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

高微孔吸附剂在开发更绿色、更高效的能源和环境技术方面发挥着关键作用。它们可用作变压吸附(PSA)系统中的活化剂，用于净化沼气以改善与天然气基础设施和能源技术的兼容性，从碳氢化合物流中提取氢气以提高石油工业气体重整技术的能效，或从废物中提取氢气用于零直接排放发电。PSA还可用于去除温室气体和流出气中的污染物，以进行封存或处置。微孔吸附剂还可用于甲烷和氢气等气体燃料在高能密度下的可逆、低压和安全存储。

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.
