摘要:
Apparatus and method for controlling the composition of the atmosphere within a refrigerated container during the storage and/or transportation of perishable and/or respiring produce in which carbon dioxide and ethylene (and other evolved hydrocarbons) are removed from the container atmosphere by adsorption, the adsorptive materials being regenerated with ambient air.
摘要:
A biorejuvenator includes a bio-oil formed from a mixture including a first biomass component and a second biomass component. A nitrogen content of the first biomass component exceeds a nitrogen content of the second biomass component, and a lipid content of the second biomass component exceeds a lipid content of the first biomass component. Preparing the biorejuvenator includes combining a first biomass component and a second biomass component, and co-liquefying the first biomass component and the second biomass component to yield the biorejuvenator. The biorejuvenator can be used as an asphalt modifier in an asphalt composition or as a coating for asphalt pavement.
摘要:
Described herein are systems and methods for the depolymerization of polyethylene-based plastics. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that comprises combining a polyethylene-based plastic with a solvent in a reactor to generate a plastic solvent mixture, heating the plastic solvent mixture in the reactor, and fractionating the plastic solvent mixture into a gas phase product, a solid phase product, and a liquid phase product. In another embodiment, a system is disclosed that comprises a solvent, and a reactor configured to receive the polyethylene-based plastic and the solvent and convert the polyethylene-based plastic into a gas phase product, a solid phase product, and a liquid phase product, the reactor being configured to operate at a temperature greater than 275° C. and at a pressure greater than 2 megapascals.
摘要:
Substantially all of the carbon dioxide is removed from a gas containing up to about 1% by volume carbon dioxide by subjecting the gas to a pressure swing adsorption process using as the adsorbent a single layer of zeolite having a silicon to aluminum atomic ratio in the range of 1.5 to 70. The process is particularly suitable for removing substantially all carbon dioxide and water vapor contained in air prior to subjecting the air to cryogenic distillation.
摘要:
An activated alumina adsorbent used in a PSA air prepurification process for removal of carbon dioxide from the air is thermally regenerated when the carbon dioxide content remaining in the adsorbent following an adsorbent regeneration step of the PSA process reaches a certain level.

摘要:
The present invention provides for methods and compositions for gas separation and purification utilizing a metallo-organic polymer adsorbent in processes for separating carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons from gas streams. The metallo-organic polymer adsorbent composition has the formula: [R(L)n]mMn, wherein R represents an organic spacer selected from the group consisting of an organic cyclic or acyclic compound; L represents a ligation group substituted on the organic spacer selected from the group consisting of carboxylate group, —C(═O)O−; dithiocarboxylate group, —C(═S)S−; and &bgr;-diketonate group, —C(═O)C(R′)═C(—O−)—, wherein R′═H, or an aliphatic or aromatic group; M represents a transition metal or a rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of I to VIIB and VIII metals; m is the oxidation state of transition metal; and n is the number of the ligation group substituted on the organic spacer.
