This is now in print in Chemical Engineering Journal! We demonstrated the benefits of using a laminate-bed adsorbent contactor (over the traditional packed-bed) in pressure-vacuum swing adsorption processes using CALF-20. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025. There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

The first part of this video (~15 mins) has some good points also. We will see if they can generate hype long enough to ride out the challenges. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsW4...
