The present invention relates to the CO.sub.2 and O.sub.2 remover. The CO.sub.2 and O.sub.2 remover comprises 65 to 85 weight percent (wt. %) of a nickel oxide (NiO), 5 to 20 wt. % of a magnesium oxide (MgO), wherein the weight ratio of the nickel oxide and the magnesium oxide (NiO/MgO) is 4 to 11, and wherein the wt. % is based on the weight of the CO.sub.2 and O.sub.2 remover.

Mesoporous poly (aryl ether ketone) articles are formed from blends of poly (aryl ether ketones) with pore forming additives by melt processing, and can be in the form of a monofilament, disc, film, microcapillary or other complex shapes. The method of formation provides for preparation of poly (aryl ether ketone) articles with high degree of surface area and uniform nanometer pore size. The preferred poly (aryl ether ketone)s are poly (ether ketone) and poly (ether ether ketone). The mesoporous articles formed by the method of the present invention are useful for a broad range of applications, including molecular separations and organic solvent filtration.

In one aspect, composite particles are described herein. A composite particle comprises a substrate, composite metallic or metal oxide nanoparticles supported by the substrate and an amphiphilic or hydrophilic component associated with the substrate, wherein the composite metallic or metal oxide nanoparticles comprise iron and at least one additional transition metal.

The present invention relates to an adsorbent resin for removing perfluorinated pollutants from a body of water, a preparation therefor and the use thereof. The objective is to solve the problem of traditional adsorbent materials, such as active carbon materials, having a poor effect in terms of removing perfluorooctanoic acid from water, being non-renewable, etc. In the present method, styrene and divinylbenzene are used as framework materials, a suitable pore-forming agent and a suitable dispersant are selected in order to prepare a macroporous resin with a moderate pore size, and an alkylation reaction is carried out at a low hindrance with p-xylylene dichloride (XDC) being used as a post-crosslinking agent, whereby a rigid benzene ring structure is introduced into the resin by means of post-crosslinking, thereby further increasing the hydrophobicity of the resin and increasing the crosslinking degree thereof; in addition, the micropore structure is adjusted in order to obtain an adsorbent resin with a narrow particle size distribution, a uniform pore size and a high specific surface area. The size of micropores in the resin is close to the molecular size of perfluorooctanoates in water, the adsorbate sieving capacity is strong, and the adsorption rate of perfluorinated compounds can be further improved.

Provided is a hydrogen isotope adsorbent with differential binding properties and including mesoporous silica doped with fluorine.
