A molecular sieve apparatus and magnetic/adsorbent material composition facilitate molecular absorption and separations using a magnetic field to hold, move, cool,and/or heat an adsorbent (1) that is bonded to magnetic materials (3) that are moveable by a magnetic field. An adsorbent (1) is bonded to a soft magnetic material (3) with a binder (2) into a powder composite material adsorbent that is attractable by a magnetic field. This new composite powder is referred to hereinafter as a magneto adsorbent (4). The magnetoadsorbent (4) functions to adsorb and desorb working substances, causing a molecular separation; thus, increasing the efficiency of the absorption cycle by moving the adsorbent (1) to a location that processes the adsorbent (1) in the most optimized conditions. Magnetic field manipulation of adsorbents (1) provides the ability to deliver molecules to locations within systems. Magnetoadsorbents (4) of the present invention further increase the efficiency of the absorption cycle by combining materials with functions including:catalyst, buoyancy, suspension, magnetic heating, and sinking in liquid. All NanoCoupling magnetoadsorbent can adsorb in an oriented direction, because cobalt carbon nanotubes provide a structure to orient within a magnetic field. |
