The chromatography of porcine pepsin on biospecific sorbents (Sepharose-4B-epsilon-DNP-aminocapronylhydrazide and Sepharose-4B-N-DNP-N'-acetylhexamethylenediamine) was studied. The sorbents in question differ from the previously used hydrophobic sorbent Sepharose-4B-DNP-hexamethylenediamine by the lack of strongly basic groups in the site of the ligand binding to the polymeric matrix. No qualitative differences in the pepsin chromatography on the three sorbents were observed. Presumably the decrease of the pepsin binding to the sorbents, containing the dinitrophenyl group, at pH values above the isoelectric point may be due to the effects of the salt on the binding site in the enzyme molecule rather than to the screening of the positive charges of the sorbent by chlorine ions. A commercial preparation of pepsin was purified 2-fold on the sorbent Sepharose-4B-epsilon-DNP-animocapronylhydrazide. The synthesis of sorbents is described.

Methane (CH), which is the main component of natural gas, is an abundant and widely available carbon resource. However, CH has a low energy density of only 36 kJ L under ambient conditions, which is significantly lower than that of gasoline (. 34 MJ L).

Increasing demand for high-purity fine chemicals and a drive for process intensification of large-scale separations have driven significant work on the development of highly engineered porous materials with promise for sorption-based separations. While sorptive separations in porous materials offer energy-efficient alternatives to longstanding thermal-based methods, the particulate nature of many of these sorbents has sometimes limited their large-scale deployment in high-throughput applications such as gas separations, for which the necessary high feed flow rates and gas velocities accrue prohibitive operational costs. These processability limitations have been historically addressed through powder shaping methods aimed at the fabrication of structured sorbent contactors based on pellets, beads or monoliths, commonly obtained as extrudates.

In this study, we evaluated 1) the potential ability of sorbents to adsorb Cs desorbed from contaminated riverine particles that had been introduced into seawater, and 2) the rates of desorption of Cs from weak and strong sorption sites. We performed particle-seawater desorption experiments to simulate the mixing of riverine particles with seawater and used a kinetic model to simulate results. We tested two sorbent agents: beach sand collected from less contaminated coast and zeolite.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmentally persistent contaminants that are often referred to as "Forever Chemicals". They are used in industrial and household products; however, they are resistant to degradation. Thus, PFAS contamination has become a wide-spread issue.

Efficient enrichment of analytes and purification of matrices are crucial for the highly sensitive detection and monitoring of pesticides in traditional Chinese herbs. This work prepared magnetic ionic liquid-controlled covalent organic framework (IL-COF@FeO) as the sorbent via a simple in-situ precipitation polymerization and thiolene "click" strategy. The IL-COF@FeO exhibited remarkable adsorption performance towards pyrethroids within 5 min.
