Project Description:
Proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing novel Nancomposite mixed matrix membranes in separations of hydrogen and CO2 from binary, ternary, and quaternary gas mixtures of relevance to power generation.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ Nanocomposite mixed matrix membranes will be prepared and tested.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to enable significant progress towards solving the gas separation problem in energy generation systems.
§ Potential to reduce CO2 emissions by effectively separating the CO2 out of flue gas.
