In chemical mix and not enough reacting substances, we must also purify and separate them. Separation processes are a key step in a myriad of industries. Any new method of separating substances in a more effective or economical, has the potential to cause major economic impact.

We are therefore surprised to see today that a new membrane of controlled porosity polymer would be more effective than conventional membranes for gas separation.

According to the press release:

"It can Separate natural carbon dioxide gas from A Few hundred times faster Than plastic membranes and Its current performance is four times Better In Terms of purity of the separated gas."

The separation of carbon dioxide in natural gas hundreds of times faster than current membranes and the purity of the gas is four times higher.

Studies indicate that the material possess intrinsic microporosity, similar to that of activated charcoal or zeolite, but without the fragility of these. One possible advantage is that it would be easier to implement on a ceramic support that the zeolites or activated carbon.
