Inorganic microporous

Materials with controlled pore sizes and functionality, particularly in three dimensions would have many uses (53-59). Numerous totally inorganic microporous and mesoporous materials have been subject of thousands of papers, and applications of the former (e.g., zeolites) have a sizable impact on the global economy at present (myriad uses from production of gasoline to a host of chemicals) (60-66). However, the use... 

Membranes do not tolerate particles, so the gas has to be filtered before separation. Then for several membrane materials water vapor may also be a problem, causing plugging (inorganic microporous materials) or swelling (polymeric materials). Hence for these applications, the gas must be dried. Depending on the specifications for the CO2, co-permeation of gases (especially remaining HC) may be a problem. What can then be recommended for removal of CO2 from flue gas Some alternatives are presented below ... 

H. Du, Synthesis and Preparation of New Inorganic Microporous Crystals. PhD Thesis, Jilin University, China (1997). 

Commonly used templates or SDAs in the synthesis of inorganic microporous compounds are metal cations, organic amines, organic quaternary ammonium base, fluorine ion, metal complex, etc. Their roles in the creation of pores will be individually discussed below. 

Towards Rational Design and Synthesis of Inorganic Microporous Materials... 

Molecular design and rational synthesis of inorganic microporous crystalline materials are frontier subjects in the fields of zeolites science and molecular engineering. Zeolite synthesis is an active field of research because zeolites with uniform micropores are important in many industrial processes in catalysis, adsorption, and separation, and are finding new applications in electronics, magnetism, chemical sensors, and medicine, etc.12 91 Synthesis of such materials typically involves crystallization from a gel medium under hydrothermal/solvothermal conditions in the presence of organic amines as... 

This chapter will present the current developments in the design and synthesis of inorganic microporous and related materials which is mainly focused on the work by the Jilin group, and others.
