    Abstract: A method for producing Metal Organic Framework (MOF) having a framework that encapsulates a bio-molecule, the method comprising combining in a solution the bio-molecule and MOF precursors, wherein the bio-molecule promotes formation of the encapsulating framework. The method stems from a surprising effect that a bio-molecule can promote or trigger the formation of MOF when combined together in a solution with MOF precursors. That is, it has now been found that a bio-molecule can effectively act as a seed around which the framework forms, with the resulting framework encapsulating the bio-molecule.

  • Patent number: 10100689
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for desulfating an oxidation catalyst in an aftertreatment system of a multifuel internal combustion engine. The oxidation catalyst can be desulfated in response to one or more desulfation triggering events. The desulfation process includes providing hydrocarbons from one or all of the multiple fuel sources to an upstream oxidation catalyst. The hydrocarbons react with the exhaust gas within the upstream oxidation catalyst to deplete oxygen in the exhaust flow to thereby reduce the desulfation temperature of the oxidation catalyst while elevating a temperature of the exhaust gas to a desulfation temperature range.

  • Patent number: 9962688
    Abstract: A method for synthesizing a crystalline molecular sieve SSZ-13, characterized in that the method comprises bringing the following raw materials into contact in water under a crystallization condition: at least one tetravalent silicon source, at least one trivalent aluminum source, at least one alkali metal compound, choline cations and/or SSZ-13 seed crystals, and hydroxide ions. The method avoids using benzyl trimethyl quaternary ammonium ions (BzTMA+) or N,N,N-trimethyl-1-amantadine cations as structure-directing agents, and obtains high-quality crystal molecular sieve SSZ-13. Due to the use of a low-cost nontoxic structure-directing agent, the method has low production price by employing a low-cost nontoxic template, and can be popularized for application.
