    摘要: Oxygen carriers for chemical looping and scalable methods of preparation thereof. Wet impregnation of active metal precursors into porous substrates, together with selective adsorption of the precursors on the pore surfaces, enables transition metal oxides derived from the precursors to disperse throughout the substrate, even at the nanoscale, without increased sintering or agglomeration, thereby forming oxygen carriers suitable for chemical looping. The porous substrate can be an oxide, for example SiO2. The oxygen carriers can comprise relatively large oxide loadings of over about 20 wt. % and exhibit high reactivity over many regeneration cycles with substantially no loss in oxygen transport capacity or decrease in kinetics. The use of multiple transition metal oxides, for example NiO in addition to CuO, can greatly enhance chemical looping performance.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method of recovering a metal and/or a metal ion from a liquid to be treated, by use of a monolith adsorbent, and a novel method of regenerating an adsorbent used in the method of recovering a metal and/or a metal ion from a liquid to be treated, and, in order to achieve the object, the present invention provides a method of recovering a metal and/or a metal ion, the method including the following steps of:



    (1) preparing for a solution containing a metal and/or a metal ion;
    (2) preparing for an adsorbent having a co-continuous structure formed by: a ceramic skeleton including mesopores; and macropores, wherein a surface of the ceramic skeleton is modified by a metal- and/or metal ion-adsorbable functional group, a most frequent pore diameter of the macropores before modification by the functional group is 0.20 μm or more and 4.0 μm or less, and a most frequent pore diameter of the mesopores before modification by the functional group is 2.0 nm or more and 50 nm or less;
    (3) contacting the solution and the adsorbent;
    (4) contacting the adsorbent subjected to step (3) and an acidic solution; and
    (5) recovering the metal and/or the metal ion from the acidic solution subjected to step (4).

    摘要: The Level A hazardous material suit is designed to provide the maximum amount of protection to the individual from any substances that may irritate the skin, eyes, or respiratory systems. The Level A suit completely encapsulates the individual and provides a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent respiratory irritants. As the person breathes and perspires within the suit, moisture accumulates within the suit and obscures the vision of the individual using the suit. This moisture will obscure the vision of the person and force the individual to leave the area. This application uses a moisture absorbing material such as silica gel to absorb this moisture to allow a more efficient use of the suit.
