  • Patent number: 9192911
    Abstract: Provided is a preparation method of an oxygen-selective adsorbent selectively adsorbing oxygen in the air and an oxygen-selective adsorbent prepared thereby. The preparation method includes: preparing BaMg(CO3)2 particles or particles in which MgCO3 or Mg(OH)2 are attached to the outside of BaMg(CO3)2; and sintering the particles at a high temperature. The oxygen-selective adsorbent according to the present invention may adsorb oxygen in the air at a fast rate as compared with an existing oxygen-selective adsorbent and have high thermal stability and excellent oxygen adsorptivity.

  • Patent number: 8999041
    Abstract: An apparatus for separating carbon dioxide is provided. The apparatus includes: an absorption column in which carbon dioxide in off-gas is allowed to react with an absorbent solution so as to strip the carbon dioxide from the off-gas; a regeneration column in which the carbon dioxide is removed from the absorbent solution to regenerate the absorbent solution; and an ion-exchange column including a chamber having a cathode chamber space that receives the absorbent solution from the absorption column and an anode chamber space that receives the absorbent solution from the regeneration column, the ion-exchange column further including a permeable membrane that divides the chamber into the cathode chamber space and the anode chamber space.

  • Patent number: 8513475
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in which a catalytic reaction is used in order to produce hydrocarbons from renewable starting material derived from biological organisms such as vegetable lipids, animal lipids, and lipids extracted from macroalgae and microalgae, and more specifically relates to a method for selectively making a hydrocarbon, which is suitable for making gasoline or diesel, by removing the oxygen contained in the starting material without consuming hydrogen. In the present invention, the production takes place by bringing the starting material into contact with hydrotalcite, which constitutes a catalyst, thereby removing oxygen via a decarboxylation or decarbonylation reaction; and the starting material is one or more such material selected from triglycerides, fatty acids, and fatty acid derivatives obtained from a renewable source of supply originating from a biological organism.

  • Publication number: 20120110902
    Abstract: A sulfur compound adsorbent for solvent extraction of coal and methods using the same to adsorb sulfur compounds and refine coal are provided. The adsorbent for solvent extraction of coal serves to remove sulfur compounds from an organic solvent containing a coal's combustible component resulting from solvent extraction of low-grade coal and is composed of any one or a mixture of two or more selected from among alkali earth metal oxide, alkali earth metal hydroxide, aluminum oxide and activated carbon.
