Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for alkyl-aryl amine-rich small molecules that are prepared by nucleophilic substitution from tri- and hexa-bromine-substituted aromatic cores with various aliphatic diamines. The resulting products can be subsequently subjected by solution impregnation into solid mesoporous supports. Various types of alkyl-aryl amine-rich small molecules can fill the support's pores up to ˜90% and displayed good thermal stability
Abstract:
A reactor cell for measuring gas and liquid permeation is disclosed. A hollow fiber is supported by and sealed into a first hole and a second hole of the reactor module. The first and second ends of the hollow fiber are sealed with a sealing solution. Methods for making and using the reactor cell are also disclosed. As made and used, the reactor cell further comprises a molecular sieving membrane that is uniform and free of defects grown on an inner bore surface of the hollow fiber.

Abstract:
A reactor cell for measuring gas and liquid permeation is disclosed. The reactor cell comprises a reactor module having a reactor chamber and a cover. A first hole extends into the reactor chamber from a first surface, a second hole opposing the first hole extends into the reactor chamber from a second surface, a third hole extends into the reactor chamber from a third surface and a fourth hole opposing the third hole extends into the reactor chamber from a fourth surface. A hollow fiber is supported by and sealed into the first and second holes of the reactor module. The first and second ends of the hollow fiber are sealed with a sealing solution. Methods for making and using the reactor cell are also disclosed. As made and used, the reactor cell further comprises a molecular sieving membrane grown on an inner bore surface of the hollow fiber.
Abstract:
Supported amine polymer adsorbents based on polymers containing only or primarily primary amines sites are to be used as regenerable adsorbents for CO2 capture from ultra-dilute gas streams, such as ambient air, or from mixtures of gases containing preferably at least 10% oxygen. and can also be useful for use at the moderate gas pressures found in typical post-combustion capture processes, such as flue gas from large point sources such as coal-fired power plants. Preferred supported solid amine adsorbents of this invention are based on poly(allylamine) (“PAA”) and poly(vinyl amine) (“PVAm”), both of which are linear polymers, and their derivatives, containing substantially all primary amine groups, supported on substrates. Preferred such substrates include silica mesocellular foam (MCF) and mesoporous-γ-alumina, as well on mesoporous-γ-alumina coated throughout the pores of MCF, most preferably of monolithic structure. Preferred derivatives include the guanidinylated and cross-linked poly(allylamine) materials.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of manufacturing a zeolite membrane, comprising: providing at least one porous substrate; and coating the at least one porous substrate with a membrane. In some embodiments, the method further comprises hydrothermally treating the membrane with a first hydrothermal treatment step with tetrapropylammonium fluoride (TPAF) and a second hydrothermal treatment step with tetraethammonium hydroxide (TEAOH). In some embodiments, coating the substrate with a membrane comprises surrounding at least a portion of the at least one porous substrate with a precursor gel, the gel comprising a gel phase and a plurality of CHA or MFI crystals; heating the at least one porous substrate and the precursor gel; washing the at least one porous substrate; drying the at least one porous substrate; and calcining the at least one porous substrate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for materials comprising porous structures supporting (e.g., disposed therein and/or thereon) alkyl diamine-substituted aryl compounds, methods of making the materials and components thereof, methods of use thereof, and the like. In an aspect, the materials can be used to separate CO2 and/or adsorb CO2 in one or more CO2 capture or separation applications. In one aspect, the sorbent material can be used to separate and capture CO2 in gas mixtures (e.g., ambient air, flue gas, exhaust, and mixtures of these) in a wide range of concentrations. As a result, embodiments of the present disclosure are advantageous in that they can be used in different types of CO2 concentration environments.
