Abstract: A gas-adsorbing material may increase gas barrier properties for a target gas by reducing a gas-adsorption rate while maintaining gas-adsorption performance. A vacuum insulation material may use the gas-adsorbing material. The gas-adsorbing material may include a gas-adsorbing composition including a copper ion exchanged ZSM-5-type zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio ranging from about 10 to 50 in a framework of zeolite. A ratio of dealuminization of the ZSM-5-type zeolite is at least about 15%, and the gas-adsorbing material is capable of adsorbing at least nitrogen. Furthermore, the gas-adsorbing material may include a calcinated body of a compressed article comprising a gas-adsorbing composition including a copper ion exchanged ZSM-5-type zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio ranging from about 10 to 50 in a framework of zeolite (where a ratio of dealuminization of the ZSM-5-type zeolite is at least about 15%) and a moisture-absorbing material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a water recovery method and an FO draw solution that reduce the energy consumption required for water recovery, increase the osmotic pressure of a draw solution, recover the water from a DS mixed solution relatively easily, and reduce a solute that remains in the water, and simultaneously reduce fouling of the FO membrane. The water recovery method may include inflowing water into a draw solution by partitioning a feed solution including water and a draw solution, including a basic temperature-sensitive polymer and an acidic gas dissolved therein and having higher osmotic pressure than the feed solution, with a forward osmosis membrane.
