Multi-fiber, fiber optic cable assemblies may be configured so that the terminal ends of the cables have pre-assembled back-post assemblies that include pre-assembled ferrules, such as MPO ferrules that meet the requisite tolerances needed for fiber optic transmissions. To protect the pre-assembled components from damage prior to and during installation, pre-assembled components may be enclosed within a protective housing. The housing with pre-assembled components may be of a size smaller than fully assembled connectors so as to be sized to fit through a conduit. The remaining connector housing components for the multi-fiber connectors may be provided separately and may be configured to be attached to the back-post assembly after installation of the cable.

A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

Compositions and methods for the selective sequestration of metal ions are generally described.

The present disclosure provides a method of separating Mo-99 from W-187 from a solution comprising Mo-99 and W-187. The method comprises contacting a tridentate diglycolanude ligand with a solution comprising Mo-99 and W-187 and eluting W-187 from the tridentate diglycolanude ligand to thereby an eluate comprising W-187.

Methods of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting a CO.sub.2 containing gaseous stream with an aqueous medium under conditions sufficient to produce a bicarbonate rich product. The resultant bicarbonate rich product (or a component thereof) is then combined with a cation source under conditions sufficient to produce a solid carbonate composition and product CO.sub.2 gas, followed by injection of the product CO.sub.2 gas into a subsurface geological location to sequester CO.sub.2. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.

A method of adsorption allows separation of a first fluid component from a fluid mixture comprising at least the first fluid component in an adsorptive separation system having a parallel passage adsorbent contactor with parallel flow passages having cell walls which include an adsorbent material. The method provides for transferring heat from the heat of adsorption in a countercurrent direction along at least a portion of the contactor during adsorption and transferring heat in either axial direction along the contactor and/or a direction transverse to the axial direction, to provide at least a portion of the heat of desorption during a desorption step. A carbon dioxide separation process to separate carbon dioxide from flue gas also includes steps transferring heat from adsorption or for desorption along the parallel passage adsorbent contactor.

Sorbent compositions, comprising a solid sorbent, a dispersive agent, and optionally a capture agent for enhanced wet-Flue Gas Desulfurization (wFGD) or wet scrubber unit function in a flue gas pollutant control stream is disclosed. The sorbent composition may include a sorbent with a dispersive agent, designed to enhance the dispersion of the sorbent in an aqueous sorption liquid of a wet scrubber unit, and therefore may be especially useful in EGU or industrial boiler flue gas streams that include one or more wet scrubber units. The sorbent composition may also include a capture agent useful in sequestering mercury and bromine, as well as other contaminants that may include arsenic, selenium and nitrates.

A reduction device, an acid gas recovery device, a recovery device collector, and a first removed substance returning line are provided. The reduction device is configured to perform a reduction process to turn iron oxide to reduced iron by adding a reducing agent. The acid gas recovery device is configured to recover CO.sub.2 being acid gas with CO2 absorbing liquid being acid gas absorbing liquid from exhaust gas containing at least powder-shaped iron-based solid substances and the acid gas, which are discharged from the reduction device. The recovery device collector is configured to collect the iron-based solid substance contained in the absorbing liquid with a filter. The iron-based solid substances collected by the recovery device collector are removed, and removed substances containing the removed iron-based solid substances are returned to the reduction device side through the first removed substance returning line.

A system for detecting and cleaning air pollution in indoor space with heating, ventilation and air conditioning includes one or more outdoor gas detection devices, several indoor gas detection devices, several filtering devices, and a central controller. The central controller receives air pollution data detected by the gas detection devices, by connecting to a cloud device, performs an intelligent computation and comparison on the air pollution data to locate an air pollution location, and the cloud device transmits a control command intelligently and selectively to the central controller. Therefore, according to the control command, the central controller controls the air conditioning modulation mechanism of one or more HVAC components and enables the filtering devices to generate a directed air convection, thereby achieving the filtration of the air pollution to allow the indoor air pollution data to be a safety detection value.
