Abstract
The present disclosure relates to improved solid state sorbent materials and methods for controlling and enhancing carbon dioxide adsorption performance for selected metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. The present disclosure further relates to inventive methods using a novel class of diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks MOF absorbents displaying step-shaped adsorption isotherms with large carbon dioxide capacities. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to diamine-appended MOF materials exhibiting step-shaped adsorption isotherms that are employed in a method utilizing humidity to control and improve carbon dioxide adsorption performance. In addition, the present disclosure relates to diamine-appended MOF materials used in a process including a regeneration step with carbon dioxide and humidity level control to achieve deep carbon dioxide removal even from dilute, near ambient condition carbon dioxide streams as well as more concentrated industrial output streams spanning multiple orders of magnitude. The present disclosure also relates to scrubbing apparatus and methods employing the inventive MOF materials, methods, process steps and apparatus as disclosed to…
