Abstract: Methods of applying a sorbent coating on a substrate, a support, and/or a substrate coated with a support are described. One of the methods comprises: (i) optionally, preparing the substrate coated with the support by pre-treating the substrate with a slurry, wherein the slurry comprises: a. solvent, b. a binder, c. the support, and d. optional dispersant; and (ii) treating the substrate, the support, and/or the substrate coated with the support, with a sorbent.

Abstract: A structure and system for the adsorption of carbon dioxide from air, the system comprising a sorbent structure comprising a porous substrate having a porous alumina coating on the surfaces of said substrate, and the sorbent for carbon dioxide is embedded on the surfaces of said porous alumina coating. The substrate is preferably a porous monolith, formed from silica or mesocellular foam. The sorbent is an amine group-containing material, preferably loaded at 40 to 60 percent by volume relative to the porous alumina coating.

Abstract: A gas stream containing nitrous oxide and ammonia is contacted with a catalyst composition containing a zeolite. N2O is reduced to N2 and H2O at low temperatures in a highly efficient manner. Ammonia-mediated reduction of nitrous oxide can be effectuated from gas streams having N2O concentrations as low as 1%. The gas stream may also contact a catalytic composition selective for the reduction of NOx. In this way, N2O and NOx treatment may be effectuated in a single process stream.
