Wun-Syong Chen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9283538
    Abstract: A sorbent for capturing CO2 is fabricated. The sorbent is pelletized and used under a medium or high temperature. The sorbent is mainly made of aluminum calcium carbonate (Ca—Al—CO3). The present invention has a controllable ratio for mixing Ca—Al—CO3 with a release agent (magnesium stearate, MgSt) and a binder (activated carbon, cement or bentonite). The sorbent has a good performance for anti-degradation under a high temperature with 100% of CO2. During 10 loops of use, 43.3˜47.5% of CO2 is captured with an initial amount up to 10 milli-moles per gram (mmol/g) and a stability ratio up to 91.2% maintained.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2016
    Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, Executive Yuan, R.O.C.

  • Patent number: 9108859
    Abstract: An engineered process of manufacturing a carbon capturing agent calcium aluminum carbonate Ca—Al—CO3 includes steps of mixing, solid-liquid separation, drying and extrusion, crushing and conveying, and calcined molding. The acid bath of Ca+2 and Al+3 is mixed with the alkaline bath of Na2CO3 and NaOH while stirring to form slurry which are then subject to solid-liquid separation to obtain a filtrated cake. The filtrated cake is place into a drying and extrusion device to obtain granular material. The granular material is placed in a conveying and crushing equipment to obtain a powder material. The powder material is calcined at furnace for forming a Ca—Al—CO3, which is nano-layered composite with high porosity. Thereby, the preparation of a solid sorbent can be scale up under systematically controlled with yield of at least batches of kilograms used in medium-high temperature (400˜800° C.) CO2 capture.
