摘要:
A method for the removal of H2O and CO2 from a gaseous stream comprising H2O and CO2, such as a flue gas. The method initially utilizes an H2O removal sorbent to remove some portion of the H2O, producing a dry gaseous stream and a wet H2O removal sorbent. The dry gaseous stream is subsequently contacted with a CO2 removal sorbent to remove some portion of the CO2, generating a dry CO2 reduced stream and a loaded CO2 removal sorbent. The loaded CO2 removal sorbent is subsequently heated to produce a heated CO2 stream. The wet H2O removal sorbent and the dry CO2 reduced stream are contacted in a first regeneration stage, generating a partially regenerated H2O removal sorbent, and the partially regenerated H2O removal sorbent and the heated CO2 stream are subsequently contacted in a second regeneration stage. The first and second stage regeneration typically act to retain an initial monolayer of moisture on the various removal sorbents and only remove moisture layers bound to the initial monolayer, allowing for relatively low temperature and pressure operation.Generally the applicable H2O sorption/desorption processes may be conducted at temperatures less than about 70° C. and pressures less than 1.5 atmospheres, with certain operations conducted at temperatures less than about 50° C.

The disclosure utilizes a hydroxide sorbent for humidification and CO2 removal from a gaseous stream comprised of CO and CO2 prior to entry into a water-gas-shift reactor, in order to decrease CO2 concentration and increase H2O concentration and shift the water-gas shift reaction toward the forward reaction products CO2 and H2. The hydroxide sorbent may be utilized for absorption of CO2 exiting the water-gas shift reactor, producing an enriched H2 stream. The disclosure further provides for regeneration of the hydroxide sorbent at temperature approximating water-gas shift conditions, and for utilizing H2O product liberated as a result of the CO2 absorption.

A method and apparatus has been provided to locate a subterranian precious ore and/or sulfide body from which mercury gas is emanating. The apparatus includes an inverted plastic drinking cup from which a mercury-free silver wire is suspended from its end. This is accomplished by inserting the end of the wire into a foam insulation disk located in the bottom of the inverted cup. Alternatively, wire may be attached within a cap of a storage vial. The cap has an adhesive on the outer surface which adheres it to the bottom of the cup, whereupon the vial is removed from the cap to expose the wire. A foil disk is placed on the outside of the bottom of the cup. A plurality of cups are buried in the ground forming a dead air space around the wire, for a period of weeks wherein any mercury-vapor in the ground in the area of the cup is adsorbed by the wire. These cups are arranged in a predetermined array and are subsequently located by means of a metal detector which can detect the metal foil on the cups. Upon removal, the wires are placed in a clean vial and refrigerated until such time as the amount of mercury in the wires can be determined. This is accomplished by removing the wires from the vial and vaporizing the mercury by heating the wires to glowing and adsorbing the released mercury-vapor on a gold film in a Jerome Mercury Detector. The amount of mercury adsorbed by the respective wires is indicative of the size and location of the ore body.

An elongated tension member having at least one elastic section. One end of the tension member is anchored to the center coupling pole of a four-wheel farm wagon and the other end of the tension member is connected to the outer end of the steering arm carried by one of the spindle assemblies of the front wheels of the wagon in order to apply a pull on the one steering arm to a first side of the wagon while applying a pull in the opposite direction on the rear end of the coupling pole. Further, a pull in the first direction is also applied to the forward end portion of the associated wagon tongue to which the tie rod for the front wheels of the wagon is secured and thus a thrust in the first direction is applied to the rear end of the towing vehicle to which the forward end of the wagon tongue is secured.
