Provided herein is a cesium adsorbent including: a support modified to have a carboxyl group on a surface thereof; and Prussian blue synthesized on the surface of the modified support, wherein the Prussian blue is at least partially chemically bound with the surface of the support. The cesium adsorbent may effectively adsorb cesium, which is a radioactive element released into the water and may be easily prepared using a simple solution process.

An adsorption bed utilizing Metal Organic Framework canisters to process flue gasses exiting from power generation plants. High temperature flue gas from a power generation is cooled and enters MOF containers where CO.sub.2 is adsorbed. CO.sub.2 is then de-adsorbed with additional high temperature flue gas. CO.sub.2 is collected and removed from flue gas. Electricity is generated using the heat differential and collected to power the device. Electronic control system uses sensors and controls valves, pumps, cooling system and MOF gates.

The invention relates to strong hydrogen-bond acidic sorbents. The sorbents may be provided in a form that limits or eliminates intramolecular bonding of the hydrogen-bond acidic site between neighboring sorbent molecules, for example, by providing steric groups adjacent to the hydrogen-bond acidic site. The hydrogen bond site may be a phenolic structure based on a bisphenol architecture. The sorbents of the invention may be used in methods for trapping or detecting hazardous chemicals or explosives.

A filter media composition includes a ferrihydrite material having an average pore size (BJH) in a range from 1 to 3 nm and a surface area (BET) of at least 200 m.sup.2/g or at least 250 m.sup.2/g or at least 300 m.sup.2/g.

Provided are a water absorption treatment material that can be manufactured at a low cost and in which a clump of used grains can be formed, and a method for manufacturing the same. A water absorption treatment material includes a first grain and a second grain that absorb a liquid. The first grain includes a first core portion and a coating portion. The first core portion has a grain-like shape. The coating portion contains an adhesive material, and covers the first core portion. The second grain includes a second core portion. The second core portion has a grain-like shape. In the second grain, the second core portion is uncovered.

A polymeric polysulfide is disclosed. The polymeric polysulfide is formed by reacting a fatty acid composition comprising at least one unsaturated fatty acid or derivative thereof with sulfur, at a weight ratio between 9:1 and 1:9, under inverse vulcanisation conditions to produce a polymeric polysulfide wherein at least 50% of the fatty acids or derivatives thereof in the fatty acid composition are unsaturated.

The present disclosure relates to hydrocarbon emission control systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to substrates coated with hydrocarbon adsorptive coating compositions, air intake systems, and evaporative emission control systems for controlling evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons from motor vehicle engines and fuel systems.
