CONTINUOUS ION-EXCHANGE APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B01J47/00 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to sorption processes used to treat fluids by continuous ion exchange. Proposed apparatus comprises vessel that accommodates the following devices: device to feed and uniformly distribute treated water over cross-section areas of ionite layer, hydraulic drive of said layer representing a flow of water treated by said apparatus and forced through ionite layer top part to allow continuous circulation in direction opposite the direction of water ion-exchange front, and device to collect and discharge treated water from apparatus. Device to feed and uniformly distribute treated water represents a bundle of filtration elements, spaced apart and integrated with bottom circular chamber that makes, together with apparatus vessel, a space. Device to collect and discharge treated water from apparatus represents an axial bundle of spaced apart filtration elements, partially submerged into ionite layer and, above ionite layer, integrated with top circular chamber that makes, together with apparatus vessel, a space.

EFFECT: higher efficiency, minimum consumption of ionite, simple design.
