Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter for binding constituents of a gas stream, comprising a supporting member and a filter layer that is applied to the surfaces of the supporting member. According to the invention, the filter layer comprises the following components: a) a component for physically adsorbing constituents; b) a component for chemically adsorbing constituents; c) a component for dissolving oil constituents, said component containing ionic liquids.
Abstract:
Use of an adsorbent for the removal of liquid, gaseous and/or dissolved constituents from a process stream, where the adsorbent is a porous material is and/or has been incorporated into a porous material at least 30 vol.% of the pores of which is filled with an extraction liquid and where the affinity between the adsorbent and the constituents to be removed exceeds the affinity between said constituents and the extraction liquid.
Abstract:
Methods of making permanently wettable superabsorbent material are provided. The permanently wettable superabsorbent materials made by the method have a floating time less than 30 seconds and cause a reduction in surface tension of saline less than about 30%. The methods involve treating the superabsorbent material with a surfactant solution. A surfactant is used that has at least one functional group that is reactive with the superabsorbent material and at least one non-reactive and hydrophilic functional group. The surfactant is applied to the superabsorbent material when the functional groups on the surface of the superabsorbent material areactivated. Permanently wettable superabsorbent materials, such as fibers, made by the method and disposable absorbent products comprising the permanently wettable superabsorbent material are also provided.
Abstract:
Materials that utilize porous skeleton materials coated with hydrogels to provide an improved, low resistance filtration capability for removal of pathogens, toxins, or other contaminants from a contaminated gas or liquid and an enhanced capacity for binding, sequestering, or catalytic processing of chemical, biological, or molecular substrates.
Abstract:
Disclosed are pellicular materials useful in contact with proteins and as chromatography media. Rigid, inert, hydrophobic, polymeric materials are exposed to a solution comprising a solute defining plural interspersed hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains. The solute molecules adsorb onto the surface of the substrate by hydrophobic - hydrophobic interaction with their hydrophilic domains extending outwardly away from the surface into the solution. The molecules are then crosslinked in place to produce a solvent and pH resistant coating which presents a hydrophilic surface sufficient to mask hydrophobic regions therebeneath. The multidomain adsorbing compounds may comprise reactive groups which subsequently can be derivatized using conventional techniques to produce chromatography materials useful for conducting affinity, size exclusion, cationic exchange, anionic exchange, neutral hydrophobic interaction, and other forms of chromatographic separations.
Abstract:
Impregnated adsorbent for removing radioactive molecules from gas wherein charcoal is impregnated by spraying or other simple techniques with a substituted 1,4-diazabicy clo[2.2.2]octane which is a liquid at atmospheric pressure and a range of normal operating temperatures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for isolating, removing, concentrating, purifying and/or detecting amyloids, amyloidogenic proteins, fragments and/or derivatives thereof, and in particular to a method for the selective capture of amyloids, such as PrP sc . Another aspect of the invention is directed to devices for carrying out these inventive methods.
