The adsorption apparatus comprises: a housing enclosing at least one adsorption element for adsorbing the target gaseous adsorbate, the at least one adsorption element comprising at least one substrate coated with an adsorptive composite coating that comprises at least 50 wt % metal organic framework and at least one binder, the housing having an inlet through which the gaseous feed stream can flow to the adsorption element and an outlet through which gas can flow out from the housing; and a desorption arrangement in contact with and/or surrounding the at least one adsorption element, the desorption arrangement being selectively operable between (i) a deactivated state, and (ii) an activated state in which the arrangement is configured to heat, apply a reduced pressure or a combination thereof to the adsorptive composite coating to desorb at least a portion of the adsorbed target gaseous adsorbate from the adsorptive composite coating.

An adsorbent bed, including at least one elementary composite structure that includes adsorbent particles in a polymer matrix, wherein the adsorbent bed has a bed packing, ρ.sub.bed, defined as a volume occupied by the at least one elementary composite structure V.sub.ecs divided by a volume of the adsorbent bed V.sub.bed where ρ.sub.bed is greater than 0.60.

Provided is a guard column including a filling part having a length of 2.0 cm to 3.5 cm formed of a filler, in which the filler is made of porous silica gel having a hydrophilized surface and an average particle size of 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, and a pressure difference when an aqueous solution is fed at a linear flow rate of 2.1 cm/min is 4.0 MPa or more.

An object of the present invention is to provide a carrier for adsorbing organic matter, which achieves both of adsorption ability for organic matter and suppression of pressure increase. The present invention provides a carrier for adsorbing organic matter, comprising a sea-island type solid composite fiber, wherein the pore volume is 0.05 to 0.5 cm.sup.3/g and the fiber diameter is 25 to 60 μm.

Functionalised polymeric chromatography medium, comprising: at least one non-woven sheet comprising one or more polymeric nanofibers having a mean diameter of 10-1000 nm; one or more polymer chains grafted onto the one or more polymeric nanofibers, wherein the polymer chains are poly-glycerol chains comprising glycidol monomer residues or wherein the polymer chains comprise divinylsulfone monomer residues; and at least one ligand group bonded to the one or more polymer chains.

A method for preparing a filling material includes: dissolving FeCl.sub.3.Math.6H.sub.2O and an imprinted molecule in water to form a reaction solution; adding DMF to the reaction solution and stirring for dissolution; adding BDC to the reaction solution and stirring for dissolution; soaking PC into the reaction solution and stirring; and treating the reaction solution by a hydrothermal method to remove a molecule of an additive decomposition product and prepare the filling material imprinted with a casting structure of the molecule of additive decomposition product. The present invention can effectively and selectively adsorb the additive decomposition products and achieve the effects of effectively removing the additive decomposition products, preventing the decomposition products from being mixed in an electrodeposition film of the copper, realizing the uniform distribution of current on the cathode and the anode, improving the quality and preparing an electrolytic copper foil for high-frequency signal transmission.

This invention employs solid phase extraction media and column methods to apply external and internal standards and compounds. Analytical standard or compounds including PFAS are adsorbed to a solid phase extraction media and are stored indefinitely. The standards or compounds remain stable on the solid phase extraction media without decomposing. The standards or compounds may be removed from the solid phase extraction media with an elution solvent or reagent.

A sorbent pellet comprising a sorbent material. The sorbent pellet is suitable for use in a sorbent rotor device, for example to capture water or water vapour from a gaseous or liquid composition comprising water or water vapour. The sorbent material has a unit cell density of at least 0.8 g/cm3 and may therefore be considered to be a high density sorbent material. A plurality of sorbent pellets may provide a high capacity media for a sorbent rotor device, which may be particularly effective in dehumidification, desalination or water purification processes. Also disclosed are a cartridge for a sorbent rotor device, a sorbent rotor device for capturing water from a liquid or gaseous composition comprising water, a method of capturing water from a composition comprising water and/or water vapour, and a use of a sorbent material having a density of at least 0.8 g/cm3 in pellet form to capture water from air.

The present invention provides a metal-organic framework material for the adsorptive separation of acetylene/ethylene mixture and preparation method therefor. The metal-organic framework material is named TJE-2 with a chemical formula of [Ni(pyc)(apyz)].sub.n, wherein, Ni represents nickel as a metal center, pyc represents the organic ligand 1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, and apyz represents the organic ligand 2-aminopyrazine. The preparation method is as follows: thoroughly dissolving pyc, apyz and Ni(NO.sub.3).sub.2.Math.6H.sub.2O, transferring the mixture to a pressure-resistant closed container for heating reaction, followed by solvent exchange and activation to obtain a homogeneous powder material. The ultra-microporous metal-organic framework material prepared by the present invention features a significantly high C.sub.2H.sub.2 adsorption capacity, good selectivity, and low raw material costs, and therefore can realize C.sub.2H.sub.2/C.sub.2H.sub.4 separation at lower costs.
