A method for recovering an acidic gas, includes: a step of bringing a gas to be treated that contains an acidic gas into gas-liquid into contact with an amine absorbing solution, allowing the amine absorbing solution to absorb the acidic gas, thereby removing the acidic gas from the gas to be treated; a step of allowing the amine absorbing solution that has absorbed the acidic gas to release the acidic gas, thereby regenerating the amine absorbing solution, and at the same time, recovering the released acidic gas; and an analysis step of calculating concentrations of iron ions and/or heavy metal ions in the amine absorbing solution.

Adsorptive media for chromatography, particularly ion-exchange chromatography, derived from a shaped fiber. In certain embodiments, the functionalized shaped fiber presents a fibrillated or ridged structure which greatly increases the surface area of the fibers when compared to ordinary fibers. Also disclosed herein is a method to add surface pendant functional groups that provides cation-exchange or anion-exchange functionality to the high surface area fibers. This pendant functionality is useful for the ion-exchange chromatographic purification of biomolecules, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

Hybrid sorbent on the base of anion-exchange polymeric matrix with HFO for selective sorption of arsenic characterized in that, HFO exists in matrix as particles, which at most are amorphous ferrihydrite, fraction of which is not less than 80%, preferably more than 90% from total mass of HFO. The object of the invention and the technical result achieved with the use of the invention is to develop new hybrid sorbent with HFO with increased sorption kinetics of two arsenic forms As(III) and As(V) simultaneously.

The present invention is a solid lubricant treatment medium, usually but not always in bead form, suitable to be brought into contact with lubricants to remediate and to condition them. A key feature of the medium, typically a polymeric resin, is the presence of relatively very large pores, which are able to capture and remove fine lubricant contaminants and breakdown products (such as small phosphate ester varnish, soot, coke, dissolved metal or other small semi-soluble or insoluble particles), Resins and adsorbents of the prior art have proven unable to remove fine contaminants like phosphate ester varnish that have a deleterious impact on industrial equipment performance and reliability. The mean pore size diameter of the medium is between about 8,000 Å and 100,000 Å and, more preferably, in the range of about 20,000 Å to about

A porous polymer monolith comprises a polymer body having macroporous through-pores that facilitate fluid flow through the body and an array of mesopores adapted to bind from the fluid flow molecules of a predetermined range of sizes, wherein the surface area of the monolith is predominantly provided by the mesopores. Also disclosed is a method of making a porous polymer monolith. The method includes forming a polymer body by phase separation out of a solution containing at least a monomer, a crosslinker and a primary porogen, whereby the body contains multiple macroporous through-pores, wherein the solution further contains a secondary porogen comprising oligomers inert with respect to the monomer and cross-linker but chemically compatible with the monomer so as to form mesostructures within the polymer body during said phase separation, and washing the mesostructures from the body to provide an array of mesopores such that the surface area of the monolith is predominantly provided by the mesopores.
