The present description provides low DBL bleed emission performance properties that allows the design of evaporative fuel emission control systems that are simpler and more compact than those possible by prior art by inclusion of a vent-side volume comprising a parallel passage adsorbent such as a carbon honeycomb with narrow channel width and low cell pitch.

Zinc oxide-based sorbents, and processes for preparing and using them are provided, wherein the sorbents are preferably used to remove one or more reduced sulfur species from gas streams. The sorbents contain an active zinc component, optionally in combination with one or more promoter components and/or one or more substantially inert components. The active zinc component is a two-phase material, consisting essentially of a zinc oxide (ZnO) phase and a zinc aluminate (ZnAl.sub.2O.sub.4) phase. Each of the two phases is characterized by a relatively small crystallite size of typically less than about 50 nm (500 Angstroms). Preferably the sorbents are prepared by using an alkali metal base to convert a precursor mixture, containing a precipitated zinc oxide precursor and a precipitated aluminum oxide precursor, to the two-phase, active zinc oxide containing component, with the resulting sorbent having a sodium level within a desired range.

Methods for forming a carbon molecular sieve includes loading polymer fibers into a mold and heating the mold containing the polymer fibers to a temperature in a range from 50 ° C. to 350 ° C. to form a polymer monolith. The polymer monolith is then pyrolized by heating to a temperature in a range from 500 ° C. to 1700 ° C. A carbon molecular sieve monolith includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and carbon molecular sieve fibers aligned in parallel from the first end of the carbon molecular sieve monolith to the second end of the carbon molecular sieve monolith. Channels extend from the first end of the carbon molecular sieve monolith to the second end of the carbon molecular sieve monolith, and outer surfaces of the carbon molecular sieve fibers are joined. The carbon molecular sieve monolith has a cell density of greater than 500 cells per square inch.

Primary, secondary (1°,2°) alkylethylenediamine- and alkylpropylenediamine-appended variants of metal-organic framework are provided for CO.sub.2 capture applications. Increasing the size of the alkyl group on the secondary amine enhances the stability to diamine volatilization from the metal sites. Two-step adsorption/desorption profiles are overcome by minimzing steric interactions between adjacent ammonium carbamate chains. For instance, the isoreticularly expanded framework Mg.sub.2(dotpdc) (dotpdc.sup.4−=4,4″-dioxido-[1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl]-3,3″-dicarboxylate), yields diamine-appended adsorbents displaying a single CO.sub.2 adsorption step. Further, use of the isomeric framework Mg-IRMOF-74-II or Mg.sub.2(pc-dobpdc) (pc-dobpdc.sup.4−=3,3-dioxidobiphenyl-4,4-dicarboxylate, pc=para-carboxylate) also leads to a single CO.sub.2 adsorption step with bulky diamines. By relieving steric interactions between adjacent ammonium carbamate chains, these frameworks enable step-shaped CO.sub.2 adsorption, decreased water co-adsorption, and increased stability to diamine loss. Variants of Mg.sub.2(dotpdc) and Mg.sub.2(pc-dobpdc) functionalized with large diamines such as N-(n-heptyl)ethylenediamine have utility as adsorbents for carbon capture applications.
