Abstract Mixed matrix membrane (MMM), formed by dispersing fillers in polymer matrix, has attracted researchers’ attention due to its outstanding performance compared to polymeric membrane. However, its widespread use is limited due to high cost of the commercial filler which leads to the studies on alternative low-cost fillers. Recent works have focused on utilizing agricultural wastes as potential fillers in fabricating MMM. A membrane with good permeability and selectivity was able to be prepared at low cost. The objective of this review article is to compile all the available information on the potential agricultural wastes as fillers in fabricating MMM for gas separation application. The gas permeation mechanisms through polymeric and MMM as well as the chemical and physical properties of the agricultural waste fillers were also reviewed. Additionally, the economic study and future direction of MMM development especially in gas separation field were discussed.

农业废弃物吸附剂作为气体分离混合基质膜替代填料的潜力：综述

摘要 混合基质膜（MMM）是将填料分散在聚合物基质中而形成的，由于与聚合物膜相比具有优异的性能而引起了研究人员的关注。然而，由于商业填料成本高，其广泛使用受到限制，这导致对替代低成本填料的研究。最近的工作集中在利用农业废物作为制造 MMM 的潜在填料。能够以低成本制备具有良好渗透性和选择性的膜。这篇评论文章的目的是汇编所有关于在制造用于气体分离应用的 MMM 中作为填料的潜在农业废物的可用信息。还审查了通过聚合物和 MMM 的气体渗透机制以及农业废物填料的化学和物理特性。
