A heat transfer fluid can be used as part of a multi-phase adsorption environment to allow for improved separations of gas components using a solid adsorbent. The heat transfer fluid can reduce or minimize the temperature increase of the solid adsorbent that occurs during an adsorption cycle. Reducing or minimizing such a temperature increase can enhance the working capacity for an adsorbent and/or enable the use of adsorbents that are not practical for commercial scale adsorption using conventional adsorption methods. The multi-phase adsorption environment can correspond to a trickle bed environment, a slurry environment, or another convenient environment where at least a partial liquid phase of a heat transfer fluid is present during gas adsorption by a solid adsorbent.

A method for creating adhesion includes plasma treating two substrates and thereafter contacting the substrates. The method can be used on a variety of dry surfaces. The method is used to adhere nonadhesive surfaces such as a cured silicone with a ceramic or semiconductor.

Method for creating adhesion during fabrication of electronic devices

Polyorganosiloxane compositions yielding cured elastomers exhibiting cohesive bonding to inorganic substrates contain as the adhesion promoter the combination of (1) a 1,2- bis(trialkoxysilyl)ethane of the general formula (RO).sub.3 SiCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Si(OR).sub.3 where R represents an alkyl or haloalkyl radical containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, (2) an organosilicon compound containing at least one hydroxyl group or a hydrolyzable precursor thereof and at least one group that reacts at ambient temperature with the alkoxy groups of the silylethane or with the curable polyorganosiloxane composition, and (3) a catalyst for the reaction of the adhesion promoter ingredients. Preferred compositions are cured at room temperature by a platinum catalyzed hydrosilation reaction and are applied to metallic substrates that have not been cleaned or otherwise treated prior to application of the composition.
