Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes are emerging as a promising energy-efficient separation technology. However, their reliable and scalable manufacturing remains challenge. We demonstrate the fabrication of ZIF nanocomposite by means an all-vapor-phase processing method based on atomic layer deposition (ALD) ZnO in porous support followed ligand-vapor treatment. After ALD, obtained exhibits low flux is not selective, whereas after (2-methylimidazole) treatment, it partially...
Industrial scaling of zeolite membrane manufacturing is the general aspiration progresses in membranes synthesis, but evaluation their environmental aspects has been disregarded. The objective this study to quantify impacts synthesis with respect recent advances membranes: (i) seed layers that allow submicron thickness; (ii) gel-less secondary treatments avoid use large amounts expensive structure directing agents; and (iii) low-cost polymer supports instead conventional ceramic supports....
Adsorption equilibria of alkane-α, ω-diols (propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, pentane-1,5-diol, and hexane-1,6-diol) from aqueous solution onto an all-silica zeolite the type mordenite framework inverted (MFI, also known as silicalite-1) are obtained by simulations experiments at T = 323 K for pentane-1,5-diol (C5) 348 383 K. After initial slow rise, isotherms exhibit steep changes in loading, reaching saturation 10, 9, 8, 7 molec/uc number carbon atoms diols increases 3 to 6. The abrupt...
The separation of H2S from natural gas, biogas, and coal gas is an essential process that requires large energy input high capital costs. We propose a new sorption-based process, which can be coupled with the Claus desulfurization to reduce sulfur emissions. This based on sorbent material consisting specific composition Cu, Mg, Al oxides exhibiting superior capacity (∼7.5 mmol/g) at conditions compatible for integration process. CuO active component, during uptake converted CuS fully...
