Title: Zeolite design for selective separation processes.

Abstract:

The influence of pore aperture and channel dimensionality, chemical composition and nature of the compensating cations in the adsorption capacity and gas selectivity for industrially relevant applications will be presented:

• CO₂/CH₄ The influence of pore topology and chemical composition in the rational selection of the appropriated zeolite will be discussed.
• Olefin/paraffin separations. The advantage of pure silica zeolites will be presented and the influence of flexibility of separation processes will be demonstrated.
• New targets for zeolite based-separations.
