Engineered porous aluminosilicate adsorbents: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Parasitic side reactions and mechanical degradation during thermal cycling reduce catalyst life and increase operational downtime. These innovations control chemical byproduct formation and structural integrity to maintain high-purity hydrocarbon recovery.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Engineered porous aluminosilicate adsorbents?

Adsorbent bed mechanical degradation

(13)evidences

Mechanical instability of adsorbents leads to structural failure during high-pressure cycles. Unwanted chemical side reactions during regeneration cycles create contaminants like dimethyl ether.

Selective acid gas contamination

(9)evidences

Fluid streams contain corrosive and toxic acidic impurities that degrade product quality and damage infrastructure. Removing these contaminants ensures safety and prevents downstream equipment failure.

Hazardous aqueous metal contamination

(4)evidences

Uncontrolled release of hazardous vapors from fuel systems and industrial wastewater. Preventing these emissions ensures regulatory compliance and environmental safety.
