✦ Synopsis
An improved synthesis process was developed for large-scale production of a highly porous material, [Cu 3 (BTC) 2 (H 2 O) x ] n , i.e., polymeric copper(II) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate with molecular-sieve character, denoted as Cu-BTC, where BTC denotes benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate. A series of sorption properties for nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, ethylene, ethane, n-dodecane, and water were studied. A detailed investigation of sorption thermodynamics was performed for carbon dioxide by a sorption-isosteric method. The experimental results show that Cu-BTC can be used for separation of gas mixtures such as carbon dioxide-carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide-methane and ethylene-ethane mixtures. In addition, air can be purified effectively from carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, high-molecular weight hydrocarbons and moisture.

Carbon molecular sieving (CMS) membranes have been found to have exceptional gas separation properties with high-purity feeds. The basic nature of the carbon itself, however, makes these membranes vulnerable to compounds typically found in industrial process streams. Because of their organophilic na
## Abstract A major challenge in silica membranes for gas separation is to maintain a robust pore structure in the presence of steam. In this work, use of a carbonized template is proposed to reduce damage to the pore structure by inhibiting silica migration along the membrane pore surface. This de
