“…Usually, there are two techniques to utilise metal-organic frameworks into a membrane: the establishment of metal-organic frameworks into a polymer matrix to produce a combined form membrane and the deposition of a thin film of the metal-organic framework on a spongy substrate (Prasetya et al 2019). Habib et al (2020) have addressed simultaneous improvement in CO 2 permeability and selectivity using unique metal-organic frameworks [ Al 2 (OH) 2 (L) ] (L = biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate) NOTT-300 and polyether-block-amide (Pebax®1657) as a polymer matrix. In contrast to the unadulterated polyetherblock-amide membrane, the incorporation of the framework = biphenyl-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylate) with filler ratio 40% improved the permeability of CO 2 with 380%, and selectivity to 68% for CO 2 ∕CH 4 and CO 2 ∕N 2 selectivity 26%.…”

Human activities have led to a massive increase in $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 emissions as a primary greenhouse gas that is contributing to climate change with higher than $$1\,^{\circ }\hbox {C}$$ 1 ∘ C global warming than that of the pre-industrial level. We evaluate the three major technologies that are utilised for carbon capture: pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxyfuel combustion. We review the advances in carbon capture, storage and utilisation. We compare carbon uptake technologies with techniques of carbon dioxide separation. Monoethanolamine is the most common carbon sorbent; yet it requires a high regeneration energy of 3.5 GJ per tonne of $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 . Alternatively, recent advances in sorbent technology reveal novel solvents such as a modulated amine blend with lower regeneration energy of 2.17 GJ per tonne of $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 . Graphene-type materials show $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 adsorption capacity of 0.07 mol/g, which is 10 times higher than that of specific types of activated carbon, zeolites and metal–organic frameworks. $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 geosequestration provides an efficient and long-term strategy for storing the captured $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 in geological formations with a global storage capacity factor at a Gt-scale within operational timescales. Regarding the utilisation route, currently, the gross global utilisation of $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 is lower than 200 million tonnes per year, which is roughly negligible compared with the extent of global anthropogenic $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 emissions, which is higher than 32,000 million tonnes per year. Herein, we review different $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 utilisation methods such as direct routes, i.e. beverage carbonation, food packaging and oil recovery, chemical industries and fuels. Moreover, we investigated additional $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 utilisation for base-load power generation, seasonal energy storage, and district cooling and cryogenic direct air $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 capture using geothermal energy. Through bibliometric mapping, we identified the research gap in the literature within this field which requires future investigations, for instance, designing new and stable ionic liquids, pore size and selectivity of metal–organic frameworks and enhancing the adsorption capacity of novel solvents. Moreover, areas such as techno-economic evaluation of novel solvents, process design and dynamic simulation require further effort as well as research and development before pilot- and commercial-scale trials.

Freshwater resources are currently insufficient, and another form of freshwater resources, namely, ice, is very interesting except for the issue of how to use new materials for effective purification during the processing procedure. In this article, a new membrane material with multisize pore structure in the cross‐section and intact thin skin layer on the upper and lower surfaces was successfully prepared by adding porogen, filler and setting heating environment during the phase separation process. The membrane exhibits excellent axial deformability, and its elongation at break can reach to 160% strain. Meanwhile, they all show elastic deformation behavior in the range from −60 to 100°C. Even if high content of hydrophobic filler is compounded into these membranes, that is, 5.7 wt% carbon tube content, water contact angle of membrane's surface is only 72.5°, demonstrating obvious hydrophilicity. In addition, in the water purification process, the adsorption rate constant reached ideal value of 0.26 s−1, and the equilibrium adsorption capacity was about 2.8 g/g, showing fast and efficient water purification ability. In the mode of external heating source or the membrane's heat dissipation, these prepared membranes can melt the ice to obtain purified water and exhibit a controllable purification ability in this process.

“…The peak of neat PEBA at 1094 cm −1 referred to the stretching vibration of the C‐O‐C group within the PEO segment. The PA segment also exhibited some relatively sharp peaks at around 3297, 1636 and 1730 cm −1 corresponding to ‐N‐H‐, H‐N‐C=O and O‐C=O groups (respectively) in the hard PA segment 25–53 . Despite the slight differences in membrane preparation methods, the spectra of the two series of membranes were consistent; indicating no reaction of CuBTC.ns with the solvent and no creation of new functional groups.…”

“…PEBA 1657, a polyether block amide composed of 40% polyamide (PA) and 60% polyethylene oxide (PEO), was selected as the polymer material. The impacts of different fillers including MOFs, [25][26][27][28][29][30] carbon nanotubes, 31,32 zeolites, [33][34][35] and other 2D and 3D inorganic materials [36][37][38] were investigated to enhance the CO 2 \CH 4 separation properties of PEBA. It is expected that the flexible structure of polymer chains displays sufficient compatibility with the particles to prohibit sieve-in-a-cage and rigidification defects at the polymer-particle interface.…”

BACKGROUND: Copper-benzene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxylic acid (CuBTC) is a pre-eminent member of the metal-organic framework material family with excellent CO 2 adsorption capacity and size-sieving characteristics for CO 2 /methane (CH 4) separation. Although a few reports have addressed the use of micro-sized CuBTC particles in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), the application of nano-sized particles has not yet been explored. RESULTS: Micro-sized and nano-sized CuBTC particles were synthesized by Cu(NO 3) 2 •3H 2 O and Cu(OH) 2 precursors, respectively. Mixed matrix membranes composed of 5-35 wt% CuBTC in poly (amide-6-b-ethylene oxide) (PEBA) were fabricated to investigate the CO 2 /CH 4 separation performance of the samples. Synthesized particles and membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and field emission scanning electron microscopy techniques. Membrane separation performance was determined at different pressures of pure CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2. At 35 wt% loading of nano-sized CuBTC, CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity were enhanced to 178.9 Barrer and 34.6; 80.3% and 13.8% higher than those of pristine polymer, respectively. The corresponding results for micro-sized CuBTC were 138.9 Barrer and 33.9. A mixed gas permeation test carried out on a mixture of CO 2-CH 4 (10:90 mol%) at 12 bar showed the best separation performance at 25 wt% loading of nano-sized CuBTC with CO 2 permeability of 92.6 Barrer and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 23.1. CONCLUSION: Filler size had a great impact on the MMM separation performance. As a result of the nano-sizing of CuBTC particles, higher CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity could be obtained because of the uniform dispersion of the filler in the matrix and higher interface area/volume.
