Abstract

By combining advantages of organic and
inorganic materials, organic-inorganic composite membranes are regarded as a
hot research interest in fields of membrane technology and chemical
engineering. This presentation will review our recent progress in
organic-inorganic composite membranes, covering from fundamental study to
engineering application. It aims to give an overview of design, preparation and
application of the organic-inorganic composite membranes used for molecular
separation. Various membrane types with different materials will be involved in
the talk, including ceramic-supported polymer composite membranes, mixed matrix
membranes, and graphene-based membranes. Meanwhile, the presentation will
illustrate typical examples of the membranes applied in fields such as
bio-fuels production, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) recovery, carbon
dioxide capture and so on. In addition, large-scale production and industrial
implementation of the organic-inorganic composite membranes will also be
introduced.
