The sorbent product may further include at least from about 0 wt % to about 99% wt %, based on the total weight of the sorbent product, of at least one additional additive. Methods for making same and methods and systems for controlling multiple pollutants are also included.

A sorbent composition for pelletized carbon products having high strength and water resistance is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of producing and using sorbent compositions of pelletized carbon products having higher strength and water resistance. Other embodiments include a system and method for removing contaminants from a process gas stream.

A method of preparing a porous and permeable adsorption material for a vaporizer utilizes a mixing step; a kneading step; a molding step; a drying step; a first holding step; a calcining step; a second holding step; a forming step; a third holding step; and a producing step. The raw materials include particulates of silicon carbide of 50-85 weight percent, a binder of 1-30 weight percent, a pore forming agent of 5-35 weight percent, and a surfactant of 0.15-7.5 weight percent. Once these raw material components are mixed, then adding water of 5 weight percent to 35 weight percent while kneading to form a wetted mixture of raw materials. The remaining steps describe a molding and heating regimen.

The disclosed subject matter relates to a microcapsule including a particle core selected from activated carbon (AC), super activated carbon (SAC), MOF composition, multifunctional material or a mixture thereof and a water-soluble polymer shell, including a membrane into which the microcapsule is incorporated, a membrane with exposed AC, SAC, MOF, or multifunctional materials or mixture thereof formed therefrom and methods used is the formation of all of the above.

In a method for producing porous composite bodies, which have a support structure made of a material having good thermal conductivity and which have at least one functional material, a multiplicity of shaped bodies (1) made of the functional material are coated with the material having good thermal conductivity and a solid connection between the coated shaped bodies (1) is established in order to form the support structure made of the material having good thermal conductivity. The coating (2) is generated with a porous structure or is provided with a porous structure, which, after the solid connection has been established, permits access for a liquid or gaseous medium through the coating to the functional material. The method permits cost-effective production of porous composite bodies with very good heat transfer properties.

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 invention relates to the field of water treatment/fluoride removal and to materials/devices useful in such processes. Specifically, the invention provides for hybrid materials comprising amyloid fibrils and ZrO2; and to composite materials further comprising a support material. The invention further provides for the treatment of water using such hybrid or composite materials.
