Abstract:
Provided in one embodiment is a method of making an aerogel, comprising: (A) increasing a concentration of a suspension comprising a gel precursor under a condition that promotes formation of a gel, wherein the gel precursor comprises particulates having an asymmetric geometry; and (B) removing a liquid from the gel to form the aerogel, wherein the aerogel and the gel have substantially the same geometry. An aerogel comprising desirable properties are also provided.
Abstract:
Methods using homogeneous precipitation of a metal on a surface of a particle to prepare silica particles having the metal adsorbed thereon are disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the silica particles having the metal adsorbed thereon can be used to prepare carbon coated silica particles. The carbon coated silica particles can be useful in a wide variety of applications including, for example, for use as sorbents in chromatography.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a complex for carbon dioxide separation, the complex for carbon dioxide separation including a support and a carbon dioxide separation layer on the support, and the method including: applying, on the support, a coating liquid for forming the carbon dioxide separation layer including: a water-absorbing polymer, an alkali metal salt, and a filler having a density lower than a density of the alkali metal salt, a new Mohs hardness of 2 or greater, and a volume average particle diameter that is 30% or less of a thickness of the carbon dioxide separation layer; and drying the coating liquid applied for forming the carbon dioxide separation layer to obtain the carbon dioxide separation layer.
Abstract:
The identification, synthesis, and use of an isomorphously substituted molecular sieve material having structural frameworks substituted with a preselected substitution element for a framework element of the molecular sieve material can result in a preferred transport controlling window size range for the optimal separation of a target gas component from a gaseous mixture containing said target gas component.
