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 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.
