Abstract: A filter includes a membrane having a plurality of nanochannels formed therein. Functionalized nanoparticles are deposited through self assembly onto surfaces defining the nanochannels so as to decrease the final diameter of the membrane. Methods for making and using the filter are also provided.

Abstract: Metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer mixed matrix membranes (MOF-MMMs) can be prepared by dispersing high surface area MOFs into a polymer matrix. The MOFs allow the polymer to infiltrate the pores of the MOFs, which improves the interfacial and mechanical properties of the polymer and in turn affects permeability. These mixed matrix membranes are attractive candidates for practical gas separation applications such as CO
2 removal from natural gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the selective separation of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) from nitrogen (“N2”) in streams containing both carbon dioxide and nitrogen utilizing a zeolitic imidazolate framework (“ZIF”) material. Preferably, the stream to be separated is fed to the present process in a substantially gaseous phase. In preferred embodiments, the current invention is utilized in a process to separate carbon dioxide from combustion gas (e.g., flue gas) streams preferably for sequestration of at least a portion of the carbon dioxide produced in combustion processes.

Abstract: The invention relates to the oil industry and can be used for simultaneously producing electric power and oil using by-products of a multipurpose power plant. The aim of said invention is to increase the oil recovery by the actively stimulating formation. The inventive method makes it possible to use all actually known agents, i.e. carbonic acid gas, steam and oxygen, suitable for carrying out said stimulation. The inventive methods for increasing the oil recovery of a formation consist in pumping the by-product of the multipurpose power plant into an oil reservoir, wherein said multipurpose power plant is provided with a piston engine whichuses natural gas and comprises a membrane reactor, the ceramic ion-transport membranes of which are made of metal oxides. Steam, oxygen and carbonic-acid gas are the by-products of the multipurpose power plant.

Abstract: A spacer element (1) is disclosed having an integral screen for use in filled cell electrodialysis. The spacer (1) has a continuous portion (2) impermeable to flow and a screen (3) which spans a centrally-located flow treatment region that contains active treatment material, such as ion exchange beads. The screen (3) may perform a structural function, allowing operation at elevated pressure, and may also define a minimum gap between adjacent membranes and enhance mixing along the flow path and at cell boundaries. The spacer element (1) may be configured to enhance hydraulic filling of the cells, and cell architecture is readily implemented in a wide range of useful flow path geometries utilizing the screen spacer element (1).

Abstract: A process of steam separation using a separation membrane in a separation vessel where the separation membrane separates the vessel into an intake chamber and a recovery chamber. The separation membrane comprises at least one porous support; and a cross-linked hydrophilic polymer membrane material with. an inorganic particulate material or a precursor to an inorganic particulate material. The membrane material is applied to the porous support. The process comprises supplying steam to be purified to the intake chamber of the vessel, the pressure in the intake chamber being greater than the pressure in the recovery chamber; and recovering the purified steam from the recovery chamber of the vessel.
