Queen’s University Belfast launched a new spinout called Porous Liquid Technologies last week to commercialise liquid materials with microscopic pores designed to purify industrial products more efficiently.
The spinout is researching porous liquids with more microscopic cavities than found in conventional fluids, potentially facilitating substances with superior absorption capabilities.
Porous’s discovery is geared towards industrial separation processes that isolate specific products from residual impurities. Uses for the liquids might include filtering natural gas reserves to supplant carbon activation-based gas treatments,…
