The core-shell type amine-based carbon dioxide adsorbent including a chelating agent resistant to oxygen and sulfur dioxide according to the present invention is an adsorbent which includes a chelating agent to inhibit oxidative decomposition of amine and has, as a core, a porous support on which an amine compound is immobilized and has, as a shell, an amine layer resistant to inactivity by sulfur dioxide, and a method of preparing the same. The amine-based carbon dioxide adsorbent including a chelating agent exhibits considerably high oxidation resistance because an added chelate compound functions to directly remove a variety of transition metal impurities catalytically acting on amine oxidation. In addition, the sulfur dioxide-resistant amine layer of the shell selectively adsorbs sulfur dioxide to protect the amine compound of the core and, at the same time, the amine compound of the core selectively adsorbs only carbon dioxide. In addition, sulfur dioxide adsorbed on the shell is readily desorbed therefrom at about 110 C. and thus remarkably improved regeneration stability is obtained during the temperature-swing adsorption (TSA) process containing sulfur dioxide.

Provided is a secondary battery having a battery case which accommodates an electrode assembly including a cathode, a anode, and a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode, together with an electrolyte, wherein one or more selected from the group consisting of the cathode, the anode, the separator, the electrolyte, and the interior of the battery case include, as a water adsorbent, a first organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous material which may be regenerated by desorbing 70% or more of a total adsorption amount of adsorbed water at 150 C. or lower; and optionally, a second organic-inorganic hybrid nanoporous material, of which water adsorption capacity is higher than water desorption capacity at a relative humidity p/p0 of 0.3 or less (herein, p0 represents a saturated vapor pressure at an application temperature and p represents a vapor pressure upon adsorption).

Novel sorbents, devices, kits and methods useful for sample treatment are disclosed herein.

A promoted activated carbon sorbent is described that is highly effective for the removal of mercury from flue gas streams. The sorbent comprises a new modified carbon form containing reactive forms of halogen and halides. Optional components may be added to increase reactivity and mercury capacity. These may be added directly with the sorbent, or to the flue gas to enhance sorbent performance and/or mercury capture. Mercury removal efficiencies obtained exceed conventional methods. The sorbent can be regenerated and reused. Sorbent treatment and preparation methods are also described. New methods for in-flight preparation, introduction, and control of the active sorbent into the mercury contaminated gas stream are described.
