New family of chemical structures can effectively remove CO2 from gas mixtures
Stockholm, Sweden (SPX) Jul 20, 2015
A newly discovered family of chemical structures, published in Nature, could increase the value of biogas and natural gas that contains carbon dioxide. The new chemical structures, known as zeolites, have been created by an international team of researchers including Professor Xiaodong Zou and co-workers from the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry at Stockholm University. The zeolites - crystalline aluminosilicates with frameworks that contain windows and cavities the size of sma ... read more
