An anion exchange resin includes a cross-linked polymer having a plurality of pseudo +2 point charges including dicationic groups. The dicationic groups include a first cationic group and a second cationic group, and a distance between the first cationic group and the second cationic group is from about 1 Angstrom to about 10 Angstroms.

Disclosed is a method of sequentially separating and recovering one or more NGLs (129, 229) from a natural gas feedstream (3). Specifically, a raw natural gas feedstream (3) is passed through two or more NGLs separation unit (100, 200) wherein each separation unit removes one or more NGLs from the natural gas feedstream to provide a methane-rich natural gas supply (205). Each separation unit employs an adsorption media and has an adsorption step and a media regeneration step wherein the regeneration step may be operated as a batch process, a semi-continuous process, or a continuous process. One embodiment of this method provides for the use of a different regenerable adsorbent media in each separation unit.

The present application focuses on systems and methods that utilize one or more carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) sorbent substrates and a swing cycle, e.g., a moisture swing cycle, to increase the partial pressure of the CO.sub.2 in a gaseous feedstock, which is delivered through a membrane to a bioreactor, such as a membrane carbonation photobioreactor. Such systems and processes offer an effective means for concentrating and capturing CO.sub.2 obtained from air and delivering the concentrated CO.sub.2 to a photobioreactor through a membrane.

A multi-layer filter material for an interior air filter element of an air conditioning system of a vehicle may include an active layer having a plurality of non-impregnated activated carbon particles, an impregnation layer having a plurality of impregnated activated carbon particles, and an ion exchange layer having a plurality of ion exchanger particles. The active layer may be arranged between the ion exchange layer and the impregnation layer. The active layer may further include a first ash content and the impregnation layer may further include a second ash content. The first ash content in the active layer may be less than the second ash content in the impregnation layer.

An absorption-type carbon dioxide removal/condensing apparatus is removes or condenses carbon dioxide so that the apparatus secures high recovery efficiency. The apparatus has a honeycomb rotor holding a carbon dioxide absorbent, which is divided into at least a processing zone and a reproduction zone. After anyone of reproduction air for heating and a processing air is humidified by a humidifying device, both airs are ventilated into the zones, respectively. Thereby, the apparatus can improve absorption performance and density performance. If the honeycomb rotor is further divided into at least first and second processing zones, an air to be processed is humidified by a humidifier to ventilate into the first processing zone, and then a portion or all of the processing air which passed through the first procession zone is passed through the second procession zone (second pass).

Provided are a hygroscopic material having a transparent base material, a upper layer including a vinyl acetate resin, and a hygroscopic layer which is arranged between the base material and the upper layer to be adjacent to the upper layer and includes a moisture-absorbing agent which is an inorganic salt, and a resin, a method for producing the same, and a packaging material.

The present disclosure is directed to a high temperature method to adsorb carbon dioxide onto an ion-exchange resin and/or regenerate the carbon dioxide-loaded ion-exchange resins.

A method and apparatus for extracting CO.sub.2 from air comprising an anion exchange material formed in a matrix exposed to a flow of the air, and for delivering that extracted CO.sub.2 to controlled environments. The present invention contemplates the extraction of CO2 from air using conventional extraction methods or by using one of the extraction methods disclosed; e.g., humidity swing or electro dialysis. The present invention also provides delivery of the CO.sub.2 to greenhouses where increased levels of CO.sub.2 will improve conditions for growth. Alternatively, the CO.sub.2 is fed to an algae culture.

The present invention discloses an electrified fiber sorbent formed from a support comprising a sorbent and a conductive material, and a manufacturing method therefor. The fiber sorbent according to the present invention is capable of efficiently adsorbing a relatively low concentration of carbon dioxide, particularly, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and an energy efficiency is good because the energy source required for desorption of carbon dioxide is free, and direct heating of the sorbent is possible.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for purifying efficiently and easily a .sup.226Ra-containing solution obtained when .sup.225Ac is produced from a .sup.226Ra target, a method for producing a .sup.226Ra target by using the purified .sup.226Ra-containing solution obtained by the above purification method, and a method for producing .sup.225Ac including these above methods. The method for purifying a .sup.226Ra-containing solution according to the present invention is characterized by including an adsorption step (R1) of allowing .sup.226Ra ions to adsorb onto a carrier having a function of selectively adsorbing divalent cations by bringing a .sup.226Ra-containing solution (a) into contact with the carrier under an alkaline condition; and an elution step (R2) of eluting the .sup.226Ra ions from the carrier under an acidic condition.
