Provided herein are water harvesting systems, as well as methods of making and using such systems, for capturing water from surrounding air using a design that reduces overall energy costs of the systems and improve water harvesting cycle efficiency. The systems and methods use sorbent materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, to adsorb water from the air. The systems and methods desorb this water in the form of water vapor, and the water vapor is condensed into liquid water and collected. The liquid water is suitable for use as drinking water.

Method for drying compressed gas by means of a drying device with an inlet for the compressed gas to be dried and an outlet for the dried compressed gas. The drying device includes at least two vessels filled with a regenerable desiccant and an adjustable valve system including a first valve block and a second valve block that connects the inlet, respectively outlet, to the vessels. The adjustable valve system is being regulated as such that at least one vessel will dry compressed gas, while the other vessel will be regenerated and cooled successively, wherein by regulation of the valve system the vessels will each in turn dry compressed gas. The method includes calculating the time period (t.sub.ads) during which a vessel (2) dries compressed gas, calculated on the basis of a (t.sub.ads) formula t.sub.ads=A*B.

The present invention discloses a novel multipurpose fast dehumidification device, in which materials with different functions can be placed simultaneously or separately, such as moisture absorption materials, aromatic materials, mosquito repelling (insect repelling) materials or deodorization materials. The present invention comprises a base, a placement frame and a circulation mechanism One end of the placement frame is movably connected with the base, and the other end of the placement frame is movably connected with the circulation mechanism; and the moisture absorption materials are placed in the placement frame. After the device is started, air in an environment is sucked by the circulation mechanism, then reaches the placement frame, and then is discharged from the placement frame after being dehumidified. The present invention has the beneficial effects that the structure is simple, and the use is convenient; the complicated structure of a traditional dehumidifier is abandoned, and the cost of a product is reduced to a maximum degree; at the same time, a single dehumidification function is expanded, which can play a role in different use scenes. That is, besides the dehumidification function, functions of atmosphere creation, mosquito repelling (insect repelling), deodorization and the like can also be realized.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of making ammonia using stable ammonia absorbents. The system and method for producing ammonia, comprises a reactor comprising a catalyst that converts at least a portion of nitrogen feed gas and at least a portion of hydrogen feed gas to ammonia (NH3) forming a reaction mixture comprising the ammonia, unreacted nitrogen, and unreacted hydrogen. An absorber configured to selectively absorb ammonia from the reaction mixture at a temperature of about 180 deg. C. to 330 deg. C. and a pressure of about 1-20 bar, the absorber comprising a solid absorbent. Preferably the solid absorbent is at least one metal halide and a solid support. The unabsorbed ammonium, the unreacted nitrogen, and unreacted hydrogen gas are recycled to the reactor.

An air purification system includes a conduit extending between an inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with an enclosed environment. Ambient air from the enclosed environment enters the conduit via the inlet and treated air exits the conduit and enters the enclosed environment via the outlet. The system further includes a fibrous filter disposed within the conduit and configured to treat the ambient air thereby generating the treated air, and a renewal unit disposed within the conduit and configured to renew the fibrous filter.

A system and method for capturing volatile organic components from a liner curing process for pipes. The system receives steam exhausted from the liner. The steam is used for curing a curable material in the liner, but volatilizes organic components in the resin carried along with the steam. The system removes some water and passes the remaining vaporized constituents through a filter selected to capture the particular volatile organic component from the steam.

Some embodiments of the disclosure correspond to, for example, a method for controlling a scrubber containing an adsorbent. The scrubber may be configured to cycle between scrubbing at least one pollutant/gas from a stream of gases with the pollutant/gas being adsorbed onto the adsorbent, and regenerating at least some of the adsorbent and thereby purging at least some of the one pollutant and/or first gas from the adsorbent via a regeneration gas flow. The method may include flowing a stream of gases through the scrubber, the scrubber including the adsorbent and adsorbing at least some of the one pollutant/gas from the stream of gases onto the adsorbent during an adsorption phase over a first time period. The method may also include purging at least a portion of the one pollutant/gas from the adsorbent during a regeneration phase over a second time period with a regeneration gas flow, and cycling therebetween.
