Described herein is a soil remediation material capable of absorbing and removing chromium from soil and being recycled so as to enable efficient remediation, repeated recycle, and reduction in remediation cost.

The present description provides high working capacity adsorbents with low DBL bleed emission performance properties that allows the design of evaporative fuel emission control systems that are lower cost, simpler and more compact than those possible by prior art. Emission control canister systems comprising the adsorbent material demonstrate a relatively high gasoline working capacity, and low emissions.

A water purification cartridge includes a casing with a tubular shape that has an inflow portion for raw water to flow in and an outflow portion for purified water to flow out, and a filter member for filtering the raw water, the filter member being accommodating within the casing. The filter member is formed to have a cylindrical shape having a hollow portion, and has a first face and a second face at respective ends in an axial direction. The casing has a first cover portion, a second cover portion, and a side wall portion. The first cover portion covers the first face. The second cover covers the second face. The side wall portion covers an outer circumferential face of the filter member. In the first cover portion, a first contact portion is formed that annularly comes into contact with the first face and that press the filter member in the axial direction to elastically deform the filter member. In the second cover portion, a second contact portion is formed that annularly comes into contact with the second face and that press the filter member in the axial direction to elastically deform the filter member.

In a particular implementation, a system for drying lignin may include a mixer configured to receive lignin and one or more types of desiccant beads and to mix the lignin with the one or more types of desiccant beads. The one or more types of desiccant beads may be configured to reduce a moisture content of the lignin by adsorbing moisture from the lignin into the one or more types of desiccant beads. The system may further include a separator coupled to the mixer and configured to separate the lignin from the one or more types of desiccant beads.

The present disclosure relates to charge-bearing polymeric materials and methods of their use for purifying fluid samples from micropollutants, such as anionic micropollutants.

A degradable adsorbent includes a porous degradable polymeric substrate, and nanoparticles bound to the porous degradable polymeric substrate. A method for removing an impurity from a fluid includes immersing a degradable adsorbent in the fluid containing the impurity, adsorbing the impurities in the degradable adsorbent, and disintegrating the degradable adsorbent in an aqueous solvent to produce a mixture containing the aqueous solvent, a degraded substrate and the impurity.

A melamine-formaldehyde derived porous carbon adsorbent may be prepared from melamine-formaldehyde derived porous carbon disposable products. The melamine-formaldehyde derived porous carbon effectively removes organic pollutants from aqueous media. Parameters of contact time, solution pH, initial adsorbate concentration and desorption rate affect efficacy. Adsorption capacities of exemplary melamine-formaldehyde derived porous carbon for MG and MB dyes at 298 K were up to 25 mg/g and 35 mg/g, respectively.

An evaluation method capable of evaluating whether or not waste plastic-derived porous carbon can be applied on an industrial scale, according to the present disclosure, may include the steps of evaluating CO.sub.2 capture performance using a 5-step temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) process, assessing economic feasibility in an industry using a techno-economic assessment (TEA) method, and quantifying environmental impacts of the porous carbon production pathway and global warming potential (GWP) using cradle-to-gate life-cycle assessment (LCA).

A method for manufacturing porous carbon, according to the present disclosure, may include the steps of carbonizing a polyethylene terephthalate plastic, activating the carbonized plastic with CO.sub.2, and performing cooling.

An adsorbent device includes adsorbent fibers laid along or wound around a center tube. In a specific example, the adsorbent fibers are porous solid amine adsorbent fibers. A module for purifying a raw fluid includes one or more adsorbent devices that can be installed in a vessel in series or in parallel. The module can be configured for axial or cross flow operation and can be employed to purify a gas containing a contaminant such as an acid gas. In some implementations, the module is provided with one or more heating elements that can be used to release adsorbed contaminant to regenerate the adsorbent fibers.
