Abstract:
A method is presented for removing heavy metal anions from a fluid or gas medium containing metal anions. The method includes providing an adsorbent having deposited therein at least one oxygen-containing compound of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper, and aluminum; and contacting a portion of the medium with the adsorbent. The oxygen-containing compound may be incorporated into the carbon by impregnation or dispersion of a suitable precursor of such a compound. The precursor may be further treated to yield the oxygen-containing compound. Such adsorbents are particularly useful for removing arsenic and/or selenium from the environment and may be used in treating drinking water sources.
Abstract:
An adsorbent for selective adsorption of unsaturated hydrocarbons from its mixture with saturated hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, permanent gases or mixture thereof. The adsorbent includes a silver or copper compound in an amount of 1 to 70 wt % and a substrate in 30 to 99% wt %. Also a method for the manufacture of an adsorbent, which includes impregnating or dispersing a silver (I) or copper (I) compound on a mesoporous substrate or support to form a composite material and subjecting the composite material to heat treatment. Also, a process for separating ethylene and/or propylene from gas mixtures containing them by passing a stream of the gas mixture through a mass of the adsorbent at a temperature from 0° C. to 170° C. and a pressure from 0.1 to 100 atmospheres and releasing the adsorbed ethylene and/or propylene by lowering pressure and/or increasing temperature.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for destroying biological agents such as toxins and bacteria are provided wherein the substance to be destroyed is contacted with finely divided metal oxide or hydroxide nanocrystals. In various embodiments, the metal oxide or metal hydroxide nanocrystals have reactive atoms stabilized on their surfaces, species adsorbed on their surfaces, or are coated with a second metal oxide. The desired metal oxide or metal hydroxide nanocrystals can be pressed into pellets for use when a powder is not feasible. Preferred metal oxides for the methods include MgO, SrO, BaO, CaO, TiO2, ZrO2, FeO, V2O3, V2O5, Mn2O3, Fe2O3, NiO, CuO, Al2O3, SiO2, ZnO, Ag2O, nullCe(NO3)3nullCu(NO3)2nullTiO2, Mg(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, Al(OH)3, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2, Fe(OH)3, Cu(OH)3, Ni(OH)2, Co(OH)2, Zn(OH)2, AgOH, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract:
A process for modifying a medium is disclosed that includes treating a medium having a metal ion sorption capacity with a solution that includes: A) an agent capable of forming a complex with metal ions; and B) ions selected from the group consisting of sodium ions, potassium ions, magnesium ions, and combinations thereof, to create a medium having an increased capacity to sorb metal ions relative to the untreated medium.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an active composite consisting of a compressed support and an active agent. The compressed support comprises a porous support which is chemically inert and is a good thermal conductor, so as to allow complete and rapid interactions between the active agent, dispersed in the support, and a gas flow.
