Abstract: Methods and systems for capture of CO2 from a hydrated gaseous stream are described. Systems can be utilized for direct air capture of CO2 and incorporate a low energy temperature-vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) process. A TVSA process can include a multi-step CO2 capture bed regeneration process that includes depressurization of the bed, heating of the bed, venting and purging of the bed, and cooling of the bed. Multiple beds can be cycled between CO2 capture and regeneration, during which captured CO2 is recovered. Off-gas from a CO2 capture bed can be used in regenerating a parallel bed for increased efficiency.

Abstract: A hydrogen storage material having improved hydrogen absorbtion and desorption kinetics is provided by adding graphite to a complex hydride such as a metal-doped alanate, i.e., NaAlH4. The incorporation of graphite into the complex hydride significantly enhances the rate of hydrogen absorbtion and desorption and lowers the desorption temperature needed to release stored hydrogen.

Abstract: A sequential dosing medicament for topical treatment of fungal infections comprising a first pharmaceutical composition having an antifungal agent and an antiinflammatory agent, e.g. a steroid, a second separate pharmaceutical composition having only an antifungal agent as the active ingtredient. Also a method for such sequential dosing, particularly using oxiconazole as the antifungal agent and fluticasone as the steroid.
