Came across this new technology out of CSIRO that promises to allow significant advances in CO2 and gas separation and water purification…
CSIRO, through the Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, in partnership with Hanyang University in Korea, the University of Texas, has developed a new membrane that mimics pores found in plants.
| Artist’s impression of a plastic membrane allowing carbon dioxide to move through its hourglass-shaped pores while preventing the movement of methane. |
The development has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation. |
This plastic will help solve problems of small molecule separation, whether related to: |
- clean coal technology
- separating greenhouse gases
- increasing the energy efficiency of water purification
- producing and delivering energy from hydrogen.
