Recent Progress of SAPO-34 Zeolite Membranes for CO2 Separation: A Review

Abstract

In the zeolite family, the silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO)-34 zeolite has a unique chemical structure, distinctive pore size, adsorption characteristics, as well as chemical and thermal stability, and recently, has attracted much research attention. Increasing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions pose a serious environmental threat to humans, animals, plants, and the entire environment. This mini-review summarizes the role of SAPO-34 zeolite membranes, including mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) and pure SAPO-34 membranes in CO2 separation. Specifically, this paper summarizes significant developments in SAPO-34 membranes for CO2 removal from air and natural gas. Consideration is given to a variety of successes in SAPO-34 membranes, and future ideas are described in detail to foresee how SAPO-34 could be employed to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. We hope that this study will serve as a detailed guide to the use of SAPO-34 membranes in industrial CO2 separation.

Selecting Catalysts for Pyrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomass

“…The structures of zeolites can vary, as illustrated in Figure 5, and their connectivity can also vary due to the cages within the channel, in addition to the possible formation of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional channels [79]. Due to their great versatility, zeolites are used in many relevant industrial processes, such as adsorption [80], separation [81] and catalysis [82][83][84].…”

Two‐dimensional MXenes as Emerging Materials: A Comprehensive Review

“…Gas sensing is an interesting research direction as it is applied in controlling air quality and to monitor the pollution. [197,198] Besides the high reactive gases including NO 2 , H 2 S, the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ppm concentration is important for the initial detection of severe disorders like peptic ulcer. Mostly, the small electric noise and high signal output are critical issues during development of gas sensors.…”

MXene and their integrated composite-based acetone sensors for monitoring of diabetes

“…Gas sensing is a growing research direction because of its utilization in air quality management for monitoring air pollution, diagnosis, and breath analysis. 140 Apart from reactive gases like NO 2 , H 2 S, and NH 3 , the identification of VOCs at ppm/ppb concentrations is essential for the early prediction of serious disorders like peptic ulcers. Normally, high noise and signal bandwidth are the two important factors for generating sensitive gas sensors.…”
