Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) is an emerging technology for the separation of organic
solvents that are relevant to the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and fine chemical …

Isolation of propane (C 3 H 8) from propylene (C 3 H 6) is essential in petrochemical
industries to obtain purified C 3 H 6. The commonly practiced cryogenic distillation for C 3 H …

Membrane technology is a promising next-generation gas separation technology and has
drawn tremendous research interest during the past decades. Despite the advanced …

Mixed matrix composite membranes (MMCMs) hold great potential to realize efficient CO 2
removal from natural gas. However, the reduction of separation performance arising from the …

Biological ion channels penetrated through cell membrane form unique transport pathways
for selective ionic conductance. Replicating the success of ion selectivity with mixed matrix …

Abstract Propylene/propane (C 3 H 6/C 3 H 8) separation is a typical energy-intensive
industrial processes and the membrane-based separation technology is promising as its low …

Membrane processes are more efficient for sustainable separations than traditional energy-
intensive technologies, but they suffer from the trade-off limitation about permeability and …
