The present invention relates to the isolation and purification of sialylated oligosaccharides from an aqueous medium in which they are produced.

A purification device for water has a housing with a longitudinal axis, an upper and a lower end and a substantially round cross section. The device includes a first receptacle, arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing, for a first purification medium, and a second receptacle, which is also arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing, for a second purification medium. The receptacle for the second purification medium is arranged eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

Disclosed are a CHA zeolite membrane and a method of preparing the same, and more particularly, a CHA zeolite membrane having high capacity to separate CO.sub.2/N.sub.2 and CO.sub.2/CH.sub.4 even under wet conditions using a membrane produced using a synthetic precursor having a controlled ratio of Si and Al, a method of preparing the same, and a method of capturing and removing carbon dioxide using the membrane.

A membrane for water collection may include a sheet having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a plurality of conical structures disposed on the top surface of the sheet, the conical structures comprising a hydrogel material. Each conical structure of the plurality of conical structures may have a height of 1 mm to 50 mm, wherein height is measured from the top surface of the sheet to an apex of a conical structure. Each conical structure of the plurality of conical structures may have an apex angle of 10 to 60 degrees.

The present invention relates to a method for separating biomass from a solution comprising bi-omass and at least one aroma compound. comprising providing the solution comprising bio-mass and aroma compounds. lowering the pH value of the solution below 7 by adding at least one acid to the solution comprising biomass and the at least one aroma compound. adding an adsorbing agent to the solution comprising biomass and aroma compounds. and carrying out first membrane filtration so as to separate the biomass from the solution comprising the at least one aroma compound.

A filtering device is for obtaining a chemical liquid by purifying a liquid to be purified, and the filtering device has an inlet portion, an outlet portion, a filter A, at least one filter B different from the filter A, and a flow path which includes the filter A and the filter B arranged in series and extends from the inlet portion to the outlet portion, in which the filter A has a porous base material made of polyfluorocarbon and a coating layer which is disposed to cover the porous base material and contains a resin having an adsorptive group.

A method for process a chemical liquid is provided. The method includes at least providing a system having at least one filtration medium, treatment the system with a treatment liquid having a content of iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca) of about 10 ppb or less, and processing a chemical liquid using an apparatus having the system configured therein after the treatment process.
