The world of industrial innovation has a new development to report. A patent has been filed for a new technology in the field of water treatment. The invention, titled “Bubble Column for Catalytic Ozonation with Thin-Film Heterogeneous Catalyst,” was registered under application number P.445362 on June 27, 2023.
A bubble column is a key component in many industrial processes, used to mix gases with liquids. This new invention represents a breakthrough in the field of industrial wastewater treatment, particularly for wastewater contaminated with chemicals and dyes, which are difficult to remove using traditional methods.
The patent application describes a technology that utilizes catalytic ozonation with a thin-film heterogeneous catalyst, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the treatment process. This innovation allows the column to achieve a higher level of wastewater treatment by evenly distributing ozone and efficiently mixing it with the liquid. The use of a thin-film catalyst facilitates a more intense ozonation reaction, leading to more effective removal of contaminants.
The innovative aspect of this technology lies in its ability to convert harmful substances into less harmful compounds while maintaining efficiency and process control. The bubble column can be used in various industries, especially where effective wastewater treatment is required with minimal environmental impact.
Patent application P.445362 is evidence of the growing need for innovation in environmental protection and sustainable technologies. It represents a significant step forward in the field of water purification and opens up new opportunities for companies seeking effective solutions in this area.
