High-pressure adsorption of methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen on zeolite 13X was measured in the pressure range (0 to 5) MPa at (298, 308, 323) K fitted with Toth multisite Langmuir models. Isosteric heats were (12.8, 15.3, 37.2) kJ/mol for nitrogen, dioxide respectively, which indicate a very strong dioxide. The preferential capacity CO2 much higher than other gases, indicating that can be used methane purification from natural gas or sequestration flue gas.

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a well-established gas separation technique in air separation, drying, and hydrogen purification separation. Recently, PSA technology has been applied other areas like methane from natural biogas tremendous potential to expand its utilization.

The structure and properties of two new UiO-67-type metal–organic frameworks, along with their linker synthesis powder single crystal synthesis, are presented. MOFs, UiO-67-Me UiO-67-BN, based on 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl 1,1′-binaphthyl scaffolds, show a much higher stability to water than the thoroughly investigated UiO-67, which is biphenyl scaffold. On basis models obtained from X-ray diffraction, it seen that these linkers partly shielding Zr cluster. materials have density but volumetric...

Hydrogen is an important energetic vector nowadays.
