Synthesis of ZIF-8 tubular membrane via solvent evaporation seeding coupled with microwave assisted heating method for separation of small molecule gases

In this work, we systematically study the performance of tubular ZIF-8 membranes in the separation of small molecules including H2, CO2, N2 and CH4. The tubular ZIF-8 membranes were synthesized on α-alumina support via novel dual approach known as solvent evaporation seeding coupled with microwave...
