  • Multi-component hydrogen storage material
    Patent number: 7790133
    Abstract: A reversible hydrogen storage composition having an empirical formula of: Li(x+z)NxMgyBzHw where 0.4?x?0.8; 0.2?y?0.6; 0<z?0.4, x+y+z=1 and “w” varies from 0 to 2x+2y+4z. This composition shows greater low temperature reversible hydrogen storage compared to binary systems such as MgH2—LiNH2.

  • Process for determining a zeolite structure and its corresponding adsorption isotherm
    Patent number: 6845329
    Abstract: Applicant has developed a method for predicting the structure of a zeolite including the cation positions and distributions. The method comprises using combinatorial minimization and molecular mechanics techniques. One important aspect of the technique is the bumping of two cations. Another aspect of the invention is predicting the adsorption isotherms of the invention using a biased-Grand Cononical Monte Carlo technique which contains electrostatic and dispersion interaction terms between gas molecules and the zeolite.

  • Synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having the tschörtnerite framework topology and uses thereof
    Patent number: 6534034
    Abstract: A zeolite may be synthesized having the framework topology of tschörtnerite (TSC) and an empirical formula of mA2/nO:Al2O3:ySiO2 where A is a cation such as lithium. It is anticipated that the synthetic TSC is usable in processes for separating mixtures of molecular species. The lithium analog should be useful for air separation.
