Abstract: A high-performance gas adsorbing material includes a monolithic bi-continuous material formed without joints or seams from a sorbent formed predominantly of amine functional groups exclusive of hydrophilic tethers positioned therebetween. For instance, the high-performance gas adsorbing material monolith includes: a. a bi-continuous structure consisting of a sorbent; b. a mixture of at least two different amine-containing input molecules providing porous surfaces inside the structure multiplicity of uniform gas pathways therethrough; c. beta-hydroxy alkyl functional groups accessorizing the sorbent; and, d. different hydrophilic tethers connecting different ones of the beta-hydroxy alkyl functional groups e. wherein the bi-continuous structure is predominantly alkyl amine functional groups exclusive of the different hydrophilic tethers.

Abstract: A gas desorption apparatus includes a central desorption chamber defining an interior portion adapted for heating, an inlet airlock coupled to chamber, a pump system coupled to each interior portion of the chamber and the inlet airlock and operable to create a pressure equivalency between the interior portions, and a channel disposed between the interior portion of the desorption chamber and an adsorbate storage chamber. The inlet airlock includes an exit port allowing passage from the interior portion of the inlet airlock into the interior portion of the central desorption chamber, an egress port allowing passage from an exterior portion of the inlet airlock into the interior portion of the inlet airlock and a toggleable door at each of the egress port and the ingress port sealing the interior portion of the inlet airlock when each said toggleable door is in a closed position.

Abstract: A gas adsorption tree includes a track of multiple, different porous descending levels each pair of the levels defining therebetween an angle of declination. The tree further includes a single exit disposed at a distal end of the track. Finally, the tree includes multiple, different gas adsorbent spheres each traversing each of the levels of the track towards the single exit according to gravitational motivation. In one aspect of the embodiment, the porous descending levels are circuits which when combined form a spiral track. In an alternative aspect of the embodiment, the porous descending levels are ramps such that an ascending edge of each lower positioned one of the ramps in the tree extends beyond a descending edge of an adjacent upper positioned one of the ramps in the tree.

Abstract: Compositing a gas adsorbant, macroporous object includes the immersion of a macroporous substrate into a charge stabilized suspension of nanoparticles that has been adapted for electrostatic repulsion. In this regard, the macroporous substrate includes a multiplicity of pores and demonstrates a compatibility with an adsorbant additive while lacking a repellant reaction to the charge stabilized solution. The nanoparticles are then positioned onto different walls of the pores resulting in the decoration of the macroporous structure with high surface volume materials. Finally, the macroporous substrate is removed from the suspension and dried. Thereafter, a gas adsorbant additive is introduced onto both surface portions of the macroporous substrate and also to the different walls of the pores of the macroporous substrate.
