Mar 7, 2025 · H-ZIF-8 and B-ZIF-8 MMMs were fixed in a membrane module sealed with O-rings. Volumetric flow rates of the feed (single gases or binary gas mixtures) were kept at 50 ml min −1, and permeated gas was removed from the permeate side by sweep gas (He). The pressure difference in both feed and permeate sides was kept at 1 bar.
