This invention provides a method of removing sulfur oxides, mercury vapor and other contaminants from a flue gas stream and a flue gas treatment device comprising a sorbent polymer composite substrate comprising a high surface area support and a durable halogen source adjacent the sorbent polymer composite substrate. The halogen source comprises a compound with a quaternary ammonium halogen salt that is not washed away.

The invention relates to regenerative, solid sorbent for adsorbing carbon dioxide from a gas mixture, with the sorbent including a modified polyamine and a nano-structured solid support. The modified polyamine is the reaction product of an amine and an aldehyde. The sorbent provides structural integrity, as well as high selectivity and increased capacity for efficiently capturing carbon dioxide from gas mixtures, including the air. The sorbent is regenerative, and can be used through multiple operations of absorption-desorption cycles.

An integrated autonomous air purification device for taking in polluted air, carrying it through the inside of the purification device where it passes through a set of filtering elements (1) that trap the dust particles contained in the air; ultraviolet-light lamps (2) that transform NO.sub.X and CO gases in the air into harmless compounds; an activated carbon filter (4) that traps and eliminates the volatile organic compounds and inorganic acidic gases; second filtering elements (5) that carry out a second filtering; and an extraction hood (6) configured to direct the air coming out of the second filtering elements (5) to at least one nozzle (7) that expels the air to the outside of the purification device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards methods for preparing mixed-metal oxide particles by heating adamantane-intercalated layered double-hydroxide (LDH) particles at a reaction temperature of from 400° C. to 800° C. to form mixed-metal oxide particles. The adamantane-intercalated LDH particles have a general formula [M.sub.1-xAl.sub.x(OH).sub.2](A).sub.x.mH.sub.2O, where x is from 0.14 to 0.33, m is from 0.33 to 0.50, M is chosen from Mg, Ca, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn, and A is adamantane carboxylate, and an aspect ratio greater than 100. The aspect ratio is defined by the width of an adamantane-intercalated LDH particle divided by the thickness of the adamantane-intercalated LDH particle. The mixed-metal oxide particles comprise a mixed-metal oxide phase containing M, Al or Fe, and carbon.

A gel particle film of amino group-having polymer compound particles has a large acid gas absorption amount and desorption amount per unit volume, and has a high acid gas absorption rate and desorption rate per unit mass, and further has high stability. A gas absorber having the gel particle film supported on a carrier is useful as an acid gas separation material having good energy efficiency.
