Title: Luc Rm Martens: Innovator in Molecular Sieves and Olefin Production
Introduction
Luc Rm Martens is a notable inventor based in Meise, Belgium. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the development of molecular sieves and methods for producing higher olefins. With a total of two patents to his name, Martens continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his field.
Latest Patents
Martens' latest patents include groundbreaking work on molecular sieves with micro and mesoporosity. His first patent describes a crystalline molecular sieve that comprises at least [AlO4] and [PO4] tetrahedral units. This sieve features a first framework structure that defines a set of uniformly distributed pores with an average cross-sectional dimension ranging from about 0.3 to less than 2 nanometers. Additionally, it includes a second framework structure with pores measuring between 2 to 50 nanometers, with the first framework structure preferably of the CHA framework type.
His second patent focuses on the production of higher olefins. This method involves creating a higher olefin product from a C-fraction separated from the hydrocarbon product produced by an oxygenate to olefin reaction unit. The C-fraction primarily contains butenes, which can be directed to a higher olefin reaction unit without the need to remove isobutenes, butanes, or butadiene. This invention is particularly advantageous due to the high olefin content and low contaminant levels of the C-fraction.
