 6 to 7% liquor (or 10% in advanced RO). The process is not an electrochemical chloro-alkali battery nor related to the ammonical Solvay process. The invention is inherently harnessed for carbon capture in the production of soda chemicals from waste alkaline byproducts. There are similarities in the hardware of patent # WIPO Patent App. No. PCT/IB2009/007713.
