Gas separation is a key issue in various industrial fields. Hydrogen has the potential for application in clean fuel technologies. Therefore, the separation and purification of hydrogen is an important research subject. CO2 capture and storage have important roles in "green chemistry". As an effective clean technology, gas separation using inorganic membranes has attracted much attention in the...

Selection of mobile phases markedly affect separation efficiency of eluted probes in gas chromatography (GC), the mobile phases have a pronounced effect on the retention times and efficiency of natural gas separation. In solid chromatography, carrier gases which are adsorbed to any extent occupy more active adsorption sites, reducing the net heat of adsorption of the eluted zone. The efficiency...

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. High-performance liquid Chromatography is a very useful method for the direct separation of enantiomers. However, about 30−40 years ago, commercially available chiral stationary phases wer...

In recent years, the feasibility of utilizing gas hydrates in industrial systems draws much attention as a subject of engineering studies. Despite the suggested applications for gas hydrate in transportation and storage of natural gas, desalination of water, etc., there have been few applied industrial experiences with gas hydrates. There are several patents and papers on promotion of gas hydra...

Enhancing the fluxes in gas separation membranes is required for utilizing the membranes on a mass scale for CO2 capture. Membrane thinning is one of the most promising approaches to achieve high fluxes. In addition, sophisticated molecular transport across membranes can boost gas separation performance. In this review, we attempt to summarize the current state of CO2 separation membranes, espe...

This polymer is characterized by relatively high gas permeability, (Р(О2)=800 Barrer, Р(СО2)=4350 Barrer). It is interesting that for the series of gaseous alkanes С1-С4 permeability increases when the size of the penetrant increases and reaches the value Р(С4Н10)=17500 Barrer (at 1 atm). It is also noteworthy that this polymer keeps high permselectivity in separation of the mixture butane/meth...

The integration of a trapped ion mobility spectrometer (TIMS) with a mass spectrometer (MS) for complementary fast, gas-phase mobility separation prior to mass analysis (TIMS-MS) is described. The ion transmission and mobility separation are discussed as a function of the ion source condition, bath gas velocity, analysis scan speed, RF ion confinement, and downstream ion optical conditions. TIM...

The performance of the electric submersible pump (ESP) significantly affected by Gas Void Fraction (GVF). Thus, using of a Rotary Gas Separator (RGS) is a suitable solution for this issue. The performance of the RGS is function of different parameters such as geometry of impeller, rotating speed, boundary conditions, media viscosity and GVF. In this study, the influences of GVF, viscosity, and ...

Polymer blends are proving to be important in emerging technologies including as gas separation membranes [1]. The blending of existing polymers offers the distinct advantage of being able to develop new materials with potentially synergistic properties not attainable with the individual polymer components and without the need to synthesize new macromolecules [2]. We recently developed phasesep...
