Abstract: It is provided a method for evaluating damage of an organ tissue, in particular ischemic damage/injury of an organ tissue. The method includes the steps of measuring the concentration of at least one marker molecule in the perfusate of the organ tissue, where the measured concentration of the at least one marker molecule in the perfusate is used in at least one computer based prediction algorithm for generating at least one success score. The success score has been previously defined based on at least one parameter value of at least one pre-defined parameter. The at least one parameter value is determined after a transplantation of the organ tissue; and wherein based on the at least one success score at least one signal and/or at least one set of data is generated for facilitating the decision, if the organ tissue is suitable for transplantation or not.

Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption process (PSA) comprising the following steps: feeding an input gas containing H2, CO2 and impurities through a CO2 adsorbent material in a pressure vessel under a high pressure; withdrawing a first H2-rich product gas due to adsorption of CO2 in the adsorbent material; setting the pressure to an intermediate pressure causing the adsorbent material release a second gas stream; passing a CO2-rich purge stream through the adsorbent material, obtaining a purge gas; setting the pressure to a sub-atmospheric low pressure, so that a CO2-rich product gas is released under vacuum by the adsorbent material; re-pressurizing the vessel to said high pressure; said steps being performed cyclically in a pressure vessel or in a plurality of parallel pressure vessels of a multiple vessel setup.

Abstract: A temperature swing adsorption process for removing a target component from a gaseous mixture containing water and at least one side component, said process comprising: (a) at least one adsorption step, providing a target component-loaded adsorbent and at least one waste stream depleted of the target component; (b) a desorption step, comprising heating of the loaded adsorbent to a desorption temperature and providing a first output stream containing the desorbed target component; (c) a conditioning step; (d) at least one target component-releasing releasing step bringing the solid adsorbent to a temperature lower than said desorption temperature and providing at least one second output stream containing an amount of the target component and containing water; (e) separating water from said second output stream(s) and (f) subjecting the so obtained water-depleted stream(s) to said adsorption step or to at least one of said adsorption steps.

Abstract: A temperature swing adsorption process for removing a target component from a gaseous mixture, the process being carried out in a plurality of reactors, wherein each reactor performs: (a) adsorption of the target component providing a loaded adsorbent and a waste stream; (b) heating of the loaded adsorbent and desorption of target component, providing an output stream; (c) cooling of the adsorbent; a rinse step (a1) before the heating (b), wherein the loaded adsorbent is contacted with a rinse stream containing the target component, producing a purge stream depleted of the target component; a purge step (b1) before the cooling (c), wherein the adsorbent is contacted with the purge stream provided by another reactor while performing the rinse step (a1), thus producing an output stream containing the target component, wherein the rinse stream comprises at least a portion of the output stream provided by another reactor while performing the purge step (b1).
