摘要:
A system for adsorbing a plurality of contaminants from a workstream composed of a first stage open-ended activated carbon monolith adsorber, a second stage open ended activated carbon monolith adsorber downstream of the first stage. The first stage activated carbon has an average pore size that is larger than the average pore size of the second stage activated carbon. A method for removing more than one contaminant from a workstream which involves passing a workstream containing more than one contaminant through a first open ended activated carbon monolith adsorber having a pore size suitable for adsorbing the major portion of the larger size contaminant and for allowing the smaller size contaminant to pass through the monolith, to cause adsorption of the major portion of the larger size contaminant by the activated carbon, while allowing the smaller size contaminant to pass through the first monolith, and thereafter passing the effluent from the first adsorber through a second open ended activated carbon monolith adsorber having a pore size suitable for adsorbing the smaller size contaminant to cause adsorption of the major portion of the smaller size contaminant by the second monolith activated carbon. The adsorbed contaminants can then be desorbed by passing a regenerating stream(s) through the respective monoliths.

The oxide glass or oxide glass-ceramic is preferably transparent and preferably has a strain point of less than 1000° C., a resistivity at 250° C. that is less than or equal to 1016 Ω-cm, and contains positive ions (e.g., alkali or alkaline-earth ions) which can move within the glass or glass-ceramic in response to an electric field at elevated temperatures (e.g., 300-1000° C.). The bond strength between the semiconductor layer (15) and the support substrate (20) is preferably at least 8 joules/meter2. The semiconductor layer (15) can include a hybrid region (16) in which the semiconductor material has reacted with oxygen ions originating from the glass or glass-ceramic.

The invention is directed to a process of purifying metal fluoride materials used to make metal fluoride single crystals suitable for making optical elements used in the transmission of wavelengths below 200 nm, and in particular to a process of purifying such materials by the use of a halogen containing plasma to convert metal oxygenates contaminating the feedstocks used in the preparation of the crystals to metal fluorides. The invention also is directed to a process of growing a metal fluoride single crystal using a crystal growth furnace to carry out the foregoing purification procedure followed by the steps of melting the purified material and cooling it using s selected time and temperature cycle to from a metal fluoride single crystal. The plasmas used in practicing the invention can be derived from a variety of halogenated materials including, for example, fluorocarbons, chlorocarbons, boron trihalides, chlorine, fluorine, xenon difluoride and other gaseous or easily volatilized halogenated substances known in the art.
摘要:
An activated carbon body and method of making the body which involves providing an inorganic substrate, thermosetting resin, and an adsorption enhancing additive which can be sulfur and/or oil which is non-miscible with and non-reactive with the carbon precursor, contacting the inorganic substrate with the carbon precursor and the adsorption enhancing additive to coat the substrate therewith, curing and carbonizing the carbon precursor, and activating the carbon to produce a coating of activated carbon on the substrate and form the activated carbon body. Another method involves forming a mixture of thermosetting resin, adsorption enhancing additive, which can be sulfur, phosphoric acid, and/or the oil, temporary organic binder, optional forming aid, and fillers, shaping the mixture into a body, followed by curing, carbonizing, and activating to produce a shaped body of activated carbon. When sulfur is utilized, a sulfur-carbon bond forms that is characterized by a peak at 165.9 eV when analyzed by Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis.

The method involves providing a combination of a synthetic carbon precursor, and titanium and/or tin silicate, followed by curing, carbonizing, and activating the carbon precursor. The composite is used to purify fluid streams such as water, of pollutants such as VOC's, heavy metals such as lead, and chlorine.
摘要:
An activated carbon body having flow-through channels and method of making the body. The method involves combining and shaping channel-forming material and optionally fugitive pore-forming material and non-fugitive support material, and a crosslinkable resin into a green body and curing the resin. The temperature at which the channel-forming material begins to distort is greater than the curing temperature of the resin. The resin is carbonized and at the same time the channel-forming material is vaporized out to form a carbon body having flow through channels in the configuration of the fugitive material. The carbon body is then activated. Among other shapes the channels can be straight, curved or crisscrossed.
