Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If a single adsorbent resin system is used for purification, then the stability of hydrogen peroxide is improved, but the removal efficiency of organic carbon and cations is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The purification system is segmented into multiple stages: a primary purification system using an adsorbent resin to remove organic carbon and cations, followed by a secondary purification system using electrodeionization to remove remaining impurities. This segmentation allows each stage to specialize in removing specific types of impurities, achieving both high stability and high purity that a single system cannot accomplish alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If electrodeionization system is used without prior adsorbent resin treatment, then purification is achieved, but the performance and stability of the electrodeionization system deteriorates rapidly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The adsorbent resin treatment is performed as a preliminary action before the electrodeionization process. The adsorbent resin pre-removes organic carbon and cations from the crude hydrogen peroxide, preparing the feedstock for electrodeionization. This preliminary action prevents the electrodeionization system from being overwhelmed by high concentrations of organic impurities, thereby maintaining its performance and stability over time.
