NSERC Industrial Research Chair in New Microporous Molecular Sieves

这项计划代表着NSERC工业研究主席在新的微孔分子方面的更新 艾伯塔大学化学与材料工程系的筛子。这一计划将 以主席S.M.库兹尼基博士在本届主席第一届任期内的发现为基础。这些措施包括 用于乙烷回收的能量密集型深冷工艺的吸附剂设计 天然气因此，从乙烷中分离出乙烯，从纯烃中除去甲烷 蒸气和其他能源友好的吸附过程。这张椅子还将探讨催化剂的设计 用于合成乙烯和丙烯等聚合物前体的膜，这将消除 在其制备过程中需要进行能量密集型分离。分子筛和分子筛的新应用 将继续探索新一代用于能源和污染减排的分子筛。 该项目的行业赞助商是总部位于卡尔加里的Nova化学公司和一家 世界领先的乙烯生产商和其他相关化学品的主要供应商。

This program represents a renewal of the NSERC Industrial Research Chair in New Microporous Molecular Sieves in the Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta. This program will build on discoveries made in the first term of this Chair by the Chairholder Dr. S.M. Kuznicki. These include the design of adsorbents to replace energy intensive cryogenic processes for the harvesting of ethane from natural gas thus, the separation of ethylene from ethane, the removal of methane from pure hydrocarbon streams and other energy friendly adsorptive processes. This Chair will also approach the design of catalytic membranes for the synthesis of polymer precursors such as ethylene and propylene, which would eliminate the need for energy intensive separations in their preparation. New applications of molecular sieves and the generation of new molecular sieves for energy and pollution abatement will continue to be explored. The industrial sponsor of this program is NOVA Chemicals Corporation, a Calgary based company and a world's leading producer of ethylene and a major supplier of other related chemicals.
