To control CO 2 emission from industries, membrane technology is preferred over conventional technologies due to its numerous advantages including reliability, operational simplicity, and low capital cost. Hollow-fiber mixed-matrix membranes (HFMMMs) exhibit great potential for CO 2 separation. Various inorganic fillers were incorporated into different types of polymeric materials for fabrication of HFMMMs. This review focuses on the performance and issues of HFMMMS based on various materials for CO 2 /CH 4 and CO 2 /N 2 separation. Major features are reflected in the following three aspects: comprehensive study on the performance of HFMMMs for CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 separation, issues with the fabrication of HFMMMs in CO 2 /N 2 and CO 2 /CH 4 separation, and prediction of transport models for HFMMMs in gas separation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
