Fabrication of ZIF-8/Cellulose Acetate Mixed Matrix Membrane for CO2/CH4 Separation

With the drastic change of global warming attributed by the emission of CO2, removal of CO2 has become very important in the sweetening process of natural gas. Development of membrane technology has been advantageous towards the applications in gas separation. This research aims to synthesize ZIF...
