Molecular separation processes are essential in the production of clean water, pharmaceuticals, commodity and specialty chemicals, and fuels. In downstream chemical processes, selective removal of high-valued chemicals is required for the production of synthetic fibers, solvents, and films and is currently performed using energy-intensive techniques such as distillation. Membrane based processes and porous solid based processes have strong potential to further reduce the energy intensity of chemical separations when advanced functional materials are integrated with the scalable membrane platform. In this talk, molecularly-selective separation processes derived from various materials spanning from intrinsically microporous polymers, carbon molecular sieve (CMS) and metal-organic framework (MOF) will be presented. |
