Industry/University Cooperative Research Center Measurement and Control: Use of Zeolite Membranes in Process Spectrometry

该奖项为“TIE”项目提供资金，该项目涉及两个NSF工业/大学合作研究中心(I/ ucrc) -科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的薄膜分离中心和田纳西大学的测量与控制工程中心。沸石膜将被制备并用于提高过程质谱法分析多组分工艺流的能力。膜将用于基于选择性尺寸、形状或吸附差异和/或基于相对渗透率的独特时间依赖性来诱导组分分离，以辅助质谱反褶积。将评估最佳质谱响应的膜性质。针对特定应用而定制的膜将在博尔德中心准备并在诺克斯维尔进行测试。结合技术发展的应用指导将从中心的工业成员提出的问题中汲取。在成员装置中对衍生方法的测试将作为有效性测试的常规部分。

EEC-9528067 Garrison This award provides funding for a "TIE" project involving two NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) - the Center for Separations Using Thin Films at the University of Colorado, Boulder and the Measurement and Control Engineering Center at the University of Tennessee. Zeolite membranes will be prepared and used to improve the ability to analyze multicomponent process streams by process mass spectrometry. Membranes will be used to induce component separation based on selective size, shape, or sorptive differences and/or distinctive time dependence based on relative permeation rates as an aid to mass spectral deconvolution. Membrane properties for optimum mass spectrometric response will be assessed. Membranes tailored to this response for a given application will be prepared at the Boulder Center and tested in Knoxville. Applications guidance for evolution of the combined technologies will be drawn from problems posed by industrial members of the Centers. Testing of derived methodologies in member installations will be included as a regular part of effectiveness testing.
