METHODS FOR SYNTHESIS OF HIERARCHICALLY ORDERED CRYSTALLINE MICROPOROUS MATERIALS WITH LONG-RANGE MESOPOROUS ORDER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010662 titled 'METHODS FOR SYNTHESIS OF HIERARCHICALLY ORDERED CRYSTALLINE MICROPOROUS MATERIALS WITH LONG-RANGE MESOPOROUS ORDER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes methods for synthesizing hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials. These materials possess a high degree of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering. The methods involve base-mediated reassembly, where the parent material is dissolved to the level of oligomeric structural building units and then self-assembled to minimize or avoid amorphization/structural collapse. The dissolution and self-assembly process is carefully controlled to produce hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials.
- The patent application describes methods for synthesizing hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials.
- The methods involve base-mediated reassembly of the parent material.
- The dissolution of the parent material is controlled to the level of oligomeric structural building units.
- The self-assembly process minimizes or avoids amorphization/structural collapse.
- The resulting materials possess a high degree of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Catalysis: Hierarchically ordered zeolites can be used as catalysts in various chemical reactions due to their high surface area and controlled porosity.
- Adsorption: These materials can be used for selective adsorption of specific molecules, such as pollutants or gases, from a mixture.
- Separation: Hierarchically ordered zeolites can be utilized in separation processes, such as molecular sieving, to separate molecules based on their size and shape.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering in traditional zeolite synthesis methods.
- Amorphization or structural collapse during the synthesis process, leading to loss of desired properties.
- Limited control over the pore size and distribution in zeolite materials.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced catalytic performance due to the well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering.
- Improved selectivity and efficiency in adsorption and separation processes.
- Greater control over the pore size and distribution, allowing for tailored properties based on specific applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods for synthesis of hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials are provided. synthesized hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials formed according to the methods herein possess a high-degree of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering. the methods include base-mediated reassembly, by dissolution of the parent material to the level of oligomeric structural building units of the parent material, and minimizing or avoiding amorphization/structural collapse. the dissolution and self-assembly is comprehensively controlled to produce hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials according to the methods herein.
