Adsorption processes in highly microporous nanostructures for advanced energy and environmental technologies

Highly microporous adsorbents are playing a key role in the development of greener and more efficient energy and environmental technologies. They can be used as active agents in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems to purify biogas to improve compatibility with natural gas infrastructure and energy technologies, to extract hydrogen from hydrocarbon streams to improve the energy efficiency of gas reforming technologies for the oil industry or to extract hydrogen from waste for zero direct emission electric power generation. PSA can also be used to remove greenhouse gases and contaminants from effluent gases for sequestration or disposal. Microporous adsorbents can also be used for the reversible low-pressure and safe storage of gaseous fuels such as methane and hydrogen at high energy densities.
