Synthesis and Characterization of Polysaccharide Sorbents

该项目的目标是合成和表征用于气体和有机蒸汽干燥的生物材料。生物材料将由葡萄糖（即葡萄糖）的聚合物配制而成。（淀粉和纤维素）和戊糖(即。（木聚糖和半纤维素）提供一种吸附剂，它是坚固的，可生物降解的，并与现有的固定床气体分离工艺和硬件兼容。

The goal of this project is to synthesize and characterize biomaterials for use in the drying of gases and organic vapors. The biomaterials will be formulated from polymers of glucose (ie., starch and cellulose) and pentoses (ie., xylans and hemicellulose) to give a sorbent which is robust, biodegradable, and compatible with existing fixed bed gas separation processes and hardware.
