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:
The present invention provides compositions including a mixture containing sulfides and/or polysulfides of ammonium, sodium, potassium, lithium, etc., gold and/or compounds of gold, copper and/or compunds of copper, silver and/or compounds of silver, sulfur or potassium tri-iodide, and ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium acetate, ammonium formate, ammonium thiosulfate, ammonium peroxy sulfate, sulfuric acid, zinc chlride, phosphoric acid, or its ammonium and alkali salts and mixtures thereof, and polyhydroxy organic compounds such as glycerol, mono and di saccharides such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, molasses, lactose, polysaccharides and derivatives thereof and mixtures threreof in which the polyhydroxy compound is utilized as a sorbent precursor and the first group of inorganic salt or mixture thereof is utilized to impart the specificity for mercury removal into the said generated sorbent and the second group of inorganic salt or the mixture thereof is utilized as a catalyst to generate the sorbent at low temperatures, say above 200null F. into combustion gases produced from the combustion of fossil and derived fuels, for the removal of mercury and/or other pollutants present in such gases. The polyhydroxy compound alone or in conjunction with the first group of inorganic salt and mixtures thereof mentioned above is also shown effective to generate the special sorbent having the unique properties to remove mercury and/or other pollutants from the said gas stream. The aforementioned composition can be mixed with fly ash, clays of various types, silica, alumina, titania, zirconia or mixtures thereof for the removal of mercury and/or other pollutants present in combustion gas streams. Methods are provided for applying and generating the above mentioned sorbent in the flue gases of fossil and derived fuel fired systems and waste and municipal incinerators for controlling the emissions of mercury and/or dioxin contained in such gas streams.
Abstract:
A material and method for removal of environmental oxyanions (and especially phosphates), the material comprising a substrate such as a clay modified with complexing elements selected from Group IIIB, Group IVB, and lanthanide elements (or a mixture of such elements). The resultant modified substrate can bind oxyanions and make them unavailable for utilisation in the environment; in the case of phosphates, by algae and the like. The method includes forming a capping of material at the sediment/water interface, applying the material in the form of pellets at the sediment/water interface, or injecting the pellets into the sediment.

Abstract:
Adsorbent media are prepared by contacting support material with iron containing solutions, followed by drying to coat the support material with iron. Support materials such as sand and olivine are described. The adsorbent material can be used to remove metal contaminants and natural organic matter from water.
