Wastewater treatment process using core-shell particles
The present invention relates to a method of treating inorganic and organic compounds in wastewater, such as leachate. The treatment method involves the use of a amphiphilic particles that consist of hydrophobic cores and amine-containing polymer shells. The method of making the particles and their structures are such that the particles have diameters in the range of 100 to 500 nm and they may be used multiples of times more in treating wastewater, through the process of regenerating the particles.

Title: Wastewater treatment process using core-shell particles
Usefulness: Wastewater treatment process using core-shell particles
Summary: For treatment of inorganic and organic compound in the wastewater such as leachate, derived from an industry selected from textile manufacturing, paper and paper products manufacturing, raw chemical materials, chemical products manufacturing, leather, fur, feather products manufacturing, coal mining and coal washing, petroleum and natural gas extraction, ferrous metal ore mining and ferrous metal ore processing, non-metal ore mining, agricultural food processing, food manufacturing, beverage manufacturing, tobacco manufacturing, textile wearing apparel, footware, cap manufacturing, timber processing, wood, bamboo, rattan, palm and straw manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, media printing and reproduction, articles for culture, education and sport activity manufacturing, processing of petroleum, coking, processing of nuclear fuel, medicine manufacturing, chemical fiber manufacturing, rubber manufacturing, plastic manufacturing, non-metallic mineral product manufacturing, ferrous metal smelting and pressing, non-ferrous metal smelting and pressing, metal product manufacturing, general purpose machinery manufacturing, special purpose machinery manufacturing, transport equipment manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, communication equipment, computer and electronic equipment manufacturing, measuring instrument manufacturing, artwork manufacturing, waste disposal and recycling, electric power and heat power production and distribution, gas production and distribution, and water production and distribution (claimed).
Novelty: Method to treat inorganic and organic compounds in wastewater e.g. leachate involves mixing wastewater with amphiphilic core-shell particles, separating and regenerating particles and mixing the particles with subsequent wastewater batch
