Processes for regenerating sorbents at high temperatures, and associated systems, are generally described.

This disclosure is related to systems, methods, apparatuses, and techniques for generating water using waste heat. In certain embodiments, a system includes a water generating unit and a waste-heat-generating-system. The water generating unit can be configured to generate the water and comprises a desiccation device and a condenser coupled to the desiccation device. The waste-heat-generating-system can generate the waste heat when operating or is use. The water generating unit can be configured to use waste heat generated by the waste-heat-generating-system to generate the water.

A gas-permeable element configured to close a receptacle base containing an active material, wherein the receptacle includes the receptacle base and the gas-permeable element. The gas-permeable element includes a body, having a base wall, including at least one opening. For each opening of the base wall, the body includes a tubular projection projecting from a periphery of the opening. The tubular projection includes a first end, connected to the periphery of the opening, a second end, defining a distal edge surface transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tubular projection. A porous membrane portion extends across the second end of the tubular projection while attached to the distal edge surface at its periphery.

Systems and methods for operating a water recovery system are described and include activating a condenser of the water recovery system. The method includes measuring a temperature associated with the condenser based on data obtained from a condenser temperature sensor. The method includes comparing the temperature associated with the condenser to a maximum threshold temperature. The method includes activating an auxiliary condenser of the water recovery system in response to the temperature associated with the condenser being greater than the maximum threshold temperature.

A treatment process for remediating; contaminants in a mixture of contaminated fluids, including at least one liquid fluid and at least one gaseous fluid, includes the steps of: preparing a treatment composition containing at least 80 volume % of an aqueous solution containing at least one hydroxide compound at a collective concentration of 35-55 weight percent, and at least one organic acid selected from the group consisting of fulvic acid and humic acid at a collective concentration of 0.1-5 wt % of the treatment composition; adding a dosage of the treatment composition to a mixture of contaminated fluids including a liquid portion and a gaseous portion; and allowing the treatment composition to react with the mixture of contaminated fluids for at least 10 minutes. A pH of the treatment composition is at least 12.0

Injecting CO2 that is diluted within water, into a coal seam, which allows for the sequestering and control of downhole CO2 within connected fractures without damaging the subterranean formation.

A composition for use in brine formation comprising a deliquescent desiccant, urea, and an optional component selected from the group consisting of starch, citric acid, clay, glucose, and a combination thereof. Methods of making and using the composition are provided. The composition may be pressed into tablet form. The composition may be used in a dehumidifying device.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus, system and method for selectively capturing a carbon-containing gas from an input gas mixture.

An apparatus includes a housing that defines a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, and a fourth zone. The apparatus includes an inlet, a first outlet, a second outlet, and a conveyor belt. The inlet is configured to receive a carbon dioxide-containing fluid in the first zone. The first outlet is configured to discharge a carbon dioxide-depleted fluid from the first zone. The second outlet is configured to discharge a carbon dioxide-rich fluid from the third zone. The conveyor belt passes through each of the zones. The conveyor belt includes a carbon dioxide sorbent. Within the first zone, the carbon dioxide sorbent is configured to adsorb carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide-containing fluid to produce the carbon dioxide-depleted fluid. Within the third zone, the carbon dioxide sorbent is configured to desorb the captured carbon dioxide to produce the carbon dioxide-rich fluid.
