Abstract
This study involves the synthesis and comparison of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), specifically ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 pristine with a commercial zeolite, emphasizing their CO2 affinity and sorption capability. To overcome challenges persisting in the handling and integration of these materials into industrial adsorption processes, particularly when limited to microcrystalline fine powders, we present herein an innovative manufacturing method to produce standalone monolithic supports. This process involves pseudoplastic paste formulations utilizing polyethylenimine (PEI) as a coagulant and locally fabricated phosphorylated cellulose nanofiber (PCNF) as a binding agent. Rheological investigation was conducted to anticipate the required shaping and design by means of paste flowability, consistency, and stiffness. XRD and FTIR results confirm the preservation of crystalline structure and the occurrence of amine functionalization associated with the presence of PEI, respectively. The proposed method significantly enhances the CO2 adsorption performance of the produced ZIF-8 monolith in comparison with that reached when using the pristine material, achieving a capacity of 1.25-2 mmol·g-1 at 30 °C under dry conditions in a pressure range of 1-13 bar, respectively. In other words, this work clearly highlights an effective applicability of the ZIF-8 monolith as an innovative sorbent for further designing CO2 capture industrial setups.

Abstract
The separation of CO2 from the biogas mixtures (CH4/CO2) is essential for biogas upgradation. However, polymer membranes used for CO2 separation exhibit low permeability. Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs) incorporating inorganic filler in the polymer enhance CO2 separation. In this work, bio-degradable cellulose acetate (CA) based MMMs with varying filler weight percentages (2-20 wt.%) of ZIF-8 were studied for the separation of CO2 from a model biogas (CH4/CO2) mixture. The MMMs were characterized by analysis of TGA and DSC for thermal stability and FTIR for alteration or formation of any new functional group. FESEM was done to evaluate the dispersion and interaction of ZIF-8 in the CA polymer matrix. Considering the economic aspect, the fabricated MMMs were tested for gas separation performance at reasonably lower feed pressure (1.5, 2 bar). MMM with 5 and 10 wt.% of ZIF-8/ CA MMMs showed the best performance with CO2 permeability of 9.65 Barrer and 9.5 Barrer, approximately two folds as compared to pure CA, and CO2/CH4 selectivity was 10.37 and 15.3. The experimental results were compared with the predicted gas permeation results determined using MMM transport predictive models, and found that the permeabilities were higher than the model predictions.

Abstract
Due to low-cost, sustainability and good mechanical stability, cellulose-based materials are frequently used in fabrication of polymeric gas separation membrane as potential carbohydrate polymers to substitute traditional petrochemical-based materials. In this review, the performance of cellulose-based polymeric membranes i.e. cellulose acetate, cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, ethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose in the separation of different gases were investigated. This review paper provides the main features and advantages in the fabrication of cellulose-based gas separation membranes. The influence of the functionalization of cellulose on gas separation and permeability performance of related membranes is considered. Influence of different modification procedures such as blending with polymers, nanomaterials and ionic liquids on the gas separation ability of cellulose-based membranes were reviewed. Moreover, a brief inquiry of the potential of cellulose-based gas separation membranes for industrial applications, by examining the performance of different cellulose derivatives and identifying potential strategies for membrane modification and optimization are given, along with the current restrictions and the future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Photocatalytic technology has been extensively studied in the removal of toxic Cr(VI) from wastewater. However, common powdery photocatalysts suffer from poor recyclability and secondly pollution. Herein, the zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4) particles were integrated onto the sodium alginate foam(SA) matrix through a facile way to obtain foam-shape catalyst. Diverse characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were employed to reveal the composite compositions, organic-inorganic interface interactions, mechanical property, and pore morphology of the foams. Results demonstrated that the ZnIn2S4 crystals wrapped on SA skeleton tightly and constructed a flower-like structure. As-prepared hybrid foam with lamellar structure showed great potential in Cr(VI) treatment due to the presence of macropores and highly available active sites. A maximum Cr(VI) photoreduction efficiency of 93 % were observed over the optimal sample of ZS-1 (with a ZnIn2S4:SA mass ratio of 1:1) under visible irradiation. When tested with mixed pollutants (Cr(VI)/dyes), the ZS-1 sample displayed an enhanced removal efficiency of 98 % for Cr(VI) and 100 % for Rhodamine B(RhB). Moreover, the composite maintained prominent photocatalytic performance and a relatively integral 3D structure scaffold after continuous six runs, revealing its superior reusability and durability.

Abstract
In this study, a flower-like BiVO4/MIL-101-NH2 composite is synthesized by a facile and surfactant-free process. The -COO--Bi3+ ionic bond construction was conductive to enhance the interface affinity between BiVO4 and MIL-101-NH2. Due to the highly efficient light capture and sufficient electron traps induced by oxygen vacancies and the formation of a heterostructure, the improved separation and transportation rates of charge carriers are realized. In addition, the MIL-101-NH2/BiVO4 composite is favorable for Cr(VI) photocatalytic removal (91.2%). Moreover, FNBV-3 (Fe/Bi = 0.25) also exhibited an excellent reusability after five cycles.

Abstract
In this work, in situ polymerization of modified sol-gel silica in a polyether sulfone matrix is presented to control the interfacial defects in organic-inorganic composite membranes. Polyether sulfone polymer and modified silica are used as organic and inorganic components of mixed matrix membranes (MMM). The membranes were prepared with different loadings (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) of modified and unmodified silica. The synthesized membranes were characterized using Field emission electron scanning microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyzer, and differential scanning calorimetry. The performance of the membranes was evaluated using a permeation cell set up at a relatively higher-pressure range (5-30 bar). The membranes appear to display ideal morphology with uniform distribution of particles, defect-free structure, and absence of interfacial defects such as voids and particle accumulations. Additionally, the CO2/CH4 selectivity of the membrane increased with the increase in the modified silica content. Further comparison of the performance indicates that PES/modified silica MMMs show a promising feature of commercially attractive membranes. Therefore, tailoring the interfacial morphology of the membrane results in enhanced properties and improved CO2 separation performance.
