A cartridge comprising layers of adsorbent sheet is described. The cartridge includes an indicator that characterizes the consumption state of the adsorbent within the cartridge. The indicator is applied in a way such that discrete areas of indicator are visible. These discontinuous areas of indicator may be applied to the outside surface of the cartridge. Alternatively, the discontinuous areas may be formed by cutting windows in the outermost layer of the cartridge and either coating indicator on the layer beneath the window, placing an indicator layer between the window and the layer beneath it or filling the window with an indicating plug of material so that the indicator is visible from the outside of the cartridge. The indicator layer and indicator plug embodiments allow the use of any indicator with any adsorbent.

A liquid chromatography system and method utilizes a mobile phase comprising liquified compressible gas and miscible organic solvents. The compressible fluid may be carbon dioxide (CO2). Liquid CO2 tapped from an existing source is depressurized through a flow control metering station before adding solvent. The mobile phase flows through a sample vessel containing analytes and chromatography column for sample separation. A back pressure regulator maintains a set elution pressure in the chromatography column. CO2 advantageously remains in liquid phase for elution in the column, thereby avoiding two-phase conditions adversely affecting analyte resolution. An equilibration bypass flow loop may be provided to separate normal sample elution from initial CO2 flow equilibration, thereby allowing rapid exchange of samples with minimal downtime. System CO2 pressures less than 100 bar and room temperature may be used during the process, thereby obviating the need for high pressure pumps and chillers of supercritical fluid chromatography.

A curable composition includes a hygroscopic salt comprising a metal-organic framework comprising a cluster comprising zirconium and a positively charged organic ligand and an anion, to an encapsulation part having excellent anti-moisture and optical properties.

Disclosed are MOFs containing nucleophilic transition metal hydroxide (M-OH) groups. In certain embodiments, these MOFs can include a plurality of metal ions, each coordinated with one or more hydroxide ligands and one or more backbone ligands. In certain embodiments, the MOFs can comprise Kuratowski cluster-based secondary building units (SBUs). These MOFs can exhibit excellent performance for low pressure CO.sub.2 capture via a CO.sub.2/HCO.sub.3.sup.− fixation mechanism in which cooperative inter-cluster hydrogen bonding interactions enhance CO.sub.2 capture performance. Also provided are methods of making MOFs including one or more metal hydroxide moieties, as well as methods of using these MOFs to capture an acidic gas (e.g., CO.sub.2, SO.sub.2, NO.sub.2, or acetylene).

A method for manufacturing an adsorption agent for treating compressed gas, which includes the steps of providing a monolithic supporting structure; producing a coating suspension that includes an adsorbent; applying the coating suspension on the supporting structure to form a coating; applying a thermal treatment to the coated supporting structure in order to sinter the coating.

A metal-organic framework of the present disclosure includes tetravalent Group IV element ions or rare earth ions as metal ions, first ions of organic molecules having a trimesic acid framework as tridentate ligands, and second ions of organic molecules having a heterocycle and two carboxy groups as bidentate ligands.

Disclosed are an organic semiconductor compound that exhibits chemical resistance and etch resistance while maintaining electrical characteristics and thus is applicable to an existing photolithography process, thereby increasing process efficiency, and an organic semiconductor device using the same.

An organic light emitting display device may include a filling part filling a space between a second substrate and an organic light emitting diode, and a dam structure disposed in a non-display area and surrounding the filling part. At least one of the dam structure and the filling part includes a getter. The getter of the present disclosure is composed of magnesium oxide particles whose surfaces are modified into a first surface modification part made of an amino silane-based compound and a second surface modification part bound to the first surface modification part and made of a compound containing an acrylate group and a methacrylate group. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an organic light emitting display device that has high transparency and of which optical properties and durability are improved by minimizing permeation of water and oxygen.
