US 2026/0138112 A1 · DEPOSITION OF ADSORBENT MATERIAL AND/OR CATALYST MATERIAL ON METAL SURFACES OF A CHEMICAL PROCESSING APPARATUS

Abstract

An apparatus is provided for use in a chemical process, which includes at least one metal tube or flow channel having at least one surface with at least one organic linker attached thereto. The at least one organic linker has first and second molecular groups, wherein the first molecular group is configured to bind to the at least one surface, and wherein the second molecular group is configured to bind to at least one compound that functions as an adsorbent or catalyst in the chemical process in order to attach the at least one compound to the at least one surface. Methods of constructing an apparatus for use in a chemical process are also described and claimed.

An apparatus for use in a chemical process, comprising:

at least one metal tube or flow channel having at least one surface with at least one organic linker attached thereto, wherein the at least one organic linker has first and second molecular groups, wherein the first molecular group is configured to bind to the at least one surface, and wherein the second molecular group is configured to bind to at least one compound that functions as an adsorbent or catalyst in the chemical process in order to attach the at least one compound to the at least one surface.

A method of constructing an apparatus for use in a chemical process, the method comprising:

attaching at least one organic linker to at least one surface of at least one metal tube or flow channel of the apparatus, wherein the at least one organic linker has first and second molecular groups, wherein the first molecular group is configured to bind to the at least one surface, and wherein the second molecular group is configured to bind to at least one compound that functions as an adsorbent or catalyst in the chemical process;
and
attaching the at least one compound to the at least one organic linker that is attached to the at least one surface of the at least one metal tube or flow channel in order to attach the at least one compound to the at least one surface.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
