Chemical Vapor Deposition Technique to Fabricate Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8/Polysulfone Membrane for CO2/CH4 Separation
The low-temperature chemical vapor deposition was used to coat zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 crystals onto the selective layer of polysulfone membrane to obtain a composite membrane. The chemical vapor deposition was performed by a reaction between zinc and 2-Methyl-1H-imidazole vapor at room con...

Zusammenfassung: | The low-temperature chemical vapor deposition was used to coat zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 crystals onto the selective layer of polysulfone membrane to obtain a composite membrane. The chemical vapor deposition was performed by a reaction between zinc and 2-Methyl-1H-imidazole vapor at room conditions. The physical and chemical properties of the obtained composite membrane were characterized using material analysis methods. The effects of feed pressure and age of the membranes on CO
