High throughput development of one carbon molecular sieve for many gas separations

A set of CMS adsorbents was synthesized by pyrolyzing gel-type cation exchange resins (IERs) based on sulfonated poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene). Fifteen different materials were synthesized following a design of experiments (DOE) that included variations on four factors. These factors were divinylbenzene (DVB) content, plus three factors associated with pyrolysis (peak temperature, hold time, and temperature ramp rate). Results revealed that...
