A method of purifying gaseous mixtures, for example ternary or quaternary gaseous mixtures, using a sorbent media comprising two or more sorbent materials. The method involves obtaining a target gas from a gaseous composition comprising the target gas, a first gas and a second gas, and optionally further gases by contacting the gaseous composition with the sorbent media to remove at least some of the first gas and at least some of the second gas from the gaseous composition. The sorbent media comprises at least a first sorbent material and a second sorbent material; wherein the first sorbent material has a higher adsorption selectivity for the first gas than for the target gas; and wherein the second sorbent material has a higher adsorption selectivity for the second gas than for target gas. The method may be particularly useful for the separation of pure ethylene, methane or propylene from such gaseous mixtures. A sorbent media and an apparatus for obtaining a target gas from such a gaseous composition are also disclosed.

Cavitand compositions that comprise void spaces are disclosed. The void spaces may be empty, which means that voids are free of guest molecules or atoms, or the void spaces may comprise guest molecules or atoms that are normally in their gas phase at standard temperature and pressure. These cavitands may be useful for industrial applications, such as the separation or storage of gasses. Novel cavitand compounds are also disclosed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a metal-organic framework composition including a metal-organic framework having an ana topology, the metal-organic framework including one or more metals connected to one or more organic linkers. Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a method of separating chemical species including contacting a metal-organic framework having an ana topology with a flow of paraffins and separating the paraffins.

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.

A method of obtaining water from a liquid composition comprising water, the method comprising: (a) providing a sorbent material; (b) contacting the sorbent material with the liquid composition comprising water; (c) separating the sorbent material and the liquid composition comprising water; and (d) desorbing water from the sorbent material; wherein the sorbent material is a metal-organic material.

This invention relates to a dispersion comprising porous particles dispersed in a liquid phase, wherein the porous particles comprise a zeolite and the liquid phase is a size-excluded liquid. The invention also relates to a method of adsorbing a gas into a liquid, comprising at least the step of bringing the gas into contact with the dispersion. In addition, the invention relates to an assemblage of the dispersion, the zeolite comprising a cavity and a gas contained within the cavity.

The present disclosure provides for a porous gas sorbent monolith with superior gravimetric working capacity and volumetric capacity, a gas storage system including a porous gas sorbent monolith of the present disclosure, methods of making the same, and method for storing a gas.
