Abstract: Embodiments include a method of magnetic swing absorption, which may include contacting a fluid mixture including one or more gases and a liquid absorbent in a separation chamber; absorbing at least one of said gases using the liquid absorbent, optionally in the presence of a constant inhomogeneous magnetic field; and desorbing the at least one absorbed gas from the liquid absorbent, optionally in the presence of the constant inhomogeneous magnetic field. Embodiments further include other related methods, related systems and apparatuses, and the like.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods (and related systems, devices, and apparatuses) for determining a sorption separation factor for a binary gas mixture by applying a magnetic field to at least a portion of a sorbent (604) disposed in a chamber of a magnetic susceptibility device; directing a first gas stream including a first gas compound into the chamber at a first pressure and temperature to obtain a first magnetic susceptibility measurement; directing a second gas stream including a second gas compound into the chamber at a second pressure and temperature to obtain a second magnetic susceptibility measurement; directing a binary gas mixture including the first gas compound and the second gas compound into the chamber at a third pressure and temperature to obtain a third magnetic susceptibility measurement; and determining a sorption separation factor based on the first, the second, and the third magnetic susceptibility measurements.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and uses for separating gas mixtures of at least two different gases under magnetic field and employing a membrane are described.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing nanostructures is disclosed. The process involves forming a liquid crystalline template by combining a block copolymer, a first reactant in a polar phase, and a nonpolar phase, then contacting the template with a gas phase composed of a second reactant, under conditions effective to form nanostructures.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing nanostructures involving providing a first reactant, forming a liquid crystalline template containing the first reactant and contacting the template with a gas phase composed of a second reactant under conditions effective to form nanostructures is disclosed. A method of making a liquid crystalline template by combining and allowing to react a block copolymer, a polar continuous phase material, and a dispersed nonpolar phase material under conditions effective to form the liquid crystalline template is also disclosed.
