A guide to membrane separation based on a variety of porous materials with promising separation applications

Microporous Materials for Separation Membranes offers an in-depth guide that explores microporous materials' potential for membrane applications. The authors--two experts on the topic--examine a wide range of porous materials that have application potential including: microporous silica, porous carbons, zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and porous organic frameworks (POFs).

Comprehensive in scope, the book covers a broad range of topics on membrane separations such as: hydrogen recovery, carbon dioxide capture, air purification, hydrocarbon separation, pervaporation, and water treatment. In addition, this up-to-date resource explores the most recent materials for preparing microporous membranes and explores the most promising applications for industrial use. This important book:

• Examines the use of microporous materials as membranes to perform with different gases and liquids
• Offers an overview of the basic knowledge of membrane separation and an intense examination of separations
• Describes the state-of-the-art of membrane separation with porous materials
• Highlights the most promising applications of industrial interest

Written for scientists working in the fields of membranes, gas and liquid, Microporous Materials for Separation Membranes offers a valuable guide to the potential of microporous materials for membrane applications.
