NEXT GENERATION GAS SEPARATIONS VIA INNOVATIVE ADSORPTION TECHNOLOGIES

Grant number: DP190100983 | Funding period: 2019 - 2022

Completed

Abstract

This project aims to develop new gas separation technologies that combine novel materials and pressure swing adsorption cycles to deliver inexpensive industrial processes capable of both high recovery and high purity products. The project will advance our ability to manipulate the phenomenon of regulated guest admission into microporous materials, and integrate such materials within new types of dual-reflux adsorption cycles that deliver multiple refined gas products. Successful implementation of these industrial developments will increase Australia's access to cheap supplies of natural gas, encourage the broader use of biomass, lower the carbon emissions of industrial processes, and efficie..
