Abstract:
A dolomite-based adsorbent for heavy metal, halogen and metalloid is half-fired dolomite, and a content of a residual CaMg(CO3)2 phase in the half-fired dolomite, which is analyzed using a Rietveld method by means of powder X-ray diffraction, is 0.4≦x≦35.4 (wt %), and preferably, the dolomite-based absorbent for heavy metal, halogen and metalloid further comprises ferrous sulfate.
Abstract:
A method for the synthesis of molybdenum disulphide foam wherein the porosity of the foam can be controlled. The porosity of the foam is employed to adapt the foam to various processes and specific requirements. The foam molybdenum disulphide structures have internal cavities are interconnected to create a large processing surface area
Abstract:
An adsorbent for carbon dioxide may include a composite metal oxide including a divalent first metal (M1), a trivalent second metal (M2), and an element (A) with an electronegativity of about 2.0 to about 4.0. The composite metal oxide may have an amorphous structure. A method of manufacturing the adsorbent for carbon dioxide and a capture module for carbon dioxide including the adsorbent for carbon dioxide are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An adsorbent for carbon dioxide may include a mesoporous inorganic oxide having a crystalline halide of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal supported thereto and a chemical species containing phosphorous (P), sulfur(S), or boron (B) supported thereto.
Abstract:
Metal sorbent compositions for removing a metal contaminant from a fluid, such as removal of mercury from a coal-fired flue gas stream, and methods for making and using the same are provided. The subject metal sorbent compositions comprise an effective amount of an aqueous dispersion of microfine elemental sulfur particles on an adsorbent substrate, and optionally, a metal capture enhancing agent such as a halogen source and/or an oxidizing agent in an amount providing a metal capture enhancing effect on the metal sorbent composition. The subject metal sorbent compositions are prepared by drying an aqueous dispersion of microfine elemental sulfur particles on an adsorbent substrate, such as on a substrate of microfine particles of a refractory material and the like. Also provided are kits for use in preparing the subject compositions, and compositions produced by the methods. The subject compositions, kits and systems find use in a variety of different applications.
Abstract:
An adsorbent suitable for heavy metal absorption is described, comprising a thiol-functionalised support containing a stabilising amount of an alkaline metal reacted with said thiol functionality. The adsorbent may be used to remove heavy metals e.g. mercury and/or arsenic, from wastewater streams such as produced water or flue gas scrubber waters.
Abstract:
Sorbent bodies comprising activated carbon, processes for making them, and methods of using them. The sorbent bodies can be used to remove toxic elements from a fluid, such as from a gas stream. For instance, the sorbent bodies may be used to remove elemental mercury or mercury in an oxidized state from a coal combustion flue gas.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the elimination of heavy metals, in particular mercury and possibly arsenic and lead, present in a dry or moist gaseous effluent (1) by means of a capture mass (2) comprising a porous support at least part of which is of low mesoporosity and an active phase based on sulphur. The invention is advantageously applicable to the treatment of gas of industrial origin, synthesis gas or natural gas.
Abstract:
A flow-through substrate comprising a sulfur-containing compound distributed throughout the flow-through substrate structure. The flow-through substrate may be used, for example, in the removal of a heavy metal from a fluid such as a gas stream.
