  • Publication number: 20260199818
    Abstract: A method and system can be provided for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from gas streams containing CO2 and water using high-silicon, low-aluminum pentasil zeolite adsorbents. In some examples, the adsorbents, for example, are characterized by a silicon-to-aluminum molar ratio greater than 500:1 or are substantially aluminum-free, exhibiting high CO2 selectivity and hydrophobicity to minimize water competition. The adsorption may occur under controlled pressure and temperature, followed by desorption to release CO2 and regenerate the adsorbent, which then supports repeated adsorption-desorption cycles with stable CO2 capacity, thereby enabling efficient carbon capture from combustion exhaust or biogas for storage, utilization, or further processing.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9815340
    Abstract: A system and method of controlling pressure of a tire. The method may include executing a low supply pressure operating mode when an available supply pressure of pressurized gas is less than a target tire pressure. The tire may be inflated with pressurized gas provided at the available supply pressure when an estimated tire pressure is not within a threshold amount of the available supply pressure.
