[0084] In Table 1, the “maximum quantity of coating deposited” corresponds to the quantity of coating deposited after dipping T for which less than 30% in number of the channels are blocked by said coating, the coating obtained after dipping T+1 blocking more than 30% in number of the channels of the porous three-dimensional structure.
[0085] The following Table 1 summarizes the results obtained.

[0088] A comparison of the coated three-dimensional porous structures of Examples 1 and 2 shows that the maximum amount of coating consisting of MOF HKUST-1 particles and crosslinked polyacrylate, measured after drying, is 56% greater for a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers (250 kg / m3) than for a three-dimensional porous structure made of cordierite (160 kg / m3). The same observation can be made by comparing the amount of coating on the surface of the coated three-dimensional porous structure, after 7 dippings: it is 31% greater for a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers (210 kg / m3) than for a three-dimensional porous structure made of cordierite (160 kg / m3).
[0089] A comparison of the coated three-dimensional porous structures of Examples 2 and 3 shows that the maximum amount of coating, measured after drying, covering a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers is 163% greater for a crosslinked polyacrylate binder (250 kg / m3) than for a boehmite binder (95 kg / m3). The same observation can be made by comparing the amount of coating on the surface of the coated three-dimensional porous structure, after 7 dippings: it is 121% greater for a crosslinked polyacrylate binder (210 kg / m3) than for a boehmite binder (95 kg / m3).
[0090] The CO2 adsorption capacity of the coating materials of the porous structures of the examples is measured conventionally using thermogravimetric analysis, at a temperature equal to 50°C, under a gas flow composed by volume of 50% helium and 50% CO2, injected at a flow rate of 3 liters per hour, the quantity of the coating materials of the porous structures of the examples being between 0.1 g and 0.2 g, said materials being the suspension obtained at the end of step a) of the process according to the invention and dried at 100°C for 14 hours. The samples are again dried at 100°C for 1 hour under helium, in the thermogravimetric apparatus immediately before the capacity measurement.
[0091] During the measurement, the mass gain of the sample corresponds to the quantity of CO2 adsorbed by it. The result is expressed in mg of CO2 per gram of adsorbent product contained in the characterized coating material.
[0092] The inventors found by this method that the CO2 adsorption capacity of the MOF HKUST-1 particles was not modified by the presence of the crosslinked polyacrylate binder.
[0093] A comparison of the coated three-dimensional porous structures of Examples 4 and 5 shows that the maximum amount of coating consisting of particles of NaMSXK / 13XBFK zeolite and crosslinked polyacrylate, measured after drying, is 56% greater for a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers (515 kg / m3) than for a three-dimensional porous structure in cordierite (330 kg / m3).
[0094] A comparison of the coated three-dimensional porous structures of Examples 5 and 6 shows that the maximum amount of coating, measured after drying, covering a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers is 56% greater for a crosslinked polyacrylate binder (515 kg / m3) than for a boehmite binder (330 kg / m3).
[0095] These results show that, surprisingly, there is a synergy between a three-dimensional porous structure based on glass fibers and a coating whose binder is a crosslinked polyacrylate: the quantity of coating on the surface of said three-dimensional porous structure is advantageously increased, in particular before the channels are blocked, which makes it possible to increase the quantity of active material for the same volume, thereby improving the performance of the covered three-dimensional porous structure.
[0096] Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described, provided only for illustration purposes.
