Development of HASClay^® as a high-performance adsorption material

— Developing adsorbents for energy conservation systems from a kind of clay nanoparticle —

Abstract

Given the need to reduce greenhouse gases, we have developed an inorganic porous material, HASClay, which possesses excellent water vapor adsorptive efficiency, and the ability to dehydrate using a low grade heat source. In this paper, we explain how the synthetic process of HASClay was developed from a study of naturally existing clay and nanomaterials, and the requirements for widespread use as an adsorption material for energy conservation.
