A carbon dioxide separation recovery method includes: bringing a particulate carbon dioxide adsorbent and a treatment target gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with each other to make the carbon dioxide adsorbent adsorb the carbon dioxide contained in the treatment target gas; and bringing the carbon dioxide adsorbent which has adsorbed the carbon dioxide and desorption steam into contact with each other to desorb the carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide adsorbent, and thereby, regenerate the carbon dioxide adsorbent and recover the desorbed carbon dioxide. The step of recovering the carbon dioxide includes utilizing a recovery gas as a heat source of a heat exchanger, the recovery gas containing the desorption steam which has contacted the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the carbon dioxide which has been desorbed from the carbon dioxide adsorbent.

Methods and systems related to valorizing carbon dioxide are disclosed. A disclosed system includes a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor, a carbon dioxide source connection fluidly connecting a carbon dioxide source to the RWGS reactor, an electrolyzer having an anode area and a cathode area, and a carbon monoxide source connection fluidly connecting the RWGS reactor to the cathode area. The RWGS reactor is configured to generate, using a volume of carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide source connection, a volume of carbon monoxide in a RWGS reaction. The electrolyzer is configured to generate, using the electrolyzer and a reduction of the volume of carbon monoxide from the carbon monoxide source connection and an oxidation of an oxidation substrate, a volume of generated chemicals including hydrocarbons, organic acids, alcohol, olefins, or N-rich organic compounds.

A portable device for oxygen generation comprising at least one reservoir for holding a hydrogen peroxide solution, a reactor, for reacting hydrogen solution with a catalyst, a feeding system for supplying said hydrogen peroxide solution to said reactor from said reservoir, a system for cooling, interconnected to an outlet of said reactor, a hydrophobic filter membrane, for removing water at an oxygen outlet of said cooling system and an oxygen flow regulator, for regulating oxygen flow at said oxygen outlet.

An apparatus for collecting helium gas includes: a first receptacle having a first flexible membrane for receiving a gas containing helium, the first receptacle being selectively couplable to an inlet of the apparatus; a second receptacle having a second flexible membrane for receiving the gas containing helium, the second receptacle being selectively couplable to the inlet of the apparatus; a pump having an inlet selectively couplable to an outlet of the first receptacle and selectively couplable to an outlet of the second receptacle; a purifier having an inlet couplable to an outlet of the pump; and an outlet of the apparatus couplable to an outlet of the purifier. A method of collecting and reusing helium gas is also described. Other valuable and/or rare gases may be recovered and reused.

A dip-conduit purification apparatus (102) comprises a purification line comprising a plurality of serially coupled purification conduits (124, 126, 128), each of the plurality of purification conduits (124, 126, 128) having an inlet at a first distal end thereof in fluid communication with an outlet at a second distal end thereof.

Production of lime (calcium oxide: CaO) from limestone (CaCO.sub.3) is one of the oldest natural chemical processes and this process is reversible, per FIG. 4 (CaCO.sub.3.fwdarw.CaO+CO.sub.2 under 500 to 600 C. heat). Subsequently when lime is exposed to the moving air; carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) in the air will react with the lime and lime will convert back to limestone. By repeating same limestone to lime chemical process, lime and carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) will be created. After separating and storing the carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), process will be repeated continuously, using the same lime.

Disclosed is a purification method for removing a metal component from a fluorine gas containing hydrogen fluoride and a metal component. This method includes a removing step for removing the hydrogen fluoride and the metal component therefrom by bringing the fluorine gas into contact with a solid metal fluoride to adsorb the hydrogen fluoride and the metal component on the metal fluoride. The content of the hydrogen fluoride in the fluorine gas before the removing step is 50 volume ppm to 1 volume %, relative to the total volume of the fluorine gas, the hydrogen fluoride and the metal component. The metal fluoride is preferably an alkali metal fluoride or an alkali earth metal fluoride. Surprisingly, the presence of hydrogen fluoride in a fluorine gas makes it possible to remove a metal component therefrom as an impurity as a result of adsorption thereof by a metal fluoride.

Impure gaseous hydrogen chloride from organochlorosilane hydrolysis is freed of impurities by first scrubbing with an organochlorosilane, which may be the same or different from the organochlorosilane(s) hydrolyzed, and then further scrubbing with chloromethane. The purified gaseous hydrogen chloride is preferably used in chlorosilane synthesis.

In a process for the scrubbing of a gas stream, liquid (7) from the scrubbing tower (K) is vaporized (E1) in order to cool ambient air (19) which is subsequently used to cool water (25), producing cooling water (27) to be used upstream or downstream of the scrubbing process.

A method of purifying a crude lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, includes adding a water removal agent to a pretreatment liquid containing the crude lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide to perform a dehydration reaction at a temperature ranging from 20? ? C. to 40? C., reacting the same for an additional 1 h to 6 h after an acid gas stops escaping from the reaction system, and filtering the reaction system to obtain a filtrate; the water removal agent is bismuth trichloride or antimony trichloride. Evaporating and concentrating the filtrate, and recrystallizing the concentrated filtrate are performed to obtain a purified lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide.
