A fuel oxidation system including an inlet in fluid communication with an interior of a sealed container, and the sealed container is holding permeated gas released from a pressure vessel within the sealed container. Another inlet is in fluid communication with an environment surrounding the sealed container, and the environment includes oxygen gas (O.sub.2). An oxidation module is in fluid communication with the inlet and the other inlet, and the oxidation module is combining the permeated gas received by the inlet with the oxygen gas (O.sub.2) received by the other inlet to form a preferred substance.

A system and method to supply nitrogen gas is provided. Ambient air is compressed and stored in a storage receiver and then nitrogen is separated from the compressed air in a nitrogen membrane separation unit. The separated nitrogen is stored in a nitrogen storage tank under pressure and released through a pressure control valve. The system is confined to a small footprint and is useful as a nitrogen source where conventional compressed nitrogen tanks are a safety or space issue. Systems to prepare nitrogen infused beverages are also provided.

Slurries and methods of making slurries for modifying and extending relative humidity control ranges. The slurries may include a saturated aqueous salt and one or more other reagents selected to provide a controlled modifiable narrow range of relative humidity. The saturated aqueous salt may be one or more of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium citrate, sodium formate, and/or magnesium chloride, and the one or more other reagents may be one or more of a lactate salt, glycerol, and/or an acetate salt, for example.

A novel dehumidification frame includes a hemispherical cover body movably connected to the top of a supporting part, the supporting part, a base movably connected to the bottom of the supporting part, and a movable rod penetrating into the hemispherical cover body, the supporting part and the base. The hemispherical cover body, the supporting part and the base can rotate around the movable rod. The invention has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to use and attractive in appearance. The cover body, the supporting part and the base can be opened without being disassembled. A window is further arranged so that users can observe and timely remove water absorbed by a dehumidification bag to maintain cleanliness and sanitation.

The use of a palladium-doped zeolite for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds is described wherein the zeolite has a CHA framework type and is polymer-bound. Such zeolites have been found to have particular utility as packaging materials for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds, such as those originating from organic matter.

Compositions and methods for adsorption of a species (e.g., ammonia, water, a halogen) comprising metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are generally provided. In some embodiments, a MOF comprises a plurality of metal ions, each coordinated with at least one ligand comprising at least two unsaturated N-heterocyclic aromatic groups arranged about an organic core.

Process for conditioning a container including a granular material A enabling the adsorption of the nitrogen contained in a feed gas stream, including a step of injecting, into the container, a gas or a gas mixture G such that the adsorption capacity of the material A with respect to G is less than 10 Ncm.sup.3/g at 25 C. and 1 atm.

Electronic device processing assemblies including an EFEM with at least one side storage pod attached thereto. The side storage pod has a side storage pod container. A supply conduit extends between an upper plenum of the EFEM to the side storage pod container. A fan causes purge gas to simultaneously flow into the EFEM chamber and into the side storage pod container. The fan also causes recirculation of the purge gas from the EFEM chamber. Methods of operating EFEMs and EFEMs are also disclosed.

Electronic device processing assemblies including an equipment front end module (EFEM) with at least one side storage pod attached thereto are described. The side storage pod has a side storage container. In some embodiments, an exhaust conduit extends between the chamber and a pod plenum that can contain a chemical filter proximate thereto. A supplemental fan may draw purge gas from the pod plenum through the chemical filter and route the gas through a return duct to an upper plenum of the EFEM. Methods and side storage pods in accordance with these and other embodiments are also disclosed.

A metal-organic framework (MOF) structure comprising at least one metal ion and at least one multidentate organic ligand which is coordinately bonded to said metal ion, and a scaffold.
