A method and system for manufacturing and using a self-supporting structure in processing unit for adsorption or catalytic processes. The self-supporting structure has greater than 50% by weight of the active material in the self-supporting structure to provide an open-celled structure providing access to the active material. The self-supporting structures, which may be disposed in a processing unit, may be used in swing adsorption processes and other processes to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons.

The disclosure is related to EMM-37 materials, processes of making, and uses of the same as well as structure directing agents useful for the preparation of the EMM-37 materials, processes and intermediates for making such structure directing agents.

The present invention relates to a zeolite adsorbent having an external surface area of between 20 m.sup.2.Math.g.sup.1 and 70 m.sup.2.Math.g.sup.1, a mesopore volume (V.sub.meso) of less than or equal to 0.20 cm.sup.3.Math.g.sup.1, and a content of non-zeolite phase (NZP) of less than or equal to 6%, and in which at least one of its dimensions is greater than or equal to 30 m. The invention also relates to the process for preparing said zeolite materials in agglomerated form and to the uses thereof for gas-phase or liquid-phase separation operations.

Provided is a zeolitic adsorbent material. The material is based on LSX zeolite crystals the particle size distribution of which is characterized by a peak width (2) in a range from 6.0 to 20.0, limits included, for a number average diameter (d50) in a range from 0.5 m to 20.0 m. The material has an Si/Al atomic ratio comprised in a range from 1.00 to 1.15, limits included. The lithium content of the material, expressed by weight of Li.sub.2O, is in a range from 9% to 12% by weight relative to the total weight of the material. The material has a non-zeolitic phase (NZP) content such that 0<NZP8% by weight relative to the total weight of the material.

Structured adsorbent beds comprising a high cell density substrate, such as greater than about 1040 cpsi, and a coating comprising adsorbent particles, such as DDR and a binder, such as SiO.sub.2 are provided herein. Methods of preparing the structured adsorbent bed and gas separation processes using the structured adsorbent bed are also provided herein.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling a defect structure in a chabazite (CHA) zeolite membrane, the CHA zeolite membrane having a controlled defect structure by the method and a method of separating CO.sub.2, H.sub.2, or He and water from a mixture of water and an organic solvent using the CHA zeolite membrane, and more particularly, to a method of controlling a defect structure in a CHA zeolite membrane that improves the separation performance by reducing the amount and size of defects formed in the CHA membrane structure when removing organic-structure-directing agents in the membrane through calcination at a low temperature using ozone.

The invention relates to zeolitic absorbents based on at least one zeolite with hierarchical porosity, containing barium or barium and potassium, to the uses thereof for separating para-xylene from aromatic fractions containing 8 carbon atoms, and to the method for separating para-xylene from aromatic fractions containing 8 carbon atoms.

The invention relates to an adsorbent article. The adsorbent article contains zeolitic particles which include at least one zeolitic adsorbent. The zeolitic particles are immobilized with at least one resin. According to one embodiment, the resin is in the form of particles, which can be melted to form bridges at points of contact between the zeolitic particles, thus immobilizing the zeolitic particles. The average size of the zeolitic particles can be between 0.03 mm and 3 mm. The zeolitic particles contain at least one zeolite and the zeolite content of the article is at least 60 weight percent, based on the weight of the article. The invention also relates to a method for separating a fluid from another fluid or from impurities, by contacting the fluid with the adsorbent article.
