Fast-growing energy demands and the depletion of conventional fuel resources such as crude oil coal are among most recent issues treating world's security. Gaseous carriers methane hydrogen seem promising abundant alternative resources. However, these gasses' low volumetric density makes their storage cost extensive. High-pressure gas inside porous materials carbons is considered one way to tac...

As an extracorporeal technique for blood purification, haemoadsorption was introduced in the early 1960s along with other physico-chemical methods. The problem of poor biocompatibility of uncoated adsorbents was resolved by coating adsorbent granules with haemocompatible membranes. Use of coated adsorbents instead of uncoated ones reduces the efficiency of haemoperfusion. As a result, for many ...

Aflatoxins (AF) are a class of mycotoxins that impair poultry health and performance by causing immune suppression, liver damage, and changes in serum chemistry. The toxic effects of AF can be efficiently counteracted by some adsorbents. The aim of this study was to investigate fully characterized clay adsorbents in a feeding trial with broiler chickens to correlate in vitro and in vivo AF deto...

One of the most significant advances in ion exchange resin and adsorbent technology has been the development of the macroreiicular pore structure. Various synthetic routes have been developed for preparing both ion exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents of high surface area and pore volume. Further, the synthesis has been developed to a degree such that the surface area and pore parameters ca...

Thermo-responsive adsorbents for immunoglobulin G (IgG) employing ε-polylysine (EPL) as a polymer backbone were developed. The introduction of mercaptoethylpyridine (MEP) as an IgG-binding ligand and hydrophobization of side chains afforded thermo-responsive IgG adsorbents, whose thermo-responsive IgG desorption ratio was up to 88% (EPL/MEP derivative 3m). The changes in surface densities of ac...

Alternative adsorbents like Activated charcoal, modified activated charcoal, wheat bran, activated neem leaf powder and groundnut shell powder were used as adsorbents for effective removal of Cr (VI) ions and thus a comparative study between the adsorbents are presented. Waste water containing Cr (VI) ions was treated with all adsorbents for a calculated amount of time. Further, filtration was ...

*Correspondence: Yuhan Sun, Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100 Haike Road, Zhangjiang, Pudong, Shanghai 201203, China e-mail: [email protected] CO2 capture represents the key technology for CO2 reduction within the framework of CO2 capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). In fact, the implementation of CO2 capture extends far beyond CCUS since it will link th...

The aim of our study was to determine the efficacy of three different adsorbents, inorganic (modified zeolite), organic (esterified glucomannans) and mixed (inorganic and organic components, with the addition of enzymes), in protecting broilers from the toxic effects of ochratoxin A in feed. Broilers were fed diets containing 2 mg/kg of ochratoxin A (OTA) and supplemented with adsorbents at the...
