The present invention is directed to a method, device and system to capture carbon dioxide in air using solid amine sorbents and using a radio frequency and/or microwave generator to desorb the carbon dioxide by directly exciting the amine-carbon bond thereby significantly reducing the energy cost of releasing the carbon dioxide.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for removing formaldehyde from indoor air. Some embodiments include flowing an indoor airflow over and/or through a solid supported amine filtering medium, such that, at least a portion of formaldehyde entrained in the indoor airflow is removed therefrom. Some other embodiments include systems having one or more fans for providing velocity to one and/or another airflows (e.g., airflows to/from a formaldehyde filter).

The invention belongs to the field of eliminating pollutant gases. In particular, the invention belongs to the field of pollutant gas-absorbing material such as CO2, SO2, NOx and VOCs.

The present invention relates to a fresh composite or composite paste and a composite material comprising aggregates of recycled concrete, porous carbon, a binder and optionally water, as well as to the method for manufacturing the composite and the use thereof for sanitizing air (indoor or outdoor). The invention also relates to an article (for example, an anti-noise wall, a tunnel lining, an indoor decoration, an item of street furniture, etc.) comprising the composite according to the invention.

The present invention relates yolk-shell nanoparticles having both a high stability towards sintering and high H.sub.25 adsorption capacities, the use of the yolk-shell nanoparticles in a method for H.sub.2S removal from gas streams, and a corresponding method for H.sub.2S removal from gas streams also comprising the regeneration of the yolk-shell nanoparticles, wherein the yolk-shell nanoparticles provide for high H.sub.2 adsorption capacities and/or high reusability.

Fiber compositions are provided that incorporate metal organic framework (MOF) materials into the polymeric matrix of the fiber. The metal organic framework materials can be incorporated by including MOF particles into a “dope” or synthesis solution used to form the fiber. The dope solution can then be used to form fibers that include 5.0 wt % or more of MOF in the resulting polymeric structural material of the fiber, relative to a weight of the fibers. In some aspects, the metal organic framework material can correspond to a MOF with selectivity for adsorption of CO.sub.2.

Contactor structures are provided that can allow for improved heat management while reducing or minimizing the potential for contamination of process gas streams with heat transfer fluids. The contactor structures can include one or more sets of flow channels for process gas flows, such as gas flows introduced to allow adsorption of components from a gas stream or gas flows introduced to facilitate desorption of previously adsorbed components into a purge gas stream. The process gas flow channels can correspond to flow channels defined by a structural material of unitary structure. The unitary structure can correspond to the entire contactor, or the unitary structure can correspond to a monolith that forms a portion of the contactor. The contactor structures can also include one or more sets of flow channels for heat transfer fluids. The heat transfer flow channels can also be defined by the structural material of a unitary structure.

The present invention relates to an adsorbent comprising an alumina support and at least one alkali element, said adsorbent being obtained by introducing at least one alkali element, identical to or different from sodium, onto an alumina support the sodium content of which, expressed as Na.sub.2O equivalent, before the introduction of the alkali element or elements, is comprised between 1000 and 5000 ppm by weight with respect to the total weight of the support. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of said adsorbent and use thereof in a process for the elimination of acidic molecules such as COS and/or CO.sub.2.

A composition for use in brine formation comprising a deliquescent desiccant, urea, and an optional component selected from the group consisting of starch, citric acid, clay, glucose, and a combination thereof. Methods of making and using the composition are provided. The composition may be pressed into tablet form. The composition may be used in a dehumidifying device.

Provided is a preparation method and use method of a material for deep purification of HF electronic gas. A metal fluoride-loaded activated carbon material AC/MFx.nH20 is prepared, and a mixed gas flow of carbonyl fluoride and high-purity nitrogen is used to deeply dehydrate the material to obtain the material for deep purification of HF electronic gas AC/MFx. This kind of material has fluoride that can form crystal water to form hydrated metal fluoride, and has strong water absorption properties. Moreover, the anhydrous fluoride and activated carbon do not have to face the problem of being corroded by HF, and the collapse of framework structure and the secondary pollution to HF from reaction products would not be caused. The material has the advantages of high purity and extremely low moisture content when being used for efficiently removing moisture in HF.
