  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How can common crystals help remove polluting impurities from natural gas and lower costs in the process? In this ingenious talk, Michael Zhu Chen explains how zeolites can be created as membranes to filter natural gas extra, expensive steps in the purification process.
    Michael Zhu Chen's project "The Effects of Operating Conditions on Gas Transport Mechanisms through SAPO-34 Zeolite Membranes" won first award for chemistry in the 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering fair. He is excited to go to Stanford University this fall to study physics and computer science to pursue his dream of becoming a physician scientist. His life goals are to provide medical care to people in underdeveloped areas of the globe and to conduct basic research to advance medical treatments.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    As a zeolite user (drinking in a glass of water and having placed in some places in my home) I can recommend it highly. After using it ( e, kids, mom, husband) I started working in a zeolite exporter & distributor to be closer :) to the source. I have heard many success stories.

      I already did a 2 week zeolite detox..unfortunely i did not notice any difference..no detox symptoms at all..so i stopped it..i am still doing research online.........maybe i did something wrong..anyways..
      So we met again..looool..

      I am doing a fruit and veggie juice and smoothie diet..and only eating raw..for 6 months now..no change..read online that zeolite is the solution..
      Maybe i bought a fake one..lol..

    LNG (liquid natural gas) is of course way better than coal or petroleum, but natural gas (either liquid or gaseous) does NOT solve our problems. In addition, the extraction process called "fracking" can pollute and harm the environment as well as people just as much as conventional fossil fuels. With all due respect, but this TEDx Talk does not propose a viable solution for the long run and is just another part of how oil companies earn money. I study Energy and Environmental Technologies (BSc. of Science) so I know the details of this technology and the physics behind it. If you are interested in a better source of "gas", check out "biomethane", "biogas" and "bioenergy" because this has way more potential, way more benefits and offers your country way more synergies and benefits no matter in which country you live. So, why don't we use biogas more? Because biogas is a renewable energy source with infinite supply that is totally independent from geopolitics - reason enough for big countries/companies to suppress it, but it's getting better every day ;D

    What do we do with what gets left behind? Is there a natural means of getting rid of the pollutants?

    • @flexddd
      @flexddd Před 9 lety

      Rod Haynes The carbon dioxide would likely be dissolved into ocean water below 3,300 ft, through a fixed pipeline or ship. Or stored in carefully selected geological rock formation that are typically located several kilometres below the earth's surface. As for the other pollutants, I'm not entirely sure. However, CO2 is of greatest concern in terms of climate change.
