Problems solved by technology

As a result, carbon block filters often foul (e.g., become clogged) within a relatively short period after initial exposure to high-sediment feed streams containing sludge, scale, and / or rust

preparation example Construction

[0032] In the preparation of a suitable primary structure, a polymer binder (primary polymer binder) is used to make the individual adsorptive medium particles adhere to each other. The polymer binder can be selected from known polymer materials, including, for example, polyolefins, polyesters, polyethers, polyamides, styrene polymers, cellulose polymers, acrylic polymers, and combinations thereof. Suitable polyolefins include, for example, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, low density polypropylene, high density polypropylene, and combinations thereof. As used herein, the term "ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene" (UHMW PE) means an index average molecular weight (Mn) of about 2×10 6 Grams per mole (g / mol) or greater polyethylene. In some embodiments, the total binder content of the porous composite block according to the present invention is generally between about 5% and about 50% by weight of the aggregate we...

example

[0065] Unless otherwise stated, all parts, percentages, ratios, etc. in the examples and the rest of this specification are by weight.

[0066] Process of preparing porous block

[0067] A weighed amount of activated carbon, binder, and other components (such as lead reduction medium, pore-forming material) are put into a 5 gallon (22L) bucket. Mix the contents of the bucket by rapidly stirring at a rate of about 600 rpm for about 3 minutes. The resultant mixture was filled into a mold (aluminum tube with top and bottom plates and a mandrel), and the mold was fixed to a filling table. The mold is filled while discontinuous vertical displacement of the worktable is made, for example, using a pneumatic percussion device or a hammer. Approximately every two seconds to apply a vertical displacement (or pulse) to the table for about three minutes, or until the material in the mold is completely compacted. The mold is then heated in a convection oven. The heating time depends on the...

example 1

[0092] Use the crushing mixture prepared above to prepare porous composite blocks according to the following recipe:

[0093]

[0094] The porous composite block was molded into a 3.5 inch (8.9 cm) outer diameter x 0.75 inch (1.9 cm) inner diameter. Approximately 90 pounds of force (400N) of compression is applied before heating. The porous composite block was cured at 177°C. After heating and during cooling, a compression of 90 pounds (400N) is applied.

[0095] Test the sediment life of the above block and the chlorine reduction efficiency and capacity.

[0096] Evaluate the life of the sediment through the life gram test. The influent water will be doped with A4 fine test dust. The lifetime grams are reported as the grams of dust passing through the porous composite block until the pressure drop rises to 35 psi (0.24 MPa) above the initial pressure drop. The life span of this block is 1928 grams and the test lasts for 43,800 gallons (166kL). The average reduction in turbidity...

Abstract

A porous composite block includes a plurality of primary structures bonded to one another. Each primary structure comprises adsorptive media particles bonded together by a polymeric binder. A filter assembly including the porous composite block, and a method of making the porous composite block are also disclosed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention broadly relates to porous composite blocks, filter products using such porous composite blocks, and methods for preparing porous composite blocks. Background technique [0002] Porous composite blocks including absorbent materials are suitable as filter media for the treatment of liquid feed streams, such as in water treatment applications. For example, one type of porous composite block, the carbon block filter includes activated carbon particles bound together by a polymer binder material. Polyolefin materials such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) can act as adhesives. Carbon block filters provide treatment capabilities comparable to and often superior to loose carbon particles when used to remove organic contaminants from water. In addition, the carbon block filter is densely constructed and can be disposed of with reduced confusion often associated with the disposal of loose carbon particle layers. [0003] Th...
