Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for adding a lubricating additive to a diesel fuel. In one exemplary embodiment a diesel fuel filter is provided, the diesel fuel filter comprising: a housing having at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening configured to define a flow path therethrough; filter media disposed in the flow path; and an additive cartridge configured to disperse a lubricating additive into diesel fuel passing through the filter.
Abstract:
An improved control scheme is set forth for an adsorption process that removes water and carbon dioxide (CO2) from a feed gas using a hybrid of both temperature swing (i.e. TSA) and pressure swing (PSA) to regenerate the adsorbent. The control scheme comprises adjusting the quantity of heat to be provided by the regeneration gas as a function of temperature data taken within a strategic portion of the water selective adsorbent zone. The strategic portion corresponds to the location for the desired transition from regeneration by temperature swing, to regeneration by pressure swing. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said quantity of regeneration heat is also adjusted as a function of the water content of the feed gas.

Abstract:
An adsorption-desorption material having a high carbon dioxide adsorption-desorption capability, a low pressure loss, a high thermal diffusion efficiency, and high resistance to repeated stresses, e.g., expansion and shrinkage, as well as an adsorption-desorption apparatus including the adsorption-desorption material, is provided. The adsorbent is composed of a three-dimensional network skeleton structure or a structure having three-dimensional network voids, the structure constructed by a compound having a carbon dioxide adsorption-desorption capability. The carbon dioxide adsorption-desorption apparatus is provided with this adsorbent.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an amorphous non-glassy ceramic composition that may be prepared by curing, calcining and/or pyrolyzing a precursor material comprising silicon, a Group III metal, a Group IVA metal, and/or a Group IVB metal.
Abstract:
A method for removing metal ions from a liquid having a wide range of pH levels by treating the liquid with a titanate sorbent, preferably monosodium titanate or amorphous peroxotitanate. In one embodiment, wastewater contaminated with mercury or cadmium may be purified.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of used alumina to reduce the level of inorganic contaminants, such as mercury and arsenic, from waste fluid streams. The invention further provides a process for reducing the level of mercury or arsenic in fluid streams by contacting the fluid stream with used alumina, such as used Claus catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for the removal of biological species, such as Cryptosporidium, from water using aluminum based media which contains surface Al—OH groups.
Abstract:
Provided is an oxygen absorbent containing a mixture (X) of aluminum (A) and aluminum compounds (B), which can be easily wasted and cannot be detected by a metal detector similarly to related art of oxygen absorbents. The oxygen absorbent has an excellent maximum oxygen absorption quantity, in which aluminum can more effectively absorb oxygen.
Abstract:
A sorptive-filtration system for removing at least one of negatively or positively charged ions, complexes or particulates from an aqueous stream. The system includes a) flow formed substantially from at least one of rainfall-runoff or snowmelt-runoff; b) a filter containment communicating with the runoff stream such that at least part of the stream passes through the filter containment; and c) a granular filter media disposed within the filter containment, the filter media having an amphoteric material applied thereto, wherein the amphoteric material comprises a metal selected from at least one of Fe, Al, Mn, or Si.
