Systems and methods are provided for integrating direct air capture of carbon dioxide with capture of carbon dioxide from a point source. The systems and methods can include exposing an adsorbent to a low CO.sub.2 content gas flow (e.g., air) at conditions similar to ambient conditions to perform an initial amount of sorption of CO.sub.2. The initial sorption results in a partially loaded sorbent having a first sorbent loading. The partially loaded sorbent can then be exposed to a flue gas and/or other gas flow that contains a higher CO.sub.2 content. This allows a second sorption step to be performed using a higher CO.sub.2 content gas, resulting in an additionally loaded sorbent having a second (higher) sorbent loading. The sorbed CO.sub.2 can then be desorbed from the sorbent.

A method for removing contaminants from an process stream that includes the use of reticulated material to filter the process stream. The reticulated material also facilitate process stream flow distribution in process units. The reticulated material can be packed with a void space between a substantial number of the reticulated material that can be varied to enhance filtration and flow distribution. The method of filtering also provides a method of removing contaminants leaving process equipment. The methods can be used on a variety of process streams and process equipment. The reticulated material can include ceramics, metallic materials, and chemical vapor deposition elements. The reticulated material can be of various shapes and sizes, and can also be catalytically active.

Systems and processes for use of concentric adsorbent beds with rotary valve assemblies are provided.

The present invention discloses methods for extracting and recycling hydrogen in an MOCVD process by FTrPSA. Through pretreatment, fine deamination, PSA hydrogen extraction, deep dehydration and hydrogen purification procedures, ammonia-containing waste hydrogen from an MOCVD process is purified to meet the electronic-level hydrogen (the purity is greater than or equal to 99.99999% v/v) standard required by the MOCVD process, to implement resource reuse of exhaust gases, where the hydrogen yield is greater than or equal to 75-86%. The present invention solves the technical problem that atmospheric-pressure or low-pressure waste hydrogen from MOCVD processes cannot be returned to the MOCVD processes for use after being recycled, and fills the gap in green and circular economy development of the LED industry.
