Abstract:The separation of xylene isomers is of vital importance in chemical industry but remains challenging due to their similar structure and overlapping physiochemical properties. Membrane-based separations using the zeolite MFI, graphene oxide, and metal−organic frameworks have been intensively studied for this application, but the performance is limited by the well-known rule that the filtrate permeance scales inversely with the membrane thickness. We propose a novel membrane design that is capable of breaking th… Show more
