Advanced Porous Materials and Processes for Biorefinery Separations (Lively/Nair)This project aims demonstrate separations in biorefineries/solvent (e.g., 2,5-
dimethylfuran/n-butanol) mixtures by using carefully selected nanoporous materials
(e.g., UiO-66). Our results show that UiO-66 has much higher affinity for n-butanol
over DMF with an estimated binary n-butanol/DMF selectivity > 9. To achieve higher
diffusion selectivity, we recently focus on tuning the window size via the use of otherdicarboxylate linkers.
