The invention describes a mass for scavenging mercaptans which is particularly suitable for the treatment of olefinic gasoline cuts containing sulfur such as gasolines resulting from catalytic cracking. The scavenging mass comprises an active phase based on group VIII, IB or IIB metal particles which is prepared by a step of bringing a porous support into contact with a metal salt of said group VIII, IB or IIB metal and a step heating the resulting mixture to a temperature above the melting point of said metal salt. The invention also relates to a process for using said scavenging mass for the adsorption of mercaptans.

A porous activated asphaltene material is described with a method of making and a method of using for the adsorption of a contaminant from a solution. The porous activated asphaltene material may be made by functionalizing solid asphaltene with nitric acid, and then treating the product with a metal hydroxide. The resulting porous activated asphaltene material exhibits a high porosity, and may be cleaned and reused for adsorbing contaminants.

A system for the treatment of a liquid plastic-derived oil having a pretreating section that includes a pretreating system having one or more reactors that may receive the liquid plastic-derived oil having one or more contaminants and a first contamination level. The one or more reactors includes a sorbent material having a faujasite (FAU) crystal framework type zeolitic molecular sieve and that may remove a first portion of the one or more contaminants from the liquid plastic-derived oil and generate a treated liquid plastic-derived oil having a second contamination level that is less than the first contamination level. The liquid plastic-derived oil is derived from a solid plastic waste (SPW), and the first portion of the one or more contaminants includes a halogen.

The present invention relates to a chitosan-titanium composite, a preparation method and use thereof, and more particularly, a chitosan-titanium composite capable of effectively adsorbing and desorbing .sup.68Ge/.sup.68Ga by combining small molecular chitosan with titanium metal oxide to increase adsorption reactivity to .sup.68Ge and .sup.68Ga desorption reactivity, and a preparation method and use thereof.

Disclosed are a functional material for synchronously stabilizing multiple metals and a preparation method thereof, and a method for rehabilitating soil or wastewater contaminated by heavy metals (metalloids). The preparation method includes: mixing a ferrous salt, a ferric salt, a manganous salt, water, a dispersing material, and a phosphate to obtain a first mixture, and subjecting the first mixture to a first precipitation reaction to obtain a first reaction mixture containing the phosphate; adjusting a pH value of the first reaction mixture containing the phosphate to 10-12 by adding an alkali thereto to obtain a second mixture, subjecting the second mixture to a second precipitation reaction to obtain a second reaction mixture; and subjecting the second reaction mixture to a solid-liquid separation to obtain a solid, washing the solid, and drying to obtain the functional material for synchronously stabilizing multiple metals.
