Description
Summary:Organic solvent separations could revolutionize the field of separations by enabling new low energy, low carbon emission technologies. Microporous materials are potential game changers for these challenging separations due to their ability to provide superb size and shape discrimination; however, large-scale application of these materials has yet to be adopted. This critical perspective will discuss the current state of the art in the separation of similarly sized organic molecules via microporous membranes and provide key focus areas for future research.
