A fundamental step for the application of ethylene in derivatives is its separation/ purification from ethane after being obtained by naphta or ethane steam cracking. The state of art method for such task is cryogenic distillation, which lies as one of the most energy consuming industrial processes nowadays.
A highly promising alternative method for this issue is the use of advanced porous...
Water and all its ice forms play a central role in everyday life and science and, as a consequence, the scientific community strives to deepen the knowledge about the polymorphism of ice. Beside this, the investigation of the phase diagram of the solid mixture of water and molecular hydrogen at high pressure has been particularly prolific and associated with exciting discoveries. Several solid...
Carbide-derived carbons (CDC) are porous carbon materials with widely different properties like pore size distribution or graphitization [1]. In this study, quasi-elastic neutron scattering method was used to investigate the hydrogen diffusion in the well-defined pores of three distinct CDC materials [2]. Namely, the predominant shape of pores of the studied CDCs had been shown to be different...
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials that contain metal-ion nodes and organic ligands as linkers to form 1-, 2-, and 3-D structures. Their structural versatility and multifunctional properties have sparked much interest in advanced materials synthesis. Due to their modular nature, many of these materials can be constructed by design. Over the last decade there are several...
