Brief description Synthesis of novel microporous metallosilicate adsorbents. Nano-engineered materials will play an enormous role in the 21st century. As our understanding of the molecular structure of materials improves and our manipulation techniques develop, it will become possible to create materials that direct desirable reactions and separations with unprecedented yields and specificity. The proposed work aims to develop novel synthetic microporous metallosilicates using a variety of experimental approaches to nano-engineer superior adsorbents for gas separations. We expect the project to contribute to fundamental knowledge of creating tailor-made microporous adsorbents and lead to important fundamental and applied intellectual property for Australian industry.
