Natural gas adsorptive separation system and method
A natural gas adsorptive separation system and method is described. A method of separating natural gas includes directing a natural gas mixture through an activated carbon adsorption tower until the adsorption tower is saturated, collecting methane from the output of the adsorption tower, heating the saturated carbon adsorption tower with adsorbate using a heater and/or a vacuum pump in a closed loop circuit with the carbon adsorption tower until the input to the vacuum pump is within a specified temperature of the output of the heater, lowering the pressure in the heated activated carbon adsorption tower using the vacuum pump to desorb at least one hydrocarbon compound of the plurality of different hydrocarbon compounds, compressing and cooling the desorbed hydrocarbon compound, separating the cooled and compressed hydrocarbon compound into gas and liquid in a fluid separator, and collecting the liquid from the fluid separator.

Device for the Combined Reduction of the Carbon Dioxide and Water or Moisture Content, Motor Vehicle, and Method
A device for reducing a carbon dioxide and water content in an enclosed air volume has first and second sorption units for sorbing carbon dioxide and water. The first and second sorption units can be transferred from a sorption mode into a desorption mode and vice versa. In the sorption mode, the first and second sorption units sorb carbon dioxide and water from raw air of the enclosed air volume. In the desorption mode, the first and second desorption units desorb carbon dioxide and water to supplied regeneration air. An air distribution device can switch the first and second sorption units, based on the carbon dioxide and water content, alternately from sorption mode into desorption mode such that, in at least one operating state of the device, one of the first and second sorption units is in sorption mode while the other is in desorption mode.
Honeycomb adsorption object and a dehumidification air conditioner using it
A dehumidification air conditioner reduces carbon dioxide levels in a low humidity workroom. Cooling dehumidification is performed on outdoor air in a pre-air-cooler to produce pre-cooled air, which is branched such that a first part passes through a processing zone of an adsorption rotor which can remove carbon dioxide and humidity simultaneously, and a second part passes through a purge zone of the adsorption rotor. Air which passed through the processing zone is supplied to a low humidity workroom. Air which passed though the purge zone of the adsorption rotor is mixed with outdoor air and then heated with a reproduction heater to produce heated air. The heated air is sent to a reproduction zone of the adsorption rotor, to simultaneously remove carbon dioxide and humidity from the adsorption rotor and produce an exhaust stream which exhausted out of the device.
