Abstract: A process of making an adsorbent body, wherein the process includes the steps of: (a) contacting adsorbent material with an initial mixture to form a solvated adsorbent mixture in a first solvent; (b) removing the first solvent and removing at least some of the first solvent from the solvated adsorbent mixture in the first solvent to form an initial adsorbent body; (c) contacting the initial adsorbent body with a second solvent to form a reduced-binder adsorbent body in a second solvent; and (d) solvent-drying the reduced-binder adsorbent body to form the adsorbent body. Also described is an adsorbent body, and the use of the adsorbent body in gas storage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for use in a gas storage vessel, said composition comprising at least two MOF monolithic bodies, including at least about 50 wt % of a first MOF monolithic body, and a second MOF monolithic body. The MOF monolithic bodies contain MOF and binder. The first MOF monolithic body has a volume of macropores of about 15% or less of the envelope volume of the first MOF monolithic body, a particle aspect ratio of about 2 or greater and a smallest particle diameter of greater than or equal to about 1 mm. The second MOF monolithic body has a largest particle diameter about equal to or less than the smallest particle diameter of the first MOF monolithic body.
