| 20110113958 | METHOD OF MAKING A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SUPPORTED GAS SEPARATION MOLECULAR SIEVE MEMBRANE USING A SHORTENED CRYSTALLIZATION TIME - A method of making a supported gas separation molecular sieve membrane. In this method a porous support, which is preferably pretreated, is contacted with a molecular sieve synthesis mixture under hydrothermal synthesis conditions. The contacting step is conducted for a shortened crystallization time period. The resulting coated porous support is calcined to yield the supported gas separation molecular sieve membrane having particularly good gas separation characteristics. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20100102001 | VALVING AND STORAGE USING MOLECULAR SIEVE MEMBRANES - The invention provides chemically activated valves based on crystalline molecular sieve membranes. Adsorption of a swelling agent within the pores of the molecular sieve crystals limits transport through the membrane. Desorption of the swelling agent can re-establish transport through the membrane. This valving mechanism can be used in methods for storing and dispensing various substances. | 04-29-2010 |
