Developed and be used for the iron content that arsenic removes or the medium of aluminum oxide in company.Dow Chemical Co. has developed based on the arsenic of titanium and has removed medium (Adsorbsia TMGTO TM).
Usually, arsenic is trivalent form and pentavalent form, wherein trivalent arsenic As in water + 3(it can be for example with H for form 3AsO 3Or AsO 2-Exist) be considered to have more toxicity, and pentavalent arsenic form As + 5(for example with HAsO 4 --Exist) be easier to remove.Therefore, in ordinary method with As + 3Be oxidized to As + 5Be lower than certain content so that total arsenic content is reduced to, be usually less than 10 micrograms per litre, corresponding to 10ppb (per 1,000,000,000 parts umber).
De Esparza is at United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 461, discloses a kind of system of removing arsenic from underground water in No. 535.In this patent, use clay, peptizer such as iron(ic) chloride and Tai-Ace S 150, and oxygenant such as Losantin are adsorbed on arsenic on the colloid admixture that solidifies.For for before drinking clay being settled down, need 15-20 minute waiting time from water at water.
Disclose a kind of different system in European patent application EP 1 568 660, wherein removed arsenic with strong basic type anion-exchange resin, this resin comprises at least a its arsenate to have and is not more than 10 -5K SpMetal ion or metallic ion.
In the rural area that lacks cleaning drinking-water, commercially available desalt extracting unit has obtained the ubiquity that increases.This unit by the Vestergaard Frandsen Group with LifeStraw Sell.This unit is used for directly coming filtered water by this unit and sending in the mouth from water source water intaking.This suction unit is compact and have mouthpiece (mouth piece), is about 31cm and wide 29mm, and available immediately.The water that is removed can directly be quoted for the people safely.This unit comprises specifically developed resin based on halogen, and it is kill bacteria (as Shigella (Shigella), salmonella (Salmonella), enterococcus spp (Enterrococus), streptococcus aureus (StaphylococcusAureus) and intestinal bacteria (E.Coli)) when contact especially effectively; The fabric prefilter is equal to or greater than 6 microns with removal, preferably is equal to or greater than 15 microns particle; With gac to keep too much iodine and bad aroma and flavor here.This unit can be removed invasive organism effectively, but these microorganism spread diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid fever and cholera.Though have many advantages, that is, almost immediately with the ability of water sterilization, the cost of low weight, portable construction, device is low, makes it be fit to be distributed in poor area, and it can not remove arsenic effectively from water.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of water cleaning device of compactness, it is preferably LifeStraw Form, it also is suitable for removing arsenic.
This purpose has a plurality of compartments so that water flows through the water purification unit realization of these compartments successively by a kind of, and this unit comprises:
-have a compartment that the iodine that is used for killing the water microorganism discharges resin,
-having the downstream compartment of iodine scavenging agent, the iodine scavenging agent is set to discharge chlorine in the iodine scavenging process, and the chlorine dose that discharges is set to be used for trivalent arsenic (As+III) is oxidized to pentavalent arsenic (As+V),
-other the downstream compartment with arsenic removal resin, arsenic is removed resin and be set to remove arsenic from water.
Use purification unit of the present invention, a kind of compact apparatus is provided, it is of use not only in water purification on the general basis, and is used to remove arsenic.This compactness performance realizes to help arsenic to remove by using chlorine successfully trivalent arsenic to be oxidized to pentavalent arsenic.Therefore, the present invention is used to from the fully combination of the knowledge of different field, promptly in main poor tropic countries with compact, portable unit (as
Figure A200780036820D00081
The combination of the technology that technology of purifying waste water and the arsenic in Modern Family's device or bigger facility are removed.
Be understood that the lower cost of the present invention makes the water that the immiseration area not only can biologically be cleaned, and can obtain not having simultaneously the water of arsenic. Product has obtained the ubiquity that increases gradually in being difficult to obtain the remote districts of clean water, and has the expansion that arsenic is removed ability
Figure A200780036820D00083
Product does not have high cost for the end user.Provide having cheaply of this compactness to comprise this fact of product of the high quality detergency ability that arsenic is removed in remote districts, obviously be different from United States Patent (USP) N0.6,461,535, narrate during the 1st hurdle 49-57 is capable " yet; from water, remove chemical element, need more complicated method such as arsenic.In developed country, reverse osmosis, ion-exchange and gac are the common technologies of purified water in large-scale coalescent district.Yet for a small amount of population in living in remote districts, above-mentioned common technology is for remove impurity from underground water, as arsenic, is restricted usually or impossible.”
By the present invention, ion-exchange and gac all can use, and this will understand hereinafter that its cost and compactedness can not hinder in remote residence and even very obtain clean water in the poverty-stricken area.Therefore, can significantly reduce the disease of propagating with the inferior quality tap water, if it is government and non governmental organization help these compact apparatus to distribute in the resident of poverty-stricken area, especially true.
Yet, it should be noted that application of the present invention is not limited to poor remote districts, and can be used in multiple other application.For example, because its compactedness, it also is applicable to general outdoors.Especially in US mountainous regions, water there is clean at first glance and be fit to drink, but contain have or not smell, the tasteless and toxic arsenic of tool because dual-use function of the present invention, the user can guarantee this in light weight, portable unit, removes as the arsenic of expansion and uses
Figure A200780036820D00084
And suffer from the disease that arsenic brings out after preventing, wherein biology purifies and chemical purification can be carried out the degree that reaches capable of direct drinking simultaneously by unit of the present invention.
In preferred embodiments, the iodine scavenger resin is strong ion exchange resin, for example strong basic type anion-exchange resin.Select this resin to promote described unitary compactedness.The well-known activated carbon for iodine removal that is to use.Yet this material is the equally effective and sizable amount of needs not as strong ion exchange resin.In order to obtain compact unit, especially exist
Figure A200780036820D00091
Under the situation of product, studied with strong basic type anion-exchange resin and replaced.As mentioned above, use this resin to open to need not to lose compactedness and with the possibility of arsenic oxidation.
The material standed for of iodine scavenging agent-chlorine wash-out resin is a strong basic type anion-exchange resin, its partly or fully load have the non covalent bond that can discharge chlorine during by this resin to be connected to organic compounds at water.Preferably, this organic compound is that dichloroisocyanuric acid salt is (from dichloroisocyanuric acid sodium, be also referred to as 1,3-two chloro-1,3,5-triazines-2,4-diketone-6-sodium oxide or " NaDCC ") or chloramine B (chloramine-B) hydrate or 1,3-two chloro-5,5-T10 or 5-nitroorotic acid sylvite monohydrate, it for example is described among patent application US 2005/0029493 A1.Other are chosen as disclosed resinous type in US 4382862.
Randomly, arsenic is removed medium can comprise activated alumina, and it for example is called AAFS50's by commercially available name
Figure A200780036820D00092
Medium is known.Perhaps, arsenic is removed medium and is comprised ferric oxide, and it for example is called AD33R or AD33L by commercially available name
Figure A200780036820D00093
Resin is known.These commercial resins contain arsenic absorption material.Therefore, under the situation that these commercial resins or medium use, can utilize As (III) to reduce the amount of these commercial resins or medium, thereby mainly utilize As (V) to remove performance to the oxychlorination of As (V) in the present invention.Because the price of these materials is higher, the minimizing of the amount of these commercial resins or medium is very favourable.Also be owing to this reason, being considered to useful measure is thin layer of ferric oxide, and it may be rich in that aluminum oxide or oxidized aluminium substitute or be substituted by other heavy metal oxide such as manganese, zirconium or titanium oxide.
Iodine need act on certain hour and learn the purification result to obtain good biological.Depend on action time from iodine and discharge resin flowing to the iodine scavenging agent.
Figure A200780036820D00094
Situation under, through port is drunk by this compact unit if water is directly drawn from the water source that pollutes, and then may need prolonged action time, this can comprise between resin and the iodine scavenger resin that void space realize by discharging at iodine.At this moment, the volume that should select void space is with water being drawn by described when installing in the mouth, during common water flows through described volume, provides the iodine that prolongs substantially and the reaction times between the water pollutant.Term " prolongs the prolongation that " is contained flowing time substantially, and it is flowing through the order of magnitude that iodine discharges the time of resin compartment usually.For this reason, the volume of void space can be suitable with the volume of the compartment with iodine release resin.For the LifeStraw product, flow velocity is approximately 100-150ml/ minute, and this also can be realized having under the situation of suitable design by the present invention.
In addition, in order to remove excessive chlorine and to improve taste or odor properties, can choose wantonly to one or several compartments gac is provided through the water of cleaning.Similarly, remove for iodine, can choose wantonly provides or several compartments that contain gac (for example granular carbon (GAC) form).As another selection, GAC can bear Ag-bearing.
Can remove the downstream use gac of resin at iodine.The advantage of this set is that described removing resin mainly absorbs iodine and discharges the chlorine that is used for the arsenic oxidation, for example is the chlorine of hypochlorite anionic form.Perhaps, can remove the upstream use gac of resin at least partly to remove iodine at iodine.In the third is provided with, iodine can be removed the resin branch in two or more compartments removing all iodine, and gac can be placed these iodine to remove between two of resin compartments.In the 4th kind is provided with, gac and iodine can be removed mixed with resin together.
The present invention can be used in many physical implementation schemes.Yet the scheme of preferably utilizing high compactedness potentiality is portable water purification unit, for example, and piped, as
Figure A200780036820D00101
Product.For the ease of carrying everywhere, this unit advantageously is shorter than 40cm, or even is shorter than 35cm.For example
Figure A200780036820D00102
Length with 31cm, the dry weight of the width of 29mm and 95 grams.Therefore, the described unit in portable embodiment preferably has less than 50mm, even less than the diameter of 40mm.As
Figure A200780036820D00103
This pipe can be furnished with mouthpiece and be used for water is drawn by this unit.
Should regulate the amount and the efficient of chlorine release resin and remove, for example be low to moderate the level that is lower than 10ppb to obtain certain arsenic.Required for this reason amount of resin depends on arsenic content that flows into water and the target arsenic level that flows out water.Therefore, unit of the present invention can be set to discharge a certain amount of iodine in water; Can be depending on amount and efficient that this a certain amount of iodine is provided with the iodine scavenger resin then.
Unit of the present invention also can be set to discharge a certain amount of reactive chlorine in water; This a certain amount of reactive chlorine is set to be used for the trivalent arsenic of oxidation real mass.For security reasons, although it is low to flow into the arsenic amount that may exist in the water, this resin can be set to the arsenic to high density, for example up to 1,000 or 2, still can guarantee valid function in the scope of 000ppb.Comparatively speaking, what can mention is that the arsenic content in Bangladesh in many water sources is 1200ppb, far surpasses the allowable value of the 50ppb of Bangladesh's tap water.
Unit of the present invention can utilize above-mentioned arsenic to remove as second and remove section.In these multistages were provided with, in first section, water may no longer be that through port is drawn, but utilizes pump, gravity, siphon etc. at least.Perhaps can be in first section treating water in batches or continuously, through port is drawn in other section then.
Under these circumstances, promptly utilize first medium to remove most of arsenic, the arsenic of 50-95% for example, and utilize under second section situation that arsenic content is reduced to low-down level (that is, being lower than the allowable value of 10ppb), multistage setting may be useful.The reason of using two sections or multistage to remove can be that first section product is than second section product considerably cheaper.Therefore, can use cheaply first section to remove the big arsenic content of first part, and can use more expensive second section will remain part arsenic and be removed to the level that is lower than regulation, as 10ppb.
For example, at Shaban W.Al Rmalli etc. in " A biomaterial based approach forarsenic removal from water (based on the measure of the arsenic removal from water of biomaterial) ", J.Environ.Monit. publish, 2005,7, disclose among the 279-282 and can use biomaterial to remove arsenic.The dry root of biomaterial such as aquatic Herba Eichhorniae plant (Eichhornia crassipes) can be removed arsenic from water.In the text, having provided the arsenic clearance is 96% example.Though it is it is slower to remove speed, reaches 80% arsenic clearance in promptly 30 minutes and reaches 96% arsenic clearance in 60 minutes, consequently likely and have the arsenic of improvement and remove potential of performance.These low-cost bio materials can be regarded as the material standed for that first section arsenic is removed that is used for discussed above.
Other useful materials that arsenic is removed can derive from the VeeTech of u s company, P.C., and trade name is G2 and HIX.These products can be material standed for that single stage arsenic removes or are two sections of the present invention or the material standed in the multistage arsenic removal system more.
No matter only use one section also be to use two sections or more multistage remove arsenic, its target is and reduces arsenic to being lower than low-down level, for example the lower level of internationally recognized 10ppb.
Following exemplary value helps to be familiar with the resin relative quantity in the unit of the present invention.The amount of iodine release resin is generally the 5-30% of unit internal volume, preferred 10-25%.The amount of iodine scavenging agent-chlorine wash-out resin is generally the 5-60% of unit internal volume, preferred 10-40%.The amount of arsenic removal medium is generally the 5-80% of unit internal volume.If there is gac, then the total amount of gac is generally the 10-60% of unit internal volume.Part or whole gac can be born Ag-bearing.Activated carbon chamber can be divided into two or several compartments and strategically be placed on described cell enclosure inside.Perhaps, gac other composition with some amberlite lipids or arsenic adsorption medium class can be mixed, for example also be used for product LifeStraw TMIn resin.
