Abstract
content. For biogas, permeability and selectivity of the 1% ZIF-8 loaded MMMs were found to be 14.6% and 39.64% lesser respectively than the pure gas values. The study thus throws light on the differences in membrane performance with mixtures as compared to ideal values obtained with pure gases and hence underlines the importance of lab-scale testing of the membranes with actual gas mixtures in the intended applications.
