The waste streams from many liquefied natural gas (LNG) industries still contains valuable helium, a possible next mineral to sustain our economic growth. This project aims to efficiently separate helium from methane and nitrogen via the layered two dimensional materials. This project will seek to understand the assembling behaviour of these nano-sized Mxene flakes and their molecular sieving properties. Australia is playing a leading role in the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and trade. This project expects to further position Australia at the forefront of intellectual leadership in the field of gas processing and material development. This will have significant benefits, such as further improving these LNG projects economics by cost-effectively producing helium as a valuable by-product via advanced porous nano-materials.

来自许多液化天然气（LNG）行业的废物流仍然含有宝贵的氦，这可能是维持我们经济增长的下一个矿物。该项目旨在通过层状二维材料有效地将氦气与甲烷和氮气分离。该项目将试图了解这些纳米级Mxene薄片的组装行为及其分子筛性能。澳大利亚在全球液化天然气（LNG）生产和贸易中发挥着主导作用。该项目预计将进一步将澳大利亚置于天然气加工和材料开发领域的知识领先地位。这将带来巨大的好处，例如通过先进的多孔纳米材料以成本效益高的方式生产氦气作为有价值的副产品，从而进一步提高这些LNG项目的经济性。
