  • GAS STORAGE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20220032265
    Abstract: To provide a gas storage material and gas separation system capable of regulating the storage pressure and release pressure of a gas. A gas storage material which has two cubic lattice-shaped organometallic complexes, wherein the two organometallic complexes form an interpenetrating structure in which one apex portion of a unit cell of one of the organometallic complexes is positioned in a space inside one unit cell of the other organometallic complex.

  • Acetylene removal from light hydrocarbon mixtures by metal-organic framework exhibiting dual size and chemical selectivities
    Patent number: 10562830
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gas separation system and a gas separation method capable of separating various types of hydrocarbon gas with high selectivity, and a gas separation system is for separating one type or more of hydrocarbon gases from mixed gas consisting of two types or more of hydrocarbon gases; having a porous metal-organic complex having pores determined by metal ion-containing planar ligands facing each other and pillar ligands coordinating between the planar ligands, and a controller for controlling at least a pressure of the mixed gas; and in which the pressure is controlled to control adsorption of the hydrocarbon gas to the porous metal-organic complex or desorption thereof from the porous metal-organic complex.
