The present disclosure concerns systems and sorbents for the removal of carbon dioxide from ambient air. In some aspects, the system includes a wind collector, a body and an outlet. The body has a monolith or platforms dispersed therein, surfaces of which are at least partially coated in a sorbent, such that passing ambient air that contacts the sorbent, thereby allowing for the removal of carbon dioxide therefrom. Sorbents of the present disclosure include substrates that are hybrids of a silica, optionally with a carbonaceous material, and an epoxy-modified aminopolymer.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a filter which remove acidic gas in the atmosphere with high efficiency and has excellent water resistance. A filter comprising: an aluminium substrate; and an adsorption layer on a surface of the aluminium substrate, wherein the adsorption layer contains activated carbon, a manganese oxide, and an acrylic resin having a pH of 3.0 to 6.5.

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.

A filter element (1) for use in a gas purification device (100) is disclosed. It comprises a substrate (10) and a filter layer (20) covering an exterior surface of the substrate (10). The substrate (10) comprises material for containing chemicals (30) effective to remove gas pollutants from a gas. The material of the filter layer (20) is hydrophilic to adsorb liquid solution adsorbents effective in removing gas pollutants from a gas, and the exterior surface of the substrate (10) covered by the filter layer (20) is hydrophobic.

A cylindrical column-shaped honeycomb adsorbent has a plurality of cell passages extending along an axial direction of the honeycomb adsorbent. The plurality of cell passages are configured so that a pitch of adjacent cell passages is within a range of 1.5 mm˜1.8 mm, and so that a thickness of a wall between the cell passages is within a range of 0.45 mm˜0.60 mm. With this configuration, the honeycomb adsorbent exhibits BWC (Butane Working Capacity) of 6.5 g/dL or greater. By mixing fibrous meltable core melting away during baking, the honeycomb adsorbent has macropores configured to have a volume of 0.15 mL/g˜0.35 mL/g with respect to an overall weight of the honeycomb adsorbent and metal oxide particles having a proportion of weight of 150˜250% with respect to the activated carbon.

A method and system for manufacturing and using a self-supporting structure in processing unit for adsorption or catalytic processes. The self-supporting structure has greater than 50% by weight of the active material in the self-supporting structure to provide an open-celled structure providing access to the active material. The self-supporting structures, which may be disposed in a processing unit, may be used in swing adsorption processes and other processes to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons.

A method of forming a gas treatment element for use in a gas treatment apparatus, such as a desiccant dryer, is disclosed. The element is formed by casting a sheet material by phase inversion of a dope mixture including a solvent, an adsorbent material such as a desiccant and a polymer binder. Layers of the sheet material are located adjacent one another and this is most readily achieved by rolling the sheet material to form the gas treatment element.

The present invention relates, inter alia, to the use of porous crystalline solids constituted of a metal-organic framework (MOF) for the selective adsorption of aldehyde volatile organic compounds.

The MOF solids of the present invention can be used for the improved purification of dry or humid air, and for the manufacture of regenerable filters for air purification, particularly leak-free regenerable air filters.

A system and method for, removing carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide laden gas mixture, the system comprising a group of carbon dioxide removal structures moving along a closed curve track. At one location along the track is located a desorption or regeneration box, into which each capture structure passes in order to be regenerated. The majority of the CO2 removal structures are fed ambient air, or an admixture of ambient air with a minor portion of a flue gas, and exhaust CO2-lean air. At least one selected such removal structure within each group, at a location immediately preceding its entry into the capture structure, is fed a flue gas comprising at least 4% CO2 by volume. A method for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is provided utilizing a system operating in the same manner as the preceding system.

The monolithic open cell structure apparatus also including a filtration portion extending from the first side to the second side within the open cell structure housing. The monolithic open cell structure apparatus further including a retaining partition that at least partially encloses the filtration portion within the open cell structure housing. The monolithic open cell structure apparatus is a single piece including a unitary structure.
