Effect of zeolite concentration on development of polyethersulfone mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for o2/n2 separation

The membrane gas separation is an effective economical process to separate gas such as oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N) gases. The limited selectivity and permeability trade off of plain polymeric membrane have force researchers in finding alternatives to improve polymeric membrane performance. With the...
