  • SOLID SORBENT MATERIALS FOR ACID-GAS SEPARATION
    Publication number: 20170197198
    Abstract: Solid sorbent materials have been prepared by combining polyethyleneimine (PEI) with silica precursors. The solid sorbent materials can be used, for example, for acid gas separation, gas purification, and water purification applications. Advantageously, such materials can be water stable and the capacity of such solid sorbent materials does not diminish substantially after repeated use and regeneration.

  • GAS STORAGE MODULES, APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS UTILIZING ADSORBENT MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20160033081
    Abstract: A gas storage module includes a two-dimensional body and a heat exchanging structure. The body includes a packed adsorbent having a composition and porosity effective for adsorbing a gas such as methane. The body may be self-supporting or encapsulated in a porous support structure. The body includes gas flow channels. Several modules may be stacked together and provided in a storage tank.
