Composite hollow fiber gas separation membranes with improved permeance and separation layer adhesion are manufactured by providing dipping a hollow fiber membrane substrate in a pre-coat layer coating composition followed by drying to thereby provide a pre-coated substrate and dipping the pre-coated substrate in a separation layer coating composition followed by drying to thereby provide the composite hollow fiber gas separation membranes. The pre-coating composition includes a first polymer dissolved in a first solvent and the separation layer composition includes a second polymer dissolved in a second solvent. The first and second polymers are the same or different, each of the first and second polymers is at least 1 wt % soluble in a same third solvent, the first and second solvents are the same or different, the first and third solvents are the same or different, and the second and third solvent are the same or different.

The present invention discloses polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) composition comprising a polymer selected from PBI or ABPBI and their derivatives or analogues covalently attached to fluorescence moiety selected from poly aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably pyrene or anthracene. Further, the invention discloses a process for preparing said composition with enhanced fluorescence and stability.

The present invention relates to a continuous on-board drying method for Antarctic krill and a continuous on-board processing method of shelled Antarctic krill. The drying method includes the following steps: 1) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; 2) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; 3) hot-air drying; 4) impurity removal by vacuum; 5) cooling to obtain dried krill. The processing method includes the following steps: a) subjecting fishing materials to cleaning, sorting, and dewatering with a vibrating screen; b) rapidly heating the krill to the temperature of up to 70? C. using infra-red rays; c) hot-air drying; d) subjecting the dried krill to shelling treatment to separate shell from meat, to obtain shelled krill; e) impurity removal by vacuum to obtain shelled krill product. The methods in the present invention are highly efficient, energy saving, green and environmental protection, and the krill products have high quality and safety.

The invention relates to a method for separating sialylated oligosaccharides, preferably sialylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), from disaccharides, preferably lactose, produced by a fermentation or enzymatic process.

The disclosure is directed to removal of metal contaminants from fluids, as well as ligand-modified filter materials useful for carrying out such methods. The filters and methods of this disclosure are particularly effective for removal of metals from liquid compositions comprising amines. Such liquid compositions with significantly reduced amounts of metals can be used in a microelectronic manufacturing process, such as liquids for removing photoresist or liquids used in etching. The ligand-modified filters, such as ligand-modified porous membranes, can be configured for use in a microelectronic manufacturing system, which can be utilized in the system as a point of use metal-removal feature for liquids entering the system.
