Zeolite membranes for effective production of biofuels
The main goal of this project is to develop inorganic membranes based on functional coatings for demanding chemical environments in the form of microporous zeolite coatings showing high permeance and selectivity and with sufficient thermal and chemical stability to allow integration of the membranes...

Production of renewable fuels by pervaporation through zeolite membranes
In chemical industry, process streams are often a complex mixture of organic components and water. These mixtures are difficult to separate. In this research project, the purpose is to study pervaporation through zeolite membranes in separating water (dehydration) or alternatively organic components...
