Silica-based zeolite membranes are crystalline, microporous structures designed to selectively separate gases and liquids at the molecular scale. Known for their high thermal and chemical stability, they enable efficient separation of CO?, hydrogen, and other industrial gases under harsh operating conditions. They matter because they replace energy-intensive distillation in many processes, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance resource efficiency in petrochemical refining, clean energy production, and wastewater treatment. Their adoption supports global decarbonization and sustainability goals.
According to BIS Research, silica-based zeolite membrane market was valued at $202.6 million in 2024 and expected to reach $456.8 million by 2034 at a CAGR of 8.57%.
