A process for treating an ionic liquid containing waste stream is described. If there is a liquid waste stream, the liquid waste stream is introduced into a liquid treatment zone. The ionic liquid in the liquid waste stream is neutralized. The concentration of the ionic liquid in the liquid waste stream is determined, and the allowed concentration of the ionic liquid in the liquid waste stream is determined. The concentration of the ionic liquid in the neutralized liquid waste stream is reduced to the allowed concentration, and the liquid waste stream having the allowed concentration is released. If there is a vapor waste stream, the vapor waste stream is introduced into a vapor treatment zone. The vapor waste stream is treated to form a treated vapor waste stream, and the treated vapor waste stream is released to a plant vapor treatment zone.

279 Personal Vaccine and Method of Making US14884415 2015-10-15 US20170106083A1 2017-04-20 Joseph Gerard Birmingham
A method for the creation of a personalized vaccine. Multiple and varied antigens in conjunction with heat shock proteins (and other protein chaperones) are generated by ionized gas lysing coupled with the separation, concentration, and purification of these chaperone protein-antigen complexes (CPAC) using insulator-dielectrophorsis (i-DEP)-based devices. The ionized gas uniquely forms more and varied chaperone proteins and chaperone protein-antigen complexes (CPAC) than prior art mechanical, chemical, electric or other lysing techniques. These CPAC generated by the ionized gas lysis and separated by i-DEP are electrospray-encapsulated by a biodegradeable polymer at the nano particle level to further enhance these personalized vaccines for accelerated immune system uptake. For the first time, sterile eradication of infectious pathogens and cancer (known or unknown to exist in the host) can be accomplished with multiple personalized vaccine treatments.
