Multi-Layer Composite (MLC) Membranes for Gas Separation

Multi-Layer Composite (MLC) Membranes represent a paradigm shift in gas separation technology. This advanced volume offers an exhaustive examination of MLC membrane design and utilization, specifically focusing on critical carbon capture applications. Beyond foundational structural mechanics and gas transport modelling, this book guides readers through the practical frontiers of material science. Key areas covered include: the strategic combination of active layers, porous supports, and gutter layers; integration with advanced filler materials (such as MOFs, COFs, and ZIFs etc.); specialized fabrication techniques for diverse industrial streams and detailed process engineering considerations for natural gas purification, biogas upgrading, syngas purification, and post-combustion capture. It serves not only as a comprehensive reference but also as a critical directive, synthesizing current research gaps and providing the cross-cutting knowledge required to achieve reliable, industrial-scale implementation. An indispensable resource for materials scientists, environmental engineers, and chemical engineers.
