“…Porous carbon materials such as activated carbon and carbon nanofibers have become even more popular [182]. These materials have often been used as adsorbents, but recently also as gas storage media [183][184][185].…”

Considerable research has been conducted on monolithic catalysts for various applications. Strategies toward coating monoliths are of equal interest and importance. In this paper, the preparation of monoliths and monolithic catalysts have been summarized. More specifically, a brief explanation for the manufacturing of ceramic and metallic monoliths has been provided. Also, different methods for coating γ-alumina, as a secondary support, are included. Techniques used to deposit metal-based species, zeolites and carbon onto monoliths are discussed. Furthermore, monoliths extruded with metal oxides, zeolites and carbon are described. The main foci are on the reasoning and understanding behind the preparation of monolithic catalysts. Ideas and concerns are also contributed to encourage better approaches when designing these catalysts. More importantly, the relevance of monolithic structures to reactions, such as the selective oxidation of alkanes, catalytic combustion for power generation and the preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide, has been described.

Global warming is considered one of the great challenges of the twenty-first century. In order to reduce the ever-increasing amount of methane (CH 4 ) released into the atmosphere, and thus its impact on global climate change, CH 4 storage technologies are attracting significant research interest. CH 4 storage processes are attracting technological interest, and methane is being applied as an alternative fuel for vehicles. CH 4 storage involves many technologies, among which, adsorption processes such as processes using porous adsorbents are regarded as an important green and economic technology. It is very important to develop highly efficient adsorbents to realize techno-economic systems for CH 4 adsorption and storage. In this review, we summarize the nanomaterials being used for CH 4 adsorption, which are divided into non-carbonaceous (e.g., zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, and porous polymers) and carbonaceous materials (e.g., activated carbons, ordered porous carbons, and activated carbon fibers), with a focus on recent research.

“…Modifications such as thick-walled tanks and complex safety valves would be required. The use of adsorbent materials, such as activated carbons and zeolites, among others (Rodriguez-Reinoso & Molina-Sabio, 1992;Parkyns & Quinn, 1995;Sircar et al, 1996;Alcañiz-Monge et al, 1997;Lozano-Castello et al, 2002c;Almansa et al, 2004;Marsh & Rodriguez-Reinoso, 2006;Mentasty et al, 1991;Triebe et al, 1996), for the storage of natural gas at low pressures, is known as adsorbed natural gas (ANG). Pressures are relatively low, of the order of 2 to 4 MPa at room temperature, which represents an interesting alternative for the transport and applications at large scale.…”

“…At this stage, the studies on storage by the ANG method are carried out using the methane, major constituent of the NG. It has been found that the density of the compressed methane at 3.4MPa can be increased in a factor higher than 4 by the use of adsorbents, reaching a relation of methane storage of 180 v/v, which is equivalent to compressed gas at more than 16MPa (Cook et al, 1999;Alcañiz-Monge et al, 1997). Through this chapter, basic concepts regarding adsorption and adsorbents are reviewed as well as their application for the particular study of methane storage, starting point of the ANG process.…”
