The discovery of new materials for separating ethylene from ethane by adsorption, instead using cryogenic distillation, is a key milestone molecular separations because the multiple and widely extended uses these molecules in industry. This technique has potential to provide tremendous energy savings when compared with currently used distillation process produced through steam cracking.

LTA zeolites can be synthesized with tailored adsorption properties by controlling the Al content in framework. In this work, we have demonstrated that it is possible to adjust polarity of zeolitic adsorbent optimize its thermodynamic for energetically relevant CO2/CH4 separation process. The study has been made from corresponding isotherms pure gases carried out at different pressures and temperatures, as well breakthrough experiments mixtures results were compared those reported on MOFs....
Zeolite Rho is able to successfully separate CO(2) from CH(4) with the highest selectivity ever observed on basis of pore diameter and surface polarity. The adsorption provokes structural changes in zeolite Rho.
Multifunctional materials, especially those combining two or more properties of interest, are attracting immense attention due to their potential applications. MOFs, metal organic frameworks, can be regarded as multifunctional materials if they show another useful property in addition the adsorption behavior. Here, we report a new light hybrid, MgH6ODTMP·2H2O(DMF)0.5 (1), which has been synthesized using tetraphosphonic acid H8ODTMP,...
Adsorption of CO2 and CH4 has been measured on the Na-, K-, Cs-forms zeolite Rho (0–9 bar; 283–333 K). Although is excluded, readily taken up, although uptake at low pressures decreases strongly, in order Na+ > K+ Cs+. Structural studies by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) suggest that cations intercage window sites block adsorption; however, presence CO2, can move enough to permit adsorption (several angstroms). Determination time-averaged cation positions during 298 K Rietveld refinement...
Herein we report the synthesis of an elusive metal-organic framework, iron(II) analogue ZIF-8 with formula Fe(2-methylimidazolate)2, here denoted as MUV-3.

The choice of an appropriate adsorbent for CO2 separation by pressure-swing adsorption remains a field intense research.

The capture of CO2 from post-combustion streams or other mixtures, such as natural gas, is an effective way reducing emissions, which contribute to the greenhouse effect in atmosphere.

Therefore, combining molecular sieving properties low heats clear interest...

Microwaving plates: A facile method was developed for the fabrication of preferentially c-oriented cobalt-substituted silicoaluminophosphate-5 (CoSAPO-5) membranes on porous alumina supports. In situ microwave growth using a slip-coated TiO2 layer support surface resulted in an oriented CoSAPO-5 crystal layer, which evolved into defect-free membrane by improving crystalline intergrowth through secondary hydrothermal growth.
c-Oriented, continuous AlPO4-5 and CoAPO-5 films with an average thickness of as low 500 nm were synthesized by seeded growth. Growth behavior was controlled appropriate manipulation the precursor mixture without altering hydrothermal temperature. Employing crystalline seeds precrystallization under proper conditions yielded a controllable uniform growth prism-shaped oriented crystals over entire substrate surface. Systematically water content affected direction, which continuously tuned...
