Disclosed herein is a field replaceable multifunction cartridge for the conversion of composite high molecular weight hydrocarbon vapors, extracted from homogenous or heterogeneous, segregated or unsegregated, wet or dry, unclean miscellaneous multi-feed waste input, to produce low molecular weight fractions of industriously combustible fuel products through catalytic cracking. The multifunction cartridge system is constructed in a modular fashion is capable of performing the catalytic, cleaning and scrubbing functions through the temperature range ranging from ambient to 500 C., owing to the high mechanical strength, low coefficient of expansion, resistance to thermal fatigue etc.

Improvements introduced in adsorption filter for inhaled halogenated anesthetics for cardiopulmonary bypass. It relates to an adsorption filter (10) of the type pertaining to the field of medical devices, more specifically, used to adsorb inhaled halogenated anesthetics that are eliminated through the output of the membrane oxygenators (20) of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (CPB); said filter (10) contains a hollow reservoir (11) for preservation of adsorber elements (ED) of the activated charcoal type (30), said reservoir (11) being of tubular cylindrical form, and it receives on one of the free extremities (11a) a cover (12) whose internal diameter (d1) is greater than the external diameter (d2) of the cylindrical reservoir (11), so as to produce an access chamber (C1) for the input of the inhaled anesthetic (Al) that, in turn, penetrates through a tubular member (12a) in the central portion of the cover (12), where a tube (Tb1) for connection with the oxygenator device (20) is installed, said tube (Tb1) allowing the input of the gas (Al) into the filter (10) for decontamination; on the same extremity (11a) and in the peripheral wall (11b) are made openings (11c) intended for the input of the inhaled anesthetic (Al) after input in the chamber (C1), initiating the ingression in the chamber (C2) of the cylinder (11) endowed with adsorber element (ED).

A control apparatus for controlling a gas purification apparatus includes a circuit configured to control to depressurize a pressure inside a compressor configured to compress a gas. The gas purification apparatus includes the compressor, a first adsorption part configured to include a first adsorbent which adsorbs impurities mixed in the gas, a second adsorption part configured to include a second adsorbent which adsorbs the impurities, and a valve provided on a pipe connecting the compressor, the first adsorption part, and the second adsorption part. The circuit is further configured to control the valve so that the second adsorbent adsorbs the impurities desorbed from the first adsorbent in a case that a pressure inside the compressor is depressurized, to regenerate the first adsorption part.

This invention relates to modified MOF materials, methods of preparing them and processes using them. A modified MOF of the invention is modified by impregnating a MOF with an inorganic metal salt. The starting MOF contains at least one linker or ligand which contains an aryl amino group as part of its structure. These modified MOFs are able to adsorb either basic or acidic toxic industrial compounds (TIC). The modified MOFs can be used to remove TICs from various gaseous streams such as air.

Systems and methods are provided for conversion of polymers (such as plastic waste) to olefins and/or feedstocks that can be further processed for formation of olefins, fuels, and/or other products. The systems and methods can include an optional thermal dehalogenation stage followed by an initial pyrolysis stage where a plastic feedstock is at least partially converted to lower boiling products. Prior to, during, and/or after the pyrolysis stage, one or more contaminant removal stages can be used in order to reduce the content of halides and/or other contaminants in the pyrolysis effluent. This can allow at least a portion of the pyrolysis effluent, such as a gas phase portion and/or a liquid phase portion of the pyrolysis effluent, to have a sufficiently low contaminant content to be used as part of a feed to a conventional petrochemical process.

A method to produce a halogen-depleted gas is described. The method providing a gas derived from and/or including a source of biogas, mixing said gas with a source of hydrogen to produce a processed gas mixture including an acid, and separating said acid from said processed gas mixture. Sulfur, oxygen, carbon dioxide removal processes are integrated into the method. Production of secondary products, and removal thereof, are included. Pre and post processing may be integrated, and production of products is described.

Processes and apparatuses for regenerating catalysts used in a hydrocarbon conversion process. The catalyst is separated into a bypass portion and an adsorption portion. The bypass portion is passed to a regeneration zone where coke may be removed. A vent gas from the regeneration zone may include an active additive from the catalyst, like a halogen. The vent gas is sent to an adsorption zone which also receives the adsorption portion. In the adsorption zone, the catalyst will contact and adsorb the active additive and then pass to the regeneration zone. The amount of active additive in the vent gas from the regeneration zone and the adsorption zone is reduced.

A hydrogen gas supply apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a compressor configured to compress hydrogen gas and supply the hydrogen gas compressed to a pressure accumulator which accumulates the hydrogen gas, an adsorption column disposed between the discharge port of the compressor and the pressure accumulator, and configured to include an adsorbent for adsorbing impurities in the hydrogen gas discharged from the compressor, and a plurality of valves disposed at the gas inlet/outlet port side of the adsorption column, being at a discharge port side of the compressor, and configured to be able to seal the adsorption column, wherein the space in the adsorption column is sealed using the plurality of valves such that the inside of the adsorption column is maintained to have a high pressure by the hydrogen gas compressed in the case where the compressor is stopped.
