Carbon Molecular Sieves for Hydrocarbon Separations by Adsorption

Carbon Molecular Sieves – A kinetic study

Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS) are unique materials which are widely used in processes based on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for nitrogen generation by oxygen removal from air [1, 2, 3] and for the enrichment of methane from biogas or landfill gas [4]. Steadily improved CMS were launched in the last years to cover these applications. The recent materials are characterized by higher sorption c...

Molecular simulations of the adsorption and diffusion of hydrocarbons in molecular sieves

In this short review it is demonstrated how molecular simulation can be used to obtain molecular insights in the behaviour of molecules inside the pores of zeolites. Whereas straightforward molecular dynamics can be used to study the behaviour of small molecules inside the pores, the study of the long chain hydrocarbons that are important in petrochemical applications require special computatio...

Preparation and gas adsorption studies of three mesh-adjustable molecular sieves with a common structure.

Solvothermal reactions of a predesigned amphiphilic ligand, 4'-tert-butyl-biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylate (BBPDC), with Zn(NO(3))(2), Co(NO(3))(2), and Cu(NO(3))(2) gave rise to three isostructural mesh-adjustable molecular sieves (MAMSs), MAMS-2, MAMS-3, and MAMS-4, respectively. The three new MAMSs all exhibit temperature-tuned molecular sieving effect. There exists a linear relationship between m...

Demonstration of radon removal from SF6 using molecular sieves

The gas SF6 has become of interest as a negative ion drift gas for use in directional dark matter searches. However, as for other targets in such searches, it is important that radon contamination can be removed as this provides a source of unwanted background events. In this work we demonstrate for the first time filtration of radon from SF6 gas by using a molecular sieve. Four types of sieves...
