  • Publication number: 20220401915
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a polymer fiber adsorbent having an MOF uniformly distributed in the matrix thereof, the method comprising the steps of: spinning a spinning dope comprising a polymer matrix and a metal precursor of an MOF to prepare a polymer fiber adsorbent precursor comprising the metal precursor; and contacting the polymer fiber adsorbent precursor with an organic ligand of the MOF to form an MOF in the polymer fiber adsorbent precursor. A polymer fiber adsorbent manufacturing method provided by an aspect of the present invention offers a method capable of easy synthesis of an MOF which is sensitive to water, thereby obtaining a polymer fiber adsorbent excellent in terms of adsorption performance and long-term stability.

  • Patent number: 10486107
    Abstract: Asymmetric membrane structures are provided that are suitable for various types of separations, such as separations by reverse osmosis. Methods for making an asymmetric membrane structure are also provided. The membrane structure can include at least one polymer layer. Pyrolysis can be used to convert the polymer layer to a porous carbon structure with a higher ratio of carbon to hydrogen.

  • Patent number: 9429003
    Abstract: Methods for recovering methane gas from natural gas hydrates are provided. A representative method includes the step of adding a gas mixture containing air and carbon dioxide to a natural gas hydrate (NGH), the step of replacing the methane gas with the gas mixture, and the step of decomposition-replacement of methane hydrate.

  • Publication number: 20150107826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering methane gas from natural gas hydrates. In particular, it includes the step of adding a gas mixture containing air and carbon dioxide to an NGH of deep sea and the step of replacing the methane gas with gas mixture and the step of decomposition-replacement of methane hydrate. In accordance with the present invention, the invention is possible use as a technique for recovery of methane gas in the all-weather to induce replacement reaction using a gas mixture when the temperature of the technology applied is low and to induce degradation of solid methane hydrate by mixing gas when the temperature of the region technique is applied is high. Further, the method makes it possible to reduce costs than using conventional methods because the air is collected directly from the NGH reservoirs and compressed and is injected as a mixture with carbon dioxide and, there is no need to transport the infusion another gas.
