Abstract:
The present invention describes the process of preparing ceramic materials for absorption of acidic gases, mainly carbon dioxide, in exhaust systems and/or present indoors. Ceramic materials are formed by a mixture of alkali carbonate with alkaline earth metal oxide/hydroxide associated with a binding component, but non-limiting. The alkali carbonate comprises sodium, potassium carbonate, or a mixture of both. The alkaline earth metal oxide/hydroxide may be formed from magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide as well as calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide.
Abstract:
Described herein is a liquid filtration device is disclosed comprising a fluid conduit fluidly connecting a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet; and a water filtration medium disposed in the fluid conduit; the water filter medium comprising a metal-containing particulate, wherein the metal-containing particulate comprises a thermolysis product of a metal salt wherein the salt is selected from nitrogen-containing oxyanions, sulfur-containing anions, chlorides, phosphates, and combinations thereof; and methods of removing chloramines from aqueous solutions.
Abstract:
A method for the producing of an agent for the removal of dissolved phosphorus compounds from water, relying on the formation of the biopolymer metal compound system which is characterized by that, the natural plant fibers are subjected to the activation, subsequently the activated natural plant fibers are coated with biopolymer or derivatives thereof with the ionic character. The natural plant fibers are coated with at least one water-soluble polyvalent metal compound before or after coating the natural plant fibers with biopolymer or derivatives thereof with the ionic character. Such modified natural plant fibers form a composite fibrous material in the form of biopolymer hydrogel support crosslinked in the presence of water-soluble polyvalent metal compound support on the warp from natural fiber.
Abstract:
Sorption media for removal of contaminants from fluid streams are provided. The sorption media comprise an active compound bound or linked to a support substrate or matrix. Support substrates can include iron- and alumina-based materials. A method for making sorption media for the removal of contaminants from fluid streams is also described. The method includes selecting a support substrate, and, optionally, providing a doping mixture comprising an active compound. The selected support substrate can be contacted with the doping mixture to form a doped mixture. The doped mixture can be reacted at a predetermined temperature and atmospheric environment for a predetermined duration to form an active media, wherein the active compound is bound or linked to the support substrate.
Abstract:
A method of constructing a phosphorous adsorbing structure includes creating a design model that indicates a percentage of phosphorous removed from a water supply per an amount of a predetermined adsorbent exposed to the water supply based upon an original concentration of phosphorous in the water supply and a retention time of water in the adsorbing structure.

Abstract:
Sorbents for removal of mercury and other pollutants from gas streams, such as a flue gas stream from coal-fired utility plants, and methods for their manufacture and use are disclosed. Embodiments include brominated sorbent substrate particles having a carbon content of less than about 10%. Other embodiments include one or more oxidatively active halides of a nonoxidative metal dispersed on sorbent substrate particles mixed with activated carbon in an amount up to 30% by weight.
Abstract:
In order to remove fluorine from a zinc containing solution before zinc electro-refining in lower cost, fluorine is removed by adsorption from a zinc containing solution (leached solution) utilizing the character of the predetermined iron compound or zinc compound which can adsorb fluorine in an acid solution and desorb fluorine in an alkaline solution. The fluorine adsorbent/desorbent having adsorbed fluorine is treated in an alkaline solution, to desorb the fluorine. This makes it possible to regenerate the fluorine adsorbent/desorbent. Further, an electrolytic solution for zinc electro-refining can be prepared in lower cost, thus total zinc refining costs can be reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pipette tip which is fitted with a porous organic monolith which is doped with active particles. Due to a unique polymerization method, the extraction tips stay highly permeable which allows sample to pass through the monolithic bed. The extraction tip represents an ideal tool for solid phase extraction, especially for desalting, isolating and purifying biomolecules such as peptides and proteins.
Abstract:
A molded oxygen absorbent composition is composed of a molded product of an oxygen absorbent composition which contains an oxygen absorbing substance, water or moisture, and a swelling component capable of being swelled with water or moisture. The molded oxygen absorbent composition is reduced in its size and excellent in oxygen absorbing property.
