A porous material structure and device are described and shown to enhance the mass transfer and/or heat transfer at low pressure drops for removal of certain molecular species from a fluid by adsorption and/or catalytic reaction. The porous structure of active materials comprising packed fine particles of adsorbents or catalysts is encapsulated with a thin membrane to provide large interfacing area with the fluid per unit volume for rapid mass transfer between the porous structure and fluid. The thin membrane also blocks particulate from getting into the porous structure of the active material. For the process involving significant heat of adsorption and/or reaction, the another surface of the porous structure of the active material is encapsulated with a thin non-permeable sheet to interface with a thermal fluid for rapid heat transfer between the porous structure and the thermal fluid. The device can be used for removal of CO.sub.2, moisture, and hydrocarbon molecules from a gas stream with rapid in-situ regeneration. The device can be used for removal of water from water-containing liquid fluids, such as solvents and oils. The device can be used for removal of bacteria, virus, salts, and molecular contaminants from one water simultaneously.

Described are methods, devices, and systems useful for adsorbing organometallic vapor onto solid adsorbent material to remove the organometallic vapor from a gas mixture that contains the organometallic vapor and other vapor, particulate materials, or both.

The present disclosure relates to hydrocarbon emission control systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to substrates coated with hydrocarbon adsorptive coating compositions, air intake systems, and evaporative emission control systems for controlling evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons from motor vehicle engines and fuel systems.

The present invention relates to a water-stable Titanium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) material having a high degree of condensation, i.e. an oxo to Ti ratio (or oxo to metal ratio, in the case of doped Ti-based MOFs) >1.0; a process of preparing same and uses thereof, particularly for heterogeneously catalyzed chemical reactions, for gas storage/separation/purification, for information storage, laser printing or as an oxygen indicator, or as proton conductive material (fuel cells), optoelectronic material (photovoltaic cells including Grtzel cells), as a matrix for encapsulating active principles (medicaments, cosmetics), or else as sensing material.

A composition for gas storage including a mixture of particles of amorphous macroporous organic polymer (MOP) and particles of a metallic organic framework (MOF).

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 minimizing 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.
