  • Patent number: 9403148
    Abstract: A method of forming the highly selective ultra-small pore amorphous adsorbent includes introducing an ion-exchange material to a sodium aluminosilicate zeolite such that an ion-exchanged zeolite forms, calcinating the ion-exchanged zeolite at a calcination temperature such that the ion-exchanged zeolite collapses and forms the decationized amorphous adsorbent, and introducing a back ion-exchange material to the decationized amorphous adsorbent such that the highly selective ultra-small pore amorphous adsorbent forms. The highly selective ultra-small pore amorphous adsorbent has a pore aperture size operable to permit carbon dioxide to adsorb into the amorphous adsorbent and operable to deny methane from adsorbing into the amorphous adsorbent.

  • Patent number: 9333482
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an amorphous adsorbent composition capable of purifying a gaseous hydrocarbon fraction and methods for synthesizing the composition. The composition is advantageously capable of filtering non-combustible contaminants for increasing the quality and heating value of a gaseous hydrocarbon such as methane. The composition comprises a zeolite based framework that is at least partially collapsed and capable of selectively adsorbing and desorbing gaseous components such as methane and carbon dioxide for purifying the gaseous hydrocarbon fraction.
