Abstract: This disclosure relates to a select class of porous adsorbent, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) capable of adsorbing carbon dioxide, their manufacturing, applications, and methods of use. Specifically, this disclosure relates to the solvo(hydro)thermal synthesis of a family of metal-organic frameworks, and their subsequent processing and transformation into material forms suitable for use in acid gas separations. More specifically, this disclosure relates to the preparation and recovery of MOFs at multiple scales of production, demonstrating the suitability and robustness of the materials thus obtained by the disclosed synthetic route and post-synthetic manipulation employed to tailor the materials for use in a variety of commercial acid gas separation systems, with improved performances, recyclability, and reuse characteristics.

Abstract: A chaff pan for attachment to a cleaning apparatus of an agricultural combine. The chaff pan includes a surface for receiving a flow of chaff from the cleaning apparatus. The surface has a proximal end proximate the combine and an opposing distal end. First and second side walls extend upwards from the surface about respective lateral ends of the chaff pan. The chaff pan also includes a flow control guide vane positioned on the surface of the chaff pan that extends from the proximal end to the distal end of the surface. The flow control guide vane is positioned on the surface at an angle relative to a midline of the chaff pan for directing the flow of chaff towards the midline of the chaff pan.
