The present disclosure relates to a carrier with high capacity which is capable of adsorbing a chlorine dioxide gas at high concentration and a method of preparing a release kit which is capable of releasing the chlorine dioxide gas at a certain concentration for a long period of time, and more particularly, provides a preparation method of a carrier which is capable of adsorbing a high concentration chlorine dioxide gas at high capacity and capable of maintaining a physically and chemically stable state for a long period of time, the carrier including a silica gel, i.e., an indicator material which may indicate whether or not the chlorine dioxide gas is adsorbed or desorbed, by colors; and the present disclosure provides a method capable of manufacturing a chlorine dioxide gas sterilization device which consists of a release kit enabling the chlorine dioxide gas of a certain concentration to be continuously released from the carrier for a long period of time, an internal configuration of the kit including a well-light shielded sealed container capable of storing the carrier and the indicator, an inner upper part of the sealed container containing an aromatic gel that is capable of suppressing a distinctive smell of chlorine dioxide and immersed in a super absorbent polymer, which is configured so that the release amount and the release duration can be adjusted when adjusting the hole size by forming a hole with a predetermined size in a lid of the sealed container so that the chlorine dioxide gas can be released at a certain concentration from the inside of the sealed container to the outside thereof for a long period of time, and which not only can be subminiaturized by allowing the configuration of the device to become structurally very simple when applying the kit to the sterilization device, but also is more safe and inexpensive by excluding the use of harmful chemical substances, i.e., raw materials required for generating the chlorine dioxide gas. Further, as a carrier according to the present disclosure may be reusable up to five times, the carrier has great advantages in terms of recycling of resources and maintenance costs.

The present invention relates to a process for producing surface-postcrosslinked water-absorbent polymer particles by coating of water-absorbent polymer particles having a content of residual monomers in the range from 0.03 to 15% by weight with at least one surface-postcrosslinker and thermal surface-postcrosslinking at temperatures in the range from 100 to 180° C.

A purification agent which includes a compound having a betaine structure, and which is for a sugar chain having a length equal to or longer than that of a monosaccharide or for a glycopeptide having a sugar chain having a length equal to or longer than that of a monosaccharide.

The present invention relates to a chromatography ligand, which comprises Domain C from Staphylococcus protein A (SpA), or a functional fragment or variant thereof. The chromatography ligand presents an advantageous capability of withstanding harsh cleaning in place (CIF) conditions, and is capable of binding Fab fragments of antibodies. The ligand may be provided with a terminal coupling group, such as arginine or cysteine, to facilitate its coupling to an insoluble carrier such as beads or a membrane. The invention also relates process of using the ligand in isolation of antibodies, and to a purification protocol which may include washing steps and/or regeneration with alkali.

Air filtration, in particular in cooking appliances, such as for example deep fryers. In particular, an odorless lid suitable for any container that allows odors or volatile compounds to escape and more particularly for any food cooking appliance, the odorless lid comprises a filtering material of particles having a core-shell structure, wherein the activated carbon core is surrounded by a shell of a mesoporous sol-gel material based on functionalized or nonfunctionalized silica.

Novel particles and materials for chromatographic separations, processes for preparation and separations devices containing the chromatographic particles and materials are provided by the instant invention. In particular, the invention provides a porous inorganic/organic hybrid particle, wherein the inorganic portion of the hybrid particle is present in an amount ranging from about 0 molar % to not more than about 49 molar %, wherein the pores of the particle are substantially disordered. The invention also provides a porous inorganic/organic hybrid particle, wherein the inorganic portion of the hybrid particle is present in an amount ranging from about 25 molar % to not more than about 50 molar %, wherein the pores of the particle are substantially disordered and wherein the particle has a chromatographically enhancing pore geometry (CEPG). Methods for producing the hybrid particles, separations devices comprising the hybrid particles and kits are also provided.
