Abstract:
The present invention provides a solid adsorbent comprising at least two metals located upon a support wherein at least one first metal is copper and at least one second metal is cerium and a process for reducing the sulphur content of a crude oil distillate feed containing sulphur species which process comprises contacting said distillate with the solid adsorbent to produce a sulphur containing adsorbent and a distillate product of reduced sulphur content.
Abstract:
A device for purifying a sample is provided, and includes ion-exchange particles in contact with a substrate. The device can include size-exclusion material and an ion-exchange material.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide high-function water that, when used as water for assisting the purification of water for feeding ornamental fish or edible fish and shellfish, increases the bioactivity of water containing fish and shellfish, provides an enhanced tank purification function, and extends the cleaning cycle. Fine active carbon particles are pre-dispersed in high-pressure water, and a gaseous mixture of oxygen and hydrogen is combusted in this high-pressure water to burn the active carbon using the combustion gas. The resultant dispersed active carbon solution in which ultra-fine active carbon particles are dispersed is then used as water for assisting the purification.
Abstract:
An adsorbent for cardiac glycoside contained in body fluid, comprising a compound having a log P value of at least 6 immobilized on a water-insoluble carrier is provided. A process for adsorbing and removing cardiac glycoside contained in body fluid efficiently, which comprises contacting body fluid with this adsorbent for cardiac glycoside is provided.
Abstract:
Inorganic ion exchange materials for the separation of 90Y from 90Sr include clinoptilolite, potassium titanosilicate pharmacosiderite, sodium titanosilicate and sodium nonatitanate. These materials are suitable for making a 90Y generator that contains 90Sr immobilized on an ion exchange column of the materials. The materials have a very high selectivity for 90Sr, a very low selectivity for 90Y, good radiation and thermal stability, low toxicity, fast reaction kinetics, and can be readily and reproducibly synthesized. A method is thus provided for eluting 90Y from the ion exchange material with an aqueous solution to obtain a carrier-free solution of 90Y.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to mixtures of various adsorption materials, whose adsorption properties supplement one another in the mixture.
Abstract:
A kit for purifying water comprises a first container for receiving untreated water, and a second container for receiving purified water and having a dispensing spigot. A water purification composition, when mixed with water in the first container, produces partially purified water having solid matter. A first filter held in a filter holder at an upper end of the second container removes the solid matter when the partially purified water is poured from the first container. A second filter in the second container comprises carbon.
Abstract:
A method for separating a lactone-containing high-molecular weight compound comprising subjecting a mixture of a lactone-containing high-molecular weight compound having, as its side-chain, at least one of a lower alkenyl group and a lower alkoxy group and its analogous compound(s) to either one or both steps in any order of a step (A) for adsorbing the mixture to a nonionic adsorption resin and eluting with an aqueous solvent containing silver ions, and a step (B) for adsorbing the mixture to a basic active alumina and eluting with an organic solvent to separate each of the compounds.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge is described for use in a system to remove impurities from the air. The cartridge has a filter section which may provide tortuous air flow channels between an inlet and an outlet of the filter section. The filter section may be formed from a pair of adjoined sheets with at least one of the sheets having an internally directed raised pattern thereon. This raised pattern spaces the adjoined sheets. The adjoined sheets may be rolled-up into a spiral shape and are positioned in the cartridge with said sheets paralleling an air flow direction through said filter section. It is also contemplated that the raised pattern of the adjoined sheets provide linear air flow channels but ones which are less than three millimeters in height. Alternatively, the filter section may comprise an open pore sponge or foam. The cartridge may be provided with an inlet closure plate having openings therein so as to impart turbulence to incoming air.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling water and/or oxygenate concentrations of an olefin stream. The method includes contacting the olefin stream with a liquid absorbent. The liquid absorbent is selected from the group consisting of a polyol, amine, amide, nitrile, heterocyclic nitrogen containing compound, and mixtures thereof.
