How To Make Molecular Sieve Membrane: A Complete Guide

Molecular sieve membranes are a new type of porous inorganic material developed in the last decade by cross-linking molecular sieve grains.

Did you know that a molecular sieve membrane can separate molecules based on their size and shape? It is based on the dual principle of preferential adsorption and molecular sieving. The separation is achieved by selective adsorption, depending on the size or polarity of the molecules of the mixed system, through molecules of similar size but different polarity.

Today, molecular sieve membranes are commonly used in membrane permeation evaporation liquid separation, membrane-catalyzed reactions, separation of aromatic isomers, alkanes, and olefins, meteorological separation, separation of biochemical products, and environmental protection.
