High-selectivity membranes
proposednot assessed
Membranes that separate salt from water or one gas from another with both high permeability and high selectivity, so that separation needs energy close to the thermodynamic minimum.
Scope
In: polymer, ceramic and two-dimensional-material membranes for desalination and gas separation. Out: thermal separation processes, and sorbents (materials/low-cost-co2-sorbents).
