The present invention relates, inter alia, to the use of porous crystalline solids constituted of a metal-organic framework (MOF) for the selective adsorption of aldehyde volatile organic compounds.

The MOF solids of the present invention can be used for the improved purification of dry or humid air, and for the manufacture of regenerable filters for air purification, particularly leak-free regenerable air filters.

Disclosed herein are supramolecular porous organic nanocomposites for heterogenous photocatalysis as well as methods of making and using the same. The nanocomposite comprises an admixture of a polymeric matrix and a macrocycle.

Sorptive gas separators can employ contactors having various sorbents blended together. The various sorbents used to make a blended sorbent contactor can be selected for their various physical and chemical properties, which will allow operators to customize formulations and structural configurations to obtain optimum performance of sorptive gas separators using blended sorbents.

Disclosed are embodiments of a cabin filter system including a sorbent material for removing gas and/or water from a cabin. The filter system also includes at least one heater configured to transmit thermal energy (e.g., microwave energy) to the sorbent material. Also disclosed are methods of using such filter systems.

A gas-absorbing material that contains amino group-having polymer compound particles and fine particles having a primary particle diameter of 1000 nm or less is a gas-absorbing material having a markedly higher gas absorption/desorption speed. Here, as the polymer compound of the amino group-having polymer compound particles, for example, a (meth)acrylamide polymer can be used, and as the fine particles, for example, water-repellent inorganic particles or fluororesin particles can be used.

A hazardous gas purification device with a built-in purification system is disclosed. The disclosed present invention is characterized in that it comprises a body case provided with an intake port for sucking hazardous gas on the upper side, provided with an exhaust port for discharging purified air to the outside on the lower side, and provided with an accommodating part provided between the intake port and the exhaust port on the inside; a pre-filter for filtering out large particles of dust and foreign substances contained in the hazardous gas introduced through the intake port; and a modular purification system, in a state of being installed in the accommodating part, for sterilizing viruses while filtering hazardous substances and fine particulate foreign substances contained in the hazardous gas introduced through the intake port, wherein the purification system consists of a three-dimensional filter for three-dimensionally filtering volatile organic compounds contained in the hazardous gas passed through the pre-filter from four directions; a pressure-feed fan, in a state of being disposed below the three-dimensional filter, for sucking hazardous gas through the intake port and forcibly discharging purified air through the exhaust port; a UV lamp disposed below the pressure-feed fan and for irradiating the pressure-feed fan and the hazardous gas with ultraviolet rays to sterilize harmful viruses; a HEPA filter disposed below the UV lamp and for filtering fine particles in the hazardous gas that is not filtered by the pre-filter; and a flat plate filter disposed below the HEPA filter and for filtering the remaining amount of volatile organic compounds that are not filtered by the three-dimensional filter.

A sorbent article is described including a plurality of sorbent elements structured to adsorb and desorb CO.sub.2 and a plurality of hydrophobic elements mixed with the plurality of sorbent elements and structured to exert hydrophobic force to expel liquid water from the sorbent article. Also described herein are methods of forming such sorbent articles for the purpose of swing adsorption, including for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide.
