US Patent:

7413657, Aug 19, 2008

Filed:

Dec 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/725959

Inventors:

Mathews J. Thundyil - The Woodlands TX, US
Heath Burns - Conroe TX, US
Douglas M. Mittlesteadt - Saline MI, US
Martin G. Miller - The Woodlands TX, US
Michael R. Spearman - The Woodlands TX, US

Assignee:

Porous Media Ltd. - Conroe TX

International Classification:

B01D 11/00

US Classification:

210634, 210702, 210738, 210799, 556466

Abstract:

A process for the extraction of an unwanted material from a fluid containing the unwanted material comprising the steps of introducing an immiscible extraction fluid into the fluid having an unwanted material therein to form a plurality of extraction fluid droplets in the fluid, allowing the plurality of extraction fluid droplets to hydrophilicly interact with the unwanted material in the fluid to cause the extraction fluid droplets to form into a plurality of coalesceable droplets, coalescing the coalesceable droplets into larger droplets containing the unwanted material, and separating the larger droplets containing the unwanted material from the fluid.

International Classification:

B01D 47/00

US Classification:

95211, 95210, 95230, 95237, 96290, 96296, 210800

Abstract:

A process for the extraction of an unwanted material from a gas comprising the steps of introducing an extraction liquid into a fluid having an unwanted liquid therein to form a physical aerosol comprising a plurality of extraction liquid droplets and the fluid, allowing the plurality of extraction liquid droplets to interact with the unwanted liquid in the gas to cause the extraction liquid droplets to be “wetted out” and captured on a porous medium, where the liquid is further contacted by the gas and simultaneously formed into a plurality of coalesceable droplets, coalescing the coalesceable droplets into larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid, and separating the larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid from the fluid.

International Classification:

B01D 47/00

US Classification:

95206, 95211, 95230, 95237, 210800

Abstract:

A process for the extraction of an unwanted material from a gas or liquid comprising the steps of introducing an extraction liquid into the fluid having an unwanted liquid therein to form a physical microdispersion comprising a plurality of extraction liquid droplets and the fluid, allowing the plurality of extraction liquid droplets to interact with the unwanted component in the fluid, to cause the extraction liquid droplets to be “wetted out” and captured on a porous medium, where the liquid is further contacted by the gas and simultaneously formed into a plurality of coalesceable droplets, coalescing the coalesceable droplets into larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid, and separating the larger droplets containing the unwanted liquid from the fluid.
