Abstract:
The use of gas fuel has considerable environmental advantages over traditional types of fuel based on petroleum products or fossil coal. The adsorption technology for methane (natural gas) accumulation, storage and transportation can serve as the connecting link for the system providing gas supply to customers. The review considers characteristics of adsorption systems for methane storage. The key methods used for the synthesis of microporous carbon adsorbents based on various organic and inorganic carbon-containing compounds are described. Methods for increasing the efficiency of the adsorption systems for methane storage based on carbon adsorbents are analyzed. Theoretical approaches to optimization of the properties of methane–carbon adsorbent systems are discussed. Bibliography — 174 references.
