Carbon molecular sieves: production from coal and application in gas separation

Advances in Pressure Swing Adsorption for Gas Separation

“…Information about the adsorption equilibrium of the different species is vital to design and model adsorption processes [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The time required to achieve the equilibrium state may be also important, particularly when the size of the pores of the adsorbent are close to the size of the molecules to be separated [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Carbon Molecular Sieves for Air Separation from Nomex Aramid Fibers

“…A number of procedures and precursors for preparing CMSs have been proposed since Emmett (6) first discovered the molecular sieving property of Saran char. Among the preparation processes, great attention has been paid to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of amorphous carbon on porous activated carbons (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). It has been predicted that CMSs with fibrous shapes can be the best adsorbents for pressure-swing adsorption application (9) because of their rapid adsorption/desorption rate and large adsorption capacity.…”

Physicochemical Properties of Carbon Materials: A Brief Overview

“…This is an increasingly popular subject of computational simulations of varying degree of sophistication [175][176][177][178][179]. Often painstaking evaluation of the degree of pore accessibility using molecular probes of judiciously selected sizes has been useful both at a fundamental level [162,[180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193] and for the potential commercialization of carbon molecular sieves [194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201][202][203][204][205][206][207][208][209][210].…”
