Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and regenerable molecular media for wastewater purification treatment and a preparation method thereof. The molecular filter media of the present invention are extremely high surface area filter granules and pellets that are either supplied loose or molded into blocks. The industry uses these for filtration in flow-through filter devices. The disclosed regenerants effectively break bonds and get the molecular filters ready for the next cycle of use.
Claims18
A filtration device for purifying contaminated liquid, the filtration device comprising:
- a frame having an inlet and an outlet;
- a molecular filter media including,
- about 70-100%, by weight, of a plurality of filter core components having microporous activated granules,
- about 0-20%, by weight, of a plurality of filter activated components that are extruded and include binders, and
- about 0.5-15%, by weight, of a plurality of filter components having active reagents;
- a regenerant within the frame, wherein the regenerant is an aqueous liquid configured to recharge the filter media;
- and
- a pump within the frame, wherein the pump is configured to transfer the purified liquid after filtration and maintain a pressure in the frame for flow of the liquid.
A method for removing trihalomethanes, heavy metals, aluminium, hardness, bacteria, and fungus, comprising:
- providing a filter comprising filter media and pump;
- providing a contaminated liquid into the filter containing a molecular filter media;
- soaking the filter media in the regenerant to effectively regenerate the filter media, once the liquid is purified and the filter media is saturated;
- and
- reintroducing the effluent for the next filtration cycle.
