EHS has many advantages over conventional separation systems (e.g., it is not energy intensive, it is environmentally-friendly with near-zero pollutants, it is known for its silent operation, and, the greatest advantage, simultaneous compression and purification can be achieved in a one-step operation).
Gas hydrates are ice-like non-stoichiometric compounds which are formed by trapping of gas (guest) molecules into hydrogen-bonded water molecules (host) [ 1, 16, 17 ]. They usually form under high-pressure and low-temperature conditions, with the host and guest molecules bonding together via van der Waals forces.
In addition to the binary mixture separations, a six-component CH 4 /C 2 H 6 /C 3 H 8 /H 2 S/CO 2 /H 2 O gas mixture separation by MOFs was also investigated to evaluate the adsorption capacity of H 2 S + CO 2 (N …

Table 2 details the world''s green hydrogen production capacity (in EJ) and potential by region distributed on continents. The top high potential was in sub-Saharan Africa, at ~28.6%, followed by the Middle East and North Africa, at ~21.3%. Then, the following other regions across the continent are listed. Table 2:
The main sources of CO 2 emissions of the HB process are associated with feedstock synthesis (i.e. N 2 and H 2), and energy-intensive gas compression to >100 bar [4, 37]. Alternative, low-carbon direct pathways to NH 3 have been pursued, spanning from electrochemical, photo-electrochemical, electromagnetic, thermocyclic and plasma …
Adsorptive separation is very important in industry. Generally, the process uses porous solid materials such as zeolites, activated carbons, or silica gels as adsorbents. With an ever increasing need for a more efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally benign procedure for gas separation, adsorbents with
