Title: Innovations of Tobias Robert
Introduction
Tobias Robert is an accomplished inventor based in Berlin, Germany. He holds a total of 3 patents that showcase his innovative contributions to the field of science and technology. His work primarily focuses on methods and systems that enhance the properties of water, particularly in terms of ionic strength.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Water with Switchable Ionic Strength." This invention describes a method and system for reversibly converting water between an initial ionic strength and an increased ionic strength using a switchable additive. The disclosed method can be utilized in distillation-free removal of water from solvents, solutes, or solutions. Following the extraction of a solute from a medium by dissolving it in water, the solute can be isolated from the aqueous solution or 'salted-out' by converting the water to a solution with increased ionic strength. The solute then separates from the increased ionic strength solution as a separate phase. Once the solute is decanted off, the increased ionic strength aqueous solution can be converted back to water with its original ionic strength for reuse. Switching from lower to higher ionic strength is achieved using low energy methods such as bubbling with CO, CS, or COS. Conversely, switching from higher to lower ionic strength can be accomplished using methods like bubbling with air, heating, agitating, or introducing a vacuum.
Another significant patent is focused on "Systems and Methods for Use of Water with Switchable Ionic Strength." This invention outlines methods and systems for utilizing switchable water, which can reversibly switch between an initial ionic strength and an increased ionic strength. The applications of this technology include distillation-free removal of water from various mediums, desalination, clay settling, and viscosity switching. Similar to his previous patent, switching between ionic strengths can be achieved through low energy methods.
