Title: Kai-Jie Chen: Gas-Separation Innovation

Introduction

Kai-Jie Chen is an inventor associated with the University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland. His patent work addresses the purification of gaseous mixtures using a combination of sorbent materials.

Latest Patents

Chen is associated with 1 patent, concerning a method for purifying gaseous mixtures. The method contacts a mixture containing a target gas and at least two other gases with sorbent media made from two or more sorbent materials. Each material is selected to adsorb one of the unwanted gases more selectively than the target gas, helping remove those gases while retaining the target gas.

The approach may be useful for separating ethylene, methane, or propylene from mixtures. The patent also describes sorbent media and an apparatus for carrying out the separation.
