The production of lime (CaO; calcium oxide) from limestone (CaCO.sub.3) is one of the oldest natural chemical processes and it is used in construction.

In order to utilize the common knowledge chemical formula, per FIG. 3 (CaCO.sub.3.fwdarw.CaO+CO.sub.2 under 500 C. to 600 C. heat) first, lime needs to be exposed to moving air. Additionally, to speed up the carbon dioxide reaction with lime, lime is mixed with water. The lime and water mixture creates a lime slurry. The lime slurry is then poured into specially designed conveyor pans. Chains will be placed in to pans, prior to pouring the lime slurry. Chains, in this case, act as an enforcement for the lime panels and it will be possible to use magnetic holders to move the panels. After placing the lime slurry in conveyor pans, the slurry will harden. The hardened slurry panels then will be moved from conveyor to cable hangers. Moving cable hangers will provide fresh air contact with the hardened lime panels.

After lime panels react and saturate with CO.sub.2, the lime will be converted back to limestone (CaCO.sub.3; within 24 hours exposure to the air).

At this stage, limestone panels will be crushed, and after grinding, filled into the containers to accomplish the formula in FIG. 3, or the creation of lime and carbon dioxide from limestone.

After CO.sub.2 removal and storage, the process will be repeated continuously, using the same lime.

This method does not need a catalyst and does not create leftover byproducts.

Shippable modular units configured for use in sequestering CO.sub.2 are provided. Aspects of the units include a support having one or more of: a CO.sub.2 gas/liquid contactor subunit, a carbonate production subunit and an alkali enrichment subunit; associated therewith. Also provided are systems made up of one or more such modular units, and methods for using the units/systems in CO.sub.2 sequestration protocols.

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.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems to isolate nitrogen from a mixture of gases. In an embodiment, a method of isolating nitrogen from a gaseous mixture involves contacting the gaseous mixture with a superparamagnetic catalyst to form a reaction mixture, and exposing the reaction mixture to a fluctuating magnetic field at ambient conditions.

A portable oxygen generating system is provided that comprises a reaction chamber, a feed system for providing and controlling hydrogen peroxide solution to the reaction chamber, and a cooling/condensing system for cooling the hot oxygen and water vapor leaving the reactor and condensing and removing water. The portable chemical oxygen generation system produces humidified, breathable oxygen, that is substantially free of hydrogen peroxide and other contaminants, at a controlled flow and temperature over an extended period of time.

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.
