  • Patent number: 11027256
    Abstract: A core-shell type amine-based carbon dioxide adsorbent is described, including a chelating agent resistant to oxygen and sulfur dioxide, to inhibit oxidative decomposition of amine. As a core, a porous support is employed on which an amine compound is immobilized, and, as a shell, an amine layer resistant to inactivity by sulfur dioxide is utilized. Such adsorbent exhibits high oxidation resistance because the chelating agent functions to remove a variety of transition metal impurities catalytically acting on amine oxidation. In addition, the sulfur dioxide-resistant amine layer of the shell selectively adsorbs sulfur dioxide to protect the amine compound of the core and, at the same time, the amine compound of the core selectively adsorbs only carbon dioxide. Sulfur dioxide adsorbed on the shell is readily desorbable therefrom at about 110° C. and thus remarkably improved regeneration stability is obtained during temperature-swing adsorption (TSA) processes in which sulfur dioxide is present.

  • Patent number: 10793785
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrocracking catalyst based on hierarchically porous beta-zeolite, a method of preparing the same, and a method of producing bio-jet fuel from triglyceride-containing biomass by use of the hydrocracking catalyst, and includes methods comprising preparing a hydrocracking catalyst by supporting a metallic active component on a hierarchically porous beta-zeolite support, and converting n-paraffins, produced from triglyceride-containing biomass, into bio-jet fuel by hydrocracking in the presence of the prepared hydrocracking catalyst. When the hydrocracking catalyst based on hierarchically porous beta-zeolite is used, the residence time of the reactant and the product in the zeolite crystals may be reduced due to additional mesopores formed in the zeolite, and thus bio-jet fuel may be produced in high yield from n-paraffin feedstock produced from triglyceride-containing biomass.

  • Patent number: 10654025
    Abstract: The core-shell type amine-based carbon dioxide adsorbent including a chelating agent resistant to oxygen and sulfur dioxide according to the present invention is an adsorbent which includes a chelating agent to inhibit oxidative decomposition of amine and has, as a core, a porous support on which an amine compound is immobilized and has, as a shell, an amine layer resistant to inactivity by sulfur dioxide, and a method of preparing the same. The amine-based carbon dioxide adsorbent including a chelating agent exhibits considerably high oxidation resistance because an added chelate compound functions to directly remove a variety of transition metal impurities catalytically acting on amine oxidation. In addition, the sulfur dioxide-resistant amine layer of the shell selectively adsorbs sulfur dioxide to protect the amine compound of the core and, at the same time, the amine compound of the core selectively adsorbs only carbon dioxide.

  • Patent number: 10421058
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a methane microporous carbon adsorbent including a thermally-treated CVD carbon having a shape in the form of a negative replica of a crystalline zeolite has a BET specific surface area, a micropore volume, a micropore to mesopore volume ratio, a stored methane value and a methane delivered value and a sequential carbon synthesis method for forming the methane microporous carbon adsorbent. Introducing an organic precursor gas for a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) period to a crystalline zeolite that is maintained at a CVD temperature forms the carbon-zeolite composite. Introducing a non-reactive gas for a thermal treatment period to the carbon-zeolite composite maintained at a thermal treatment temperature forms the thermally-treated carbon-zeolite composite. Introducing an aqueous strong mineral acid mixture to the thermally-treated carbon-zeolite composite forms the methane microporous carbon adsorbent.
