Using these structures as oil absorbers might potentially solve two problems at the same time — the removal of unwanted plants and the production of natural and selective oil
sorbent material at low - cost.
Preliminary results were published in a study in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, titled «Advanced oil
sorbents using sequential infiltration synthesis.»
With 50 years of experience in developing
sorbent solution technologies, Multisorb has attained a leadership position in the United States and Europe.
Originally invented to clean up the BP Oil Spill pulling long
oil sorbent using wind power by Cesar Harada, Protei is now a platform technology to transport scientific payload and clean - up equipment at sea, developed by an global community of scientists, engineers, makers and sailors.
Because of the amount
of sorbent needed, DSI will likely be implemented most often at plants that are 300 megawatts or less and burn low - sulfur coal.
To comply with MATS, it is assumed that all coal - fired plants have flue gas desulfurization equipment (scrubbers) or
dry sorbent injection systems installed by 2016.
Under today's settlement AEP agreed to install pollution - curbing dry
sorbent injection (DSI) technology on its massive Rockport coal - fired power plant in Southern Indiana.
Eisenberger and Chichilnisky say GT overcomes the issue that has bedeviled efforts to capture CO2 from the flue gas of coal plants
with sorbents — the «parasitic load» problem, or the fact that the extra energy it takes to capture carbon would reduce the efficiency of the coal plant.
Asaleo Care, the owner of brands
including Sorbent toilet paper and tissues and Libra feminine hygiene products, has made a quiet entry into the nappy market in Australia but its chief executive says he will be careful about firing up any full - scale onslaught against the market leader.
For those curious about this novel carbon capture technique, the original study was published a few years ago in the journal Nature, under the title Encapsulated liquid
sorbents for carbon dioxide capture.
These have resulted in a high market demand for eco-friendly
sorbents which have greater absorbency and water repellent properties, as well as effective heat insulation materials that are less costly to install.
Novel metal organic frameworks have shown significant potential as
CO2 sorbents.»
The researchers used a variety of precursors to synthesize porous carbon -
based sorbent materials chemically activated at temperatures between 500 and 800 degrees Celsius (932 to 1472 degrees Fahrenheit) and carefully measured their carbon dioxide - capturing capacities at pressures between 0 and 30 bar.
This carbon dioxide -
free sorbent can be reused for many adsorption and desorption cycles.
The team, led by scientists from Harvard University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, employed a microfluidic assembly technique to produce microcapsules that contain
liquid sorbents, or absorbing materials, encased in highly permeable polymer shells.
The new technique for carbon - capturing employs an abundant and environmentally
benign sorbent: sodium carbonate, which is kitchen - grade baking soda.

Multisorb to show how
sorbent technology helps food products retain freshness and extend shelf life
In addition to low thermal conductivity, these novel aerogels have several unique features, one of which is super high oil absorption capacity — it is up to four times higher than
commercial sorbents available in the market.
And Lewis, was awarded a grant from the Department of Energy to develop
new sorbent materials, or «nano - sponges» that utilize light to open and close nano - sized pores.
They say their company, Global Thermostat (GT), uses
proprietary sorbents that can capture carbon at substantially less cost and with less energy use than scientists have previously assumed.
These laboratories usually carry out an Enzyme - Linked Immuno -
Sorbent Assay (ELISA) on the samples.
«We take a consultative approach, working with our customer from concept to
sorbent dispensing and beyond.
As the World Leader in Active Packaging Technology ™, the company provides
customized sorbent solutions that work to actively regulate the packaging environment.
«We provide the technical support to select the
correct sorbent, provide manufacturing dispenser support and aftermarket support — essentially it is a total systems approach for our customers.»
Until now, no studies have examined sago waste's potential as an oil adsorbent, despite its resemblance to previously studied natural oil
sorbents such as cotton, wool and bark.
The air extraction device, in which
sorbents capture carbon dioxide molecules from free - flowing air and release those molecules as a pure stream of carbon dioxide for sequestration, has met a wide range of performance standards in the GRT research facility.
These typically use a
chemical sorbent, usually lime or limestone, to remove SO2 from the flue gas.
[i]
FGD sorbent is a system used to remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust flue gases of coal units.
b. Climeworks: Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Climeworks is employing a
novel sorbent coupled with a temperature swing to release the captured CO2.
c. Global Thermostat: Based in CA, USA, Global Thermostat is pursuing a DAC technology based on proprietary
amine sorbents with a temperature swing for regeneration.
A breakthrough study conducted by PNNL and researchers from the University of Washington and Oregon Health & Science University shows how using a relatively simple method for engineering nanoparticle heavy -
metal sorbents may lead to an advanced method for eliminating toxic heavy metals from aquatic systems and drinking water.
Two other Columbia University professors who have been working separately from Lackner's group, Peter Eisenberger and Graciela Chichilnisky, also are focused on sieve -
like sorbents as a means for extracting CO2 from air.

Their duties include transporting supplies and assisting with wildlife rescue, but the majority of ships deploy containment and
sorbent boom to collect the oil.

DSI systems generally do not require significant capital expenses, but may rely on significant quantities
of sorbent to operate effectively, which increases the operating costs.
Dry sorbent injection (DSI) is a pollution control technology that may play a role in the United States» electric power sector's compliance with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).
The costs of the equipment needed to control acid and toxic metal emissions, such as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and dry
sorbent injection (DSI), play a significant role in retrofitting and retirement decisions faced by coal plant operators.
NiDOBDC, MOF - 5, and other members of this new class of framework -
based sorbents are extremely porous.
The new technique employs an abundant and environmentally
benign sorbent: sodium carbonate, which is kitchen - grade baking soda.
At the conclusion of his talk, he mentioned his interest in pursuing other
magnetic sorbents, such as magnetic ionic liquids.
One particularly attractive possibility that has been proposed involves using an «exchange resin»
sorbent which binds CO2 when dry and releases it when wet.
