Hollow-fiber membranes could cut separation costs, energy use
Atlanta GA (SPX) Jul 05, 2014 - Researchers have developed a microfluidic technique for fabricating a new class of metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes inside hollow polymer fibers that are just a few hundred microns in diameter. The new fabrication process, believed to be the first to grow MOF membranes inside hollow fibers, could potentially change the way large-scale energy-intensive chemical separations are done. ... more
