CM-Tec
Porous Materials
R&D on Porous Materials
Our research team is very experienced in porous material research and development. In the
recent years, CM-Tec has been awarded with a wide range of SBIR/STTR R&D programs,
including the researches on ammonia, oxygen, natural gas storages, gas separation and
purification, by using different porous materials developed by ourselves. In the following, there
are some typical R&D activities in CM-Tec:
Flue Gas Purification – technologies for industrial flue gas purification are being developed,
which may remove various harmful contaminants from flue gases.
High Micropore Volume Activated Carbon for Gas Storage – CM-Tec is currently developing
a series of microporous activated carbon materials. The carbon materials possess large
micropore (pores with sizes less than 20Å) volume (~ 1.20 cc/gram), and large BET surface
area (~ 2,950 m2/gram). These carbon materials are particularly suitable for low-pressure
gas storage applications, such as oxygen, ammonia, and natural gas storages.
Adsorbent for Natural Gas purification – Natural gas is a clean fuel in comparison with coal
and petroleum. It can be used as fuel supply to gas engines and heating units, and also used
as a hydrogen source feeding fuel cell systems. Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage
technology is an important and promising solution to the natural gas storage and distribution
or supply. However, the impurities in natural gas such as heavier hydrocarbons, water vapor,
carbon dioxide, and sulfur compounds may pose adverse influence to the ANG system. To
prevent this problem, a purifier or guard column should be included in the ANG system. For
this purpose, in CM-Tec, several adsorbents which can efficiently remove impurities from
natural gas have been identified and packed into guard columns. Please see our guard
column products.
Furthermore, upon your request, we can provide you the support in the synthesis of porous
materials such as activated carbon and porous polymer particles, and in the selection of
adsorbent for applications of gas separation, storage, and purification, etc.
Porous Material Analysis
The isotherm, breakthrough, and kinetics properties of porous materials can be investigated
by using the custom-made apparatus in our lab. For instance, we perform the following lab
tests:
● High pressure gas/vapor adsorption isotherm measurement, including hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, natural gas, etc.
● Gas/vapor adsorption breakthrough curve measurement, including mercury vapor, sulfur
dioxide, NO, and water vapor, etc.
We can also perform surface analysis on porous materials for our customers by accessing
the University of Delaware's facilities due to our consortium relationship with UD's Center for
Catalyst Science and Technology (CCST).
