Separation Based on Molecular Level Using Zeolitic Membranes

Introduction Much effort has been directed towards the development of advanced membrane-based separation technologies to facilitate the deployment of sustainability into industrial production processes. By supporting sustainable development through knowledge and creation of dissemination, innovation goals can be revisited and new targets can be set. Currently, an integrated approach towards sustainable process design strongly emphasises the use of membrane separation processes. Zeolite membranes in particular are very attractive alternatives by offering exceptionally high selectivities, which can be used in separation processes based on their ability for molecular sized exclusion and their adsorption and diffusion properties.
