Abstract
The present disclosure provides for a porous gas sorbent monolith with superior gravimetric working capacity and volumetric capacity, a gas storage system including a porous gas sorbent monolith of the present disclosure, methods of making the same, and method for storing a gas. The porous gas sorbent monolith includes a gas adsorbing material and a non-aqueous binder.
Claims41
A method of storing a gas, the method comprising:
- contacting the gas with a gaseous storage system comprising at least one porous gas sorbent monolith having a working gravimetric capacity of ≦40 lbs/GGE and/or a volumetric capacity of ≦35 L/GGE.
A porous gas sorbent monolith, comprising:
- a gas adsorbing material,
- wherein the porous gas sorbent monolith has a working gravimetric capacity of 40 lbs/GGE and/or a volumetric capacity of <35 L/GGE.
A method of making a porous gas sorbent monolith, the method comprising:
- admixing a gas adsorbing material and a non-aqueous binder;
- and
- compressing the mixture into a shaped structure or extruding the mixture in a shape.
A gas storage system comprising:
- a container;
- and
- a porous gas sorbent monolith disposed therein, wherein the monolith comprises a gas adsorbing material,
- wherein the porous gas sorbent monolith has a working gravimetric capacity of ≦40 lbs/GGE (e.g., ≦28 lbs/GGE) and/or a volumetric capacity of <35 L/GGE (e.g., <30 L/GGE).
