An adsorbent having a microwave absorption property is provided. The adsorbent having an improved microwave absorption property, which has a core-shell structure including a silicon carbide bead disposed therein, and an adsorbing material disposed outside the silicon carbide bead, can be provided. Also, the adsorbent may further include a plurality of silicon carbide particles dispersed and disposed therein and having a diameter of 1 μm to 10 μm, and the adsorbing material may be ion-exchanged with a cation. Therefore, the adsorbent can be useful in improving desorption efficiency since the adsorbent may be rapidly heated by microwaves to reach the desorption temperature due to high reactivity to microwaves. Also, the adsorbent can be useful in maintaining full adsorption capacity without having an influence on adsorption quantity since the silicon carbide bead is disposed in the inner core of the adsorbent. Further, when the adsorbent is applied to conventional systems for removing organic compounds using microwaves or dehumidification systems, the adsorbent can be semi-permanently used, and may also have an effect of enhancing the energy efficiency by 30% or more, compared to adsorbents used in the conventional systems.

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.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a high cohesive energy adsorbent for fluoride removal, which includes the following steps: S1. adding NaHF.sub.2—NiF.Math.6H.sub.2O additive to SiCO ceramic powder, and sintering at a temperature of 310-330° C. for 18-22h to obtain a sintered substance; S2. grinding the sintered substance to obtain particles with a size of 2-3 mm, and mixing the particles with polyacrylonitrile to form a composite polymer; and S3. molding the composite polymer by a vacuum baking process at a temperature of 75-85° C., then performing ball milling and sieving to obtain the high cohesive energy adsorbent for fluoride removal.

Methods making a metal-organic framework extrudate in an extruder comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a metal-organic framework material with an extrusion aid to form a metal-organic framework extrudate mixture; and (b) extruding the metal-organic framework mixture in the extruder to produce the metal-organic framework extrudate where the pressure within the extruder is reduced between about 10% to about 55% when compared to pressure within the extruder when extruding the metal-organic framework material without the extrusion aid. The extrusion aid can be a liquid extrusion aid, a solid extrusion aid and/or a polymeric extrusion aid.

A gas-absorbing material that contains amino group-having polymer compound particles and fine particles having a primary particle diameter of 1000 nm or less is a gas-absorbing material having a markedly higher gas absorption/desorption speed. Here, as the polymer compound of the amino group-having polymer compound particles, for example, a (meth)acrylamide polymer can be used, and as the fine particles, for example, water-repellent inorganic particles or fluororesin particles can be used.
