  • Patent number: 11571656
    Abstract: This invention relates to a dispersion comprising porous particles dispersed in a liquid phase, wherein the porous particles comprise a zeolite and the liquid phase is a size-excluded liquid. The invention also relates to a method of adsorbing a gas into a liquid, comprising at least the step of bringing the gas into contact with the dispersion. In addition, the invention relates to an assemblage of the dispersion, the zeolite comprising a cavity and a gas contained within the cavity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11565212
    Abstract: The invention relates to dispersions of porous solids in liquids selected from deep eutectic solvents, liquid oligomers, bulky liquids, liquid polymers, silicone oils, halogenated oils, paraffin oils or triglyceride oils, as well as to their methods of preparation. In embodiments of the invention, the porous solids are metal organic framework materials (MOFs), zeolites, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous inorganic materials, Mobil Compositions of Matter (MCMs) or a porous carbon. The invention also relates to the use of porous materials to form dispersions, and to assemblages of such dispersions with a gas or gases. The dispersions can exhibit high gas capacities and selectivities.
