The present invention provides a covalent-organic framework (COF) body, populations of such bodies, a method for manufacturing a covalent-organic framework (COF) body, and (a) a gas storage system or a gas separation system comprising a gas storage vessel and a population of such COF bodies. The COF body comprises a plurality of primary COF particles, some or all of the primary COF particles being agglomerated as COF agglomerates. The average diameter of the primary COF particles is between nm and 120 nm, and the average diameter of the agglomerates is larger than the average diameter of the primary COF particles and between 15 nm and 250 nm. By careful control over particle size distribution during the formation of the COF material, it is possible (b) to form COF materials into high bulk density shapes and forms which are industrially useful and practical without losing sorbent performance.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a carbon dioxide absorbent and to the absorbent manufactured by the method. The method comprises: (A) a step of preparing a slurry composition including a carrier composition containing a support, an inorganic binder, and a solvent; (B) a step of preparing solid particles by spray drying the thus-prepared slurry composition; (C) a step of manufacturing a carrier by dry calcining the thus-prepared solid particles; and (D) a step of receiving an amine compound into the pores of the thus-manufactured carrier. According to the absorbent of the present invention, an absorbing reaction and a regenerating reaction at a low temperature range (less than or equal to 100° C. may be conducted, and therefore, the cost for capturing CO.sub.2 in a dry capturing process may be expected to decrease.

The invention provides a process to purify a gas stream by using an adsorbent bed and a secondary device to remove heavy hydrocarbons with a recycle stream then sent first to a vessel containing an amine solvent to remove acid gases including carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide and then in most embodiments of the invention sending the treated gas stream to a dehydration unit such as an adsorbent bed or to a triethylene glycol absorbent to remove water. The invention further provides improved integration of the process streams to allow for smaller amine solvent and dehydration units as compared to the prior art.
