DESCRIPTION:Prof. Coronas Joaquin\nChemical and Environmental Engineering 
 Department and Instituto de Nanociencia de Aragon (INA)\, Universidad de Z
 aragoza\, Zaragoza\, Spain\nCurrent polymer membrane materials applied for
  gas separation are not good enough to satisfy the permeability-selectivit
 y requirements: there is a trade-off between both parameters that limits i
 ts application\, even though gas seperation membranes are much more energy
  efficient than other gas separation technologies. MOF (metal-organic fram
 ework) based membranes (both mixed matrix membranes and continuous membran
 es) could constitute the definitive separation systems to afford this chal
 lenge task. MOFs are porous crystalline organic/inorganic materials with p
 ore apertures ranging from 0.3 nm to 1.7 nm\, i.e. appropriate to produce 
 molecular sieving and preferential absorption effects\, promoting the sepa
 ration of\, for instance\, precombustion (H2/CO2) and postcombustion (CO2/
 N2) mixtures.
