A method for recovering carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream is disclosed. The method includes the step of reacting CO2 in the gas stream with fine droplets of a liquid absorbent, so as to form a solid material in which the CO2 is bound. The solid material is then input to a transporting desorption unit, where a decarboxylation reaction takes place, to release substantially pure CO2 gas. The CO2 gas can then be collected and used or transported in any desired way. The transporting desorption unit includes an upstream section at atmospheric pressure and a downstream section at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, wherein the upstream section and the downstream section are separated by a hydraulic dynamic seal. A related apparatus including the transporting desorption unit for recovering carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream is also described herein.

The present invention relates to an interfacial method of preparing ester-substituted diaryl carbonates. The method includes the steps of: forming a reaction mixture comprising phosgene, an ester-substituted phenol, an organic solvent, and a catalyst selected from the group consisting of a tertiary amine catalyst and a phase transfer catalyst, said reaction mixture having an organic phase and an aqueous phase, wherein said aqueous phase has a brine strength; allowing the reaction mixture to react wherein during the reaction, (i) the aqueous phase has a pH, and the pH is adjusted, if necessary, by the addition of an alkali metal hydroxide solution in amounts such that the pH is greater than or equal to 9.0 during at least some portion of the reaction, and (ii) the brine strength of the aqueous phase is adjusted, if necessary, by varying the concentration of the alkali metal hydroxide solution being added to maintain the pH such that the brine strength is between 15% and a saturated brine solution during at least some portion of the reaction: thereby forming an ester-substituted diaryl carbonate, wherein the reaction mixture is formed with less than 15% water of formulation, and wherein the brine strength is maintained at or above 15% and the pH is maintained at or above 9 for a sufficient portion of the process that the ester-substituted diaryl carbonate is formed with a conversion of at least 90% and a selectivity of at least 98%.

Polymer are removed from organic solvent-polymer mixtures by preparing a liquid-liquid dispersion of finely dispersed solvent droplets containing polymer in water, adding this liquid-liquid dispersion to a stirred vessel containing water or other suitable liquid and rapidly evaporating the solvent to produce a slurry of the polymer in a liquid from which the solid polymer particles are recovered.

Disclosed herein are mounting plates and methods for making an electroforms. In one embodiment, the master comprises an edge, a back, a master area, and a pattern having a pattern area. The mounting plate comprises a cutout having a cutout size that is smaller than the master area and larger than the pattern area, and an electrically conductive over-plate area extending around the cutout, between the cutout and an outer edge of the mounting plate. In one embodiment the method comprises: attaching a master to a mounting plate, masking the edge and the back of the master and portions of the mounting plate that will be exposed to plating material, other than the over-plate area, plating the pattern to form the electroform having an edge thickness, and removing the electroform from the master.

Injection of even very small amounts of supplemental water to the spent-air stream at points upstream from the heat exchanger cooler(s) used in processing spent-air streams from a cumene-to-phenol process allows these heat exchanger coolers to act as both extractors and condensers. It is therefore possible to recover from the heat exchanger cooler a methanol/water condensate, thereby substantially reducing the amount of methanol in the spent-air stream prior to discharge. Thus, known methods for manufacture of phenol from cumene in which an oxygen-containing gas stream is passed through liquid cumene to produce an oxidate product and a spent-air stream comprising methanol and cumene and a saturating amount of water; and in which the spent-air stream is passed through one or more heat exchanger coolers and a carbon bed prior to discharge can be improved.

The present invention is generally directed to core/shell nanoparticles, wherein such core/shell nanoparticles comprise a nanoparticle core and a nanoshell disposed about the nanoparticle core such that, in the aggregate, they form a core/shell nanoparticle that is operable for use as an imaging agent in X-ray/computed tomography (CT). Typically, such core/shell nanoparticle-based X-ray CT imaging agents further comprise a targeting species for targeting the imaging agent to diseased sites. Included herein are methods for forming such agents, comprising forming an ensemble of core/shell nanoparticles, wherein the mean diameter of the ensemble of core/shell nanoparticles is selected so as to render the nanoparticles in the ensemble substantially clearable by a mammalian kidney.
