A gas-absorbing material that contains amino group-having polymer compound particles and fine particles having a primary particle diameter of 1000 nm or less is a gas-absorbing material having a markedly higher gas absorption/desorption speed. Here, as the polymer compound of the amino group-having polymer compound particles, for example, a (meth)acrylamide polymer can be used, and as the fine particles, for example, water-repellent inorganic particles or fluororesin particles can be used.

The disclosure provides a method and a system for processing concrete granulate for subsequent recycling of the concrete granulate. In the method, a container of the system is filled with concrete granulate, said container being gas-tight at least in some regions. Subsequently, gas comprising CO2 is fed, continuously or noncontinously, according to a level of CO2 absorption by the concrete granulate in the container, said level being determined by means of at least one sensor. After a predefined CO2 saturation of the concrete granulate has been detected, the concrete granulate, which have been enriched with CO2, are removed.

A dry gas scrubber is disclosed. The dry gas scrubber is for treatment of an effluent stream and comprises: a chamber having an inlet for receiving the effluent stream, a cooler coupled with the inlet and configured to cool the effluent stream, and a resin chamber downstream of the cooler and configured to receive the effluent stream for treatment. In this way, the cooler is interposed between the process tool and the resin chamber and operates to cool the effluent stream prior to its being delivered to the resin chamber. Cooling the effluent stream in this way helps to improve the performance of the resin, even when the effluent stream is at an elevated temperature.

An apparatus for a dry gas scrubber includes: a cooling chamber defined by a housing having an inlet for receiving an effluent stream for treatment by the dry gas scrubber, an outlet for providing the effluent stream for treatment by the dry gas scrubber, and at least one cooling plate within the chamber, the cooling plate being thermally coupled with the housing and configured to deviate a direction of flow of the effluent stream when flowing from the inlet to the outlet. In this way, the cooling chamber is interposed between the process tool and the resin chamber of the dry gas scrubber and operates to cool the effluent stream prior to its being delivered to the resin chamber.

Provided herein are metal organic frameworks comprising metal nodes and N-donor organic ligands which have high selectivity and stability in the present of gases and vapors including H.sub.2S, H.sub.2O, and CO.sub.2. Methods include capturing one or more of H.sub.2S, H.sub.2O, and CO.sub.2 from fluid compositions, such as natural gas.

A composite material is provided comprising a porous polymeric matrix having metal-organic framework (MOF) domains dispersed within the porous polymeric matrix, each of said MOF domains in fluid communication with the external environment through the pores in the porous polymeric matrix. A process of using the composite material to chemically modify or detoxify a chemical warfare agent or a toxic industrial chemical is also provided. The chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical is brought into contact with a MOF domain within the porous polymeric matrix so that the MOFs adsorb and chemically modify the chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical. A process for producing such a composite material is also disclosed.

A method for forming an amine-functionalized solid CO.sub.2 sorbent for carbon capture may include providing a support material and applying at least one cycle of molecular layer deposition (MLD) with an amine precursor onto the surface of the support material. An amine layer formed on the support material contains amine groups/amine-containing ligands to adsorb CO.sub.2 onto the support material in a low temperature operating window for adsorption and desorption without the loss of active sites.
