CUSTOM WATER ADSORPTION MATERIAL

摘要

The technology disclosed herein is directed to controlling humidity levels, such as the humidity level in an enclosed environment. The water isotherm of the adsorbent material is customized through the modification of the surface chemistry of the adsorbent. By modifying the surface chemistry of the adsorbent in various ways and to varying degrees, it is possible to customize the adsorbent properties to a range of different humidity levels. Such modification can enhance the adsorbing capacity and efficiency of the adsorbent, especially with regard to low molecular weight water-soluble compounds.
