  • Patent number: 11612878
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of analytical chemistry, in particular to synthesis and application of a nanomaterial for removal of patulin (Pat). The present disclosure adopts 2-Oxin as a substitute template, AM as a functional monomer, and synthetic Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-GO magnetic nanoparticles as a carrier, for preparing a magnetic MIP specific for Pat adsorption by surface imprinting. The addition of Fe3O4 makes the finally prepared molecular imprinted adsorbent material magnetic, thereby facilitating separation of a material from a matrix, eliminating complicated operation steps such as filtration and centrifugation, and facilitating recovery of materials.

  • Patent number: 8961654
    Abstract: This invention provides methods for reducing emissions of mercury from a cement plant comprising at least a kiln (6), a particulate collection device (10), collected particulates, an exhaust gas stream (8b), a heater, and a mercury scrubber, wherein the heater and mercury scrubber are upstream from the kiln. The methods comprise directing the collected particulates through the heater, to form volatilized mercury species from the collected particulates; directing the collected particulates from the heater downstream toward the kiln; and directing the volatilized mercury species to the mercury scrubber. The exhaust gas stream (8c) exits the particulate collection device and is not directed into the heater. Optional steps include injecting a mercury sorbent at one or more points between the kiln and the particulate collection device.
