Provided are beads for blood processing having porous beads and a polymer carried on the surface of the porous beads, wherein: the porous beads are configured from at least one resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, styrene resins, and cellulose resins; and the polymer includes a specific monomer defined in the description as a monomer unit.

The present disclosure relates to a method of separating a compound of interest, particularly unsaturated compound(s) of interest, from a mixture. The compound is separated using a column having a chromatographic stationary phase material for various different modes of chromatography containing a first substituent and a second substituent. The first substituent minimizes compound retention variation over time under chromatographic conditions. The second substituent chromatographically and selectively retains the compound by incorporating one or more aromatic, polyaromatic, heterocyclic aromatic, or polyheterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups, each group being optionally substituted with an aliphatic group. In some examples, the present disclosure can include a chromatographic system having a chromatographic column having a stationary phase with a chromatographic substrate containing silica, metal oxide, an inorganic-organic hybrid material, a group of block copolymers, or a combination thereof.

Methods are provided for synthesizing metal-organic framework compositions using synthesis mixtures with elevated solids content and/or elevated kinematic viscosity. The methods can allow for formation of MOF-274 metal-organic framework compositions, such as EMM-67 (a mixed-metal MOF-274 metal-organic composition). More generally, the methods can allow for formation of MOF structures that include multi-ring disalicylate organic linkers using synthesis mixtures that contain a reduced or minimized amount of solvent, such as down to having substantially no solvent in the synthesis mixture.

One aspect of the present invention relates to an adsorption filter containing an activated carbon and a fibrous binder. The adsorption filter has a density of 0.400 g/ml or more, and a pore volume at a pore diameter of 1 to 20 m is 0.60 ml/g or less as measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry.

The present disclosure provides a porous silica having an average pore diameter of at least 210 and a pore volume of at least 0.80 cm.sup.3g.sup.1. The present disclosure also provides a method of producing the porous silica including gelling a liquid phase-dispersed nanoparticulate silica in the presence of either (i) a Brnsted acid and an amine group having two or more primary or secondary amine groups or (ii) an amino acid.

The present disclosure provides a porous silica having an average pore diameter of from 20 to 450 , a median (D50) pore diameter of from 20 to 450 , a pore volume of from 0.15 to 1.2 cm.sup.3 g.sup.1, a surface area of from 100 to 600 m.sup.2 g.sup.1, and a span of 0.80 or less. The present disclosure also provides a method of producing the porous silica. The method includes the step of mixing together an aqueous phase comprising nanoparticulate silica and an organic phase to form a water-in-oil dispersion or emulsion. The organic phase includes an organic solvent that is insoluble or partially soluble in water and optionally also includes a non-polar organic compound that is insoluble in water and at least partially soluble in the organic solvent. A gelling agent is present in the aqueous phase such that the nanoparticulate silica gels form the porous silica.

A method of removing a degraded component from a hydrocarbon fluid includes: receiving the hydrocarbon fluid from a fluid source; directing the hydrocarbon fluid to a first porous medium capable of adsorbing the degraded component to produce a purified fluid that has a reduced amount of degraded component as compared to the hydrocarbon fluid; removing the purified fluid from the first porous medium; and regenerating the first porous medium with a regenerant. The porous medium can include a crosslinked polystyrene having at least one of a BET pore volume of greater than or equal to 0.6 mL/g or a surface area of 500 to 900 m.sup.2/g, or 500 to 850 m.sup.2/g as determined in accordance with to ISO 9277:2010.
