Description

Porous composite blocks comprising guanylated media
Background
Clean drinking water is one of the basic needs of all people. However, for a number of reasons, in many parts of the world, there is no reliable supply of clean drinking water due to factors such as intermittent power outages, rapid urbanization resulting in limited water supply, and varying quality of water. Bacteria naturally grow in most aquatic systems and can pose problems for industrial and municipal applications that use water, such as cooling towers, heat exchangers, drinking water and wastewater applications, oil and gas exploration, and hydraulic fracturing operations.
Porous composite blocks comprising adsorbent materials are useful as filtration media in the treatment of liquid feed streams, such as in water treatment applications. For example, one type of porous composite block is a carbon block filter comprising activated carbon particles bound together by a polymeric binder material. However, current porous composite blocks have limited ability to eliminate bacteria during filtration of water.
Disclosure of Invention
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a porous composite block. The porous composite block comprises adsorbent media particles comprising guanylated media particles. The porous composite block also contains a polymeric binder that binds the sorbent media particles together.
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a porous composite block comprising adsorbent media particles. The sorbent media particles comprise guanylated siliceous media particles having a particle size of about 10 microns to about 50 microns and being about 10% to about 65% by weight of the porous composite block. The guanylated siliceous media particles comprise one or more guanidine-functionalized silicon atoms having the structure:
Figure BDA0002377045480000011
the sorbent media particles also include activated carbon particles having a particle size of from about 20 microns to about 200 microns and being from about 10% to about 50% by weight of the porous composite block. The porous composite block also comprises a non-fibrous polymeric binder binding the sorbent media particles together and being from about 35% to about 65% by weight of the porous composite block. The guanylated siliceous media particles and the activated carbon media particles are uniformly distributed in the porous composite block.
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a water filter comprising a porous composite block.
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of using a porous composite block. The method includes passing water through a porous composite block to provide water having an increased purity.
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of making a composite block. The method includes dispersing guanylated media particles (e.g., in binder particles and optionally with co-sorbent particles) to form a dispersed mixture comprising guanylated media particles. The method also includes sintering the dispersed mixture to form a porous composite block.
In various embodiments, the porous composite blocks and methods of using the same of the present invention have certain advantages over other porous composite blocks, at least some of which are unexpected. For example, in some embodiments, the porous composite blocks of the present invention can remove a greater amount of contaminants from water, such as microbial contaminants (e.g., cells or particles having genetic material and capable of replication), microbes (e.g., any cell or particle having genetic material suitable for detection analysis, such as bacteria, yeast, fungi, viruses, such as encapsulated or unencapsulated viruses, and bacterial endospores), other contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, chemical compounds, such as small molecules, etc.), or combinations thereof, wherein the comparative statement in the summary regarding bacteria removal is directed to a comparative test using a porous composite block that is substantially identical to an embodiment of the porous composite block of the present invention but lacks guanylated media particles, using water comprising the same bacteria at the same concentration of bacteria at the same flow rate and through the same amount of porous composite material.
In some embodiments, the porous composite blocks of the present invention can remove a greater amount of bacteria from water than porous composite blocks comprising silver. In some embodiments, the porous composite blocks of the present invention may be less expensive than porous composite blocks comprising silver, such as compared to silver-containing porous composite blocks capable of removing the same or less amount of bacteria from water. In some embodiments, the porous composite blocks of the present invention may comprise silver, and when used in combination with guanylated media particles, the silver may have an additive or synergistic effect on bacterial removal such that the amount of bacteria removed by the porous composite block comprising silver and guanylated media is equal to or greater than the total bacteria removed by the combination of the porous composite block comprising the same concentration of silver but no guanylated media and the porous composite block comprising the same concentration of guanylated media but no silver.
Many filtration additives do not maintain bacterial or non-bacterial removal capacity under the high temperature (e.g., 200 ℃ or greater, or 400 ℃ or greater) and high pressure conditions used to make porous composite blocks, such as carbon blocks. However, the guanylating medium remains little or no change in properties under the heating conditions used to prepare the porous composite block. Many filter additives interfere with the porous composite block filtration activity. However, guanylated media had little or no interference with the filtration activity of the porous composite block.

Porous composite block:
the present invention provides a porous composite block comprising adsorbent media particles and a polymeric binder binding the adsorbent media particles together. The sorbent media particles comprise guanylated media particles. The porous composite block may be monolithic. The pores of the block may include spaces formed between the sorbent media particles and particles of the binder particles when sintered together to soften the polymeric binder and adhere the sorbent media particles to one another to form the porous composite block. The bores of the block include through-holes that are fluidly connected to each other in a tortuous or direct path and from one side of the block to the other (e.g., to about the opposite side). The through-holes allow the porous composite block to be used as a filter, such as for aqueous fluids. When the porous composite block is used as a water filter, the guanidine groups can provide for removal of: microbial contaminants (e.g., cells or particles having genetic material and capable of replication), microorganisms (e.g., any cells or particles having genetic material suitable for analysis or detection, such as bacteria, yeast, fungi, viruses such as encapsulated or unencapsulated viruses, and bacterial endospores), or combinations thereof. In various embodiments, when used as a filter for aqueous fluids, the composite block can remove microbial contaminants and other non-microbial contaminants, preferably bacteria and viruses, and most preferably bacteria.
The porous composite block may be non-fibrous such that the porous composite block is substantially free of fibers (e.g., a fibrous binder or filler, such as cellulose fibers). The polymeric binder used in the porous composite block may be a non-fibrous binder, wherein the binder may have any suitable form prior to sintering, but has a non-fibrous form after being formed into the porous composite block. For example, the binder may be in any suitable form, such as particles, extruded pellets, or fibers, prior to sintering to form the porous composite block. After forming the porous composite block, the binder may be non-fibrous, such as particulate, agglomerated, or a combination thereof. In other embodiments, the porous composite block may include fibers, such as a fibrous binder or filler (e.g., glass fibers).
The sorbent media particles can be any suitable proportion of the porous composite block such that the porous composite block can be used as described herein. For example, the sorbent media particles can be about 10 wt.% to about 90 wt.%, about 35 wt.% to about 65 wt.%, about 40 wt.% to about 60 wt.%, or about 10 wt.% or less of the porous composite block, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 15 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 25 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 35 wt.%, 40 wt.%, 45 wt.%, 50 wt.%, 55 wt.%, 60 wt.%, 65 wt.%, 70 wt.%, 75 wt.%, 80 wt.%, 85 wt.%, or about 90 wt.% or more of the porous composite block.
The porous composite block may have any suitable pore size and porosity such that the block has a desired pressure drop throughout the filtration zone and removes material from the liquid passing therethrough. For example, the porous composite block can have a pore size sufficient to remove material from water passing therethrough that has a largest dimension of 10 microns or greater, 1 micron or greater, or less than, equal to, or greater than 10 microns, 8 microns, 6 microns, 5 microns, 4 microns, 3 microns, 2 microns, 1 micron, 0.5 microns, 0.1 microns, 0.05 microns, or about 0.01 microns or less.
The porous composite block may have a pore size and porosity such that it can filter water at the following flow rates: 0.1L/min to about 1000L/min, or about 1L/min to about 100L/min, or about 0.1L/min or less, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 0.5L/min, 1L/min, 1.5L/min, 2L/min, 2.5L/min, 3L/min, 3.5L/min, 4L/min, 4.5L/min, 5L/min, 6L/min, 7L/min, 8L/min, 9L/min, 10L/min, 12L/min, 14L/min, 16L/min, 18L/min, 20L/min, 30L/min, 40L/min, 50L/min, 60L/min, 70L/min, 80L/min, 90L/min, or about 100L/min or more. The pressure drop may be from 1kPa to about 1000kPa, or from about 20kPa to about 200kPa, or about 1kPa or less, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 10kPa, 20kPa, 30kPa, 40kPa, 50kPa, 60kPa, 70kPa, 80kPa, 90kPa, 100kPa, 125kPa, 150kPa, 175kPa, 200kPa, 225kPa, 250kPa, 300kPa, 400kPa, 500kPa, 600kPa, 800kPa, or about 1000kPa or more. The flow rate and pressure drop may depend on the pressure of the applied water and the amount of fouling of the cake (e.g., by minerals and particulates), and may depend on the pressure of the water.
In various embodiments, the porous composite block can have a bacteria removal capacity, wherein the log reduction value of water passing through the porous composite block (i.e., the log of Colony Forming Units (CFU)/mL in the pre-filtered sample minus the log of CFU/mL in the filtrate sample) is from about 50% to about 100%, or from about 80% to about 100%, or about 50% or less, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 92%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, or about 99.999% or more of the log of CFU/mL of escherichia coli of the pre-filtered sample. The porous composite block can produce a log reduction in water with a prefiltered bacterial concentration of 4.3log CFU/mL (e.g., e.coli) as follows: about 2.2 to about 4.3, or about 2.2 or less, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 3, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 4, 4.1, 4.2, or about 4.3.
Oregoside mediator particles
The porous composite block includes guanylated media particles immobilized within the porous composite. The guanylated media particles may comprise guanidine groups attached directly to atoms of the media particles via siloxane bonds or comprise alkylene linking groups. In some examples, guanylated media particles can be prepared by treating media particles containing-OH or alkoxide groups with an aminohydrocarbylalkoxysilane (e.g., a monoalkoxysilane, dialkoxysilane, or trialkoxysilane, such as a monoalkoxydialkylsilane or dialkoxymonoalkylsilane) to form-O-Si bonds. Guanylated media particles can be uniformly distributed throughout the composite block to allow exposure of water even to guanidine groups during filtration.
The guanylated media particles can be guanylated siliceous media particles comprising guanidine groups attached to the silicon atoms of the siliceous media particles via siloxane bonds or comprising alkylene linking groups. In some examples, guanylated siliceous media particles can be prepared by treating siliceous media particles comprising Si-OH or silanol groups with an aminohydrocarbyl trialkoxysilane to form Si-O-Si bonds.
The guanylated media particles can be any suitable proportion of the porous composite block such that the porous composite block can be used as described herein. The guanylated media particles can be about 0.001 wt% to about 90 wt%, or about 10 wt% to about 65 wt%, about 15 wt% to about 60 wt%, or about 0.001 wt% or less of the porous composite block, or less than, equal to, or greater than about 0.01 wt%, 0.1 wt%, 1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 8 wt%, 10 wt%, 12 wt%, 14 wt%, 16 wt%, 18 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt%, 45 wt%, 50 wt%, 55 wt%, 60 wt%, 65 wt%, 70 wt%, 75 wt%, 80 wt%, 82 wt%, 84 wt%, 85 wt%, 86 wt%, 87 wt%, 88 wt%, or about 90 wt% of the porous composite block.

The metal silicate in amorphous and at least partially molten particulate form can be prepared by: the feed particles (e.g., having an irregular shape or any suitable shape) are melted or softened under controlled conditions to produce generally ellipsoidal or spherical particles (i.e., particles having enlarged two-dimensional images that are generally rounded and free of sharp or pointed edges, including true or substantially circular and ellipsoidal shapes and any other rounded or curved shapes). Such methods include atomization, fire polishing, direct melting, flame melting, and the like. Flame melting can form at least partially melted, substantially glassy particles by direct melting or fire polishing of solid feed particles.
Diatomaceous earth is a natural silica material produced from residues of diatoms, a marine inhabitant microorganism. It is available from natural sources and is also commercially available. The diatomaceous earth particles may comprise small, open silica networks in the form of symmetric cubes, cylinders, spheres, plates, rectangular boxes, and the like. The pore structure in these particles may be substantially uniform. Diatomaceous earth may be used as raw mined material or as purified and optionally milled particles. The diatomaceous earth may be in the form of milled particles. The diatomaceous earth may optionally be heat treated to remove organic residues prior to use.
The surface-modified diatomaceous earth may comprise, on at least a portion of its surface, diatomaceous earth bearing a surface treatment comprising titanium dioxide, iron oxide, gold, platinum, or a combination thereof. The surface treatment agent may include fme-nanoscale gold, fme-nanoscale platinum, a metal oxide (e.g., at least one of titanium dioxide and iron oxide), or a combination thereof.

Perlite is a naturally occurring amorphous volcanic glass that can contain about 70-75% silica and about 12-15% alumina, as well as smaller amounts of other metal oxides, including sodium oxide, potassium oxide, iron oxide, magnesium oxide, and calcium oxide. When perlite is expanded by heating, it forms a lightweight aggregate. The guanylated media particles can be guanylated perlite particles.

The linking group L may be substituted with one or more other guanidine groups, either directly or via another L linking group. One of the remaining bonds on the silicon atom is directly connected to an atom of the medium (e.g., a silicon atom, a metal atom, or another atom that contains an-OH bond prior to guanylation). The other two remaining bonds on the silicon atom may be independently selected to be atoms bonded to the medium (e.g., there may be more than one bond from the silicon atom to the medium), to alkoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, to another guanidine or amine group directly or via an alkylene linker, to-O-Si bonds or-alkyl-O-Si bonds (where the attached silicon atom may be functionalized in the same manner as the silicon atom shown in the structure of the guanidine-functionalized silicon atom), or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, both remaining Si bonds may be bonded to a single oxygen atom to form a Si ═ O bond.
The functionalized silicon atoms may be attached to the media particle via atoms in the media particle that were present in the media particle as-OH bonded atoms prior to guanylation. For example, the functionalized silicon atoms may be attached to the siliceous media particle via silicon atoms in the media particle that were present in the siliceous media particle prior to guanylation.

The resulting guanidine-functionalized perlite particles were isolated by filtration and rinsed with 500mL of methanol. The particles were returned to the flask and treated with 1L of deionized water. After stirring for 45 minutes, the particles were isolated by filtration and washed with an additional 500mL of deionized water.The particles were again returned to the flask and treated with 1L of deionized water. After stirring for 3 days, the particles were isolated by filtration and washed with an additional 500mL of deionized water. The particles were then dried under vacuum at 65 ℃ to give 249g of functionalized particles as a grey powder. As shown in table 2 below, the nitrogen content was 8.1 ± 0.3 atomic percent as measured by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ECSA).

Tubing at the pump head outlet purges air by running the pump at high flow, while raising the tubing and allowing air bubbles to rise and exit the system. The pump tubing was then connected to the camel bak QSM cartridge containing the carbon block. The pump was run at high flow to wet the carbon block and purge the air cartridge. The outlet of the cartridge was connected to a filtrate collector via PVC tubing. The pump stroke length is then set to its minimum level (about 20%) and the stroke frequency is adjusted to provide a flow rate through the cartridge of 20 mL/min. Then will containThe prefiltered solution with E.coli was introduced into the pump inlet.
The pre-filtered solution was pumped through the block holder containing the carbon block using a metering pump with 1/8 "wall thickness PVC tubing (VWR catalog No. 60985-. The spiked water was pumped through the sintered cake matrix at a flow rate of 20 mL/min. The filtrate was collected in a 250mL sterile glass bottle. The first 100mL of filtrate was collected and discarded. The second 100mL of filtrate was collected for further processing.
A second 100mL volume of the filtrate, 10mL, was added to a 100mL flip-top bottle containing Butterfield buffer to obtain a 1:10 dilution. The bottle was capped and mixed manually by shaking for 10 seconds. Remove the 10mL volume and add this volume to another flip-top bottle to obtain a 1:100 dilution. Similarly, the filtrate was further diluted to 1:1000 and 1: 10000. These 100mL diluted filtrates were vacuum filtered through a 0.45 micron filter. Filtration was started from highest dilution to lowest dilution using standard vacuum filtration equipment. For each block, a new holder is used. Between the various samples, the filtration apparatus was rinsed with 500mL of deionized water.
The filters were removed from the apparatus with a sterile tweezer plate and placed on an Endo agar plate with the mesh side up. The plates were incubated at 37 ℃ for 18-20 hours. Colony counts were obtained from the plates by manual counting. The prefiltered sample was also diluted and filtered by the procedure described above. CFU/mL colony counts were converted to log CFU/mL values.
By using the following formula: LRV ═ (log CFU/mL in pre-filtered samples) - (log CFU/mL in filtrate samples), Log Reduction Values (LRV) were calculated based on counts from plated filtrates and pre-filtered samples. The results of the tests are shown in table 4.
