Abstract
Chirality is a basic property of nature. Chiral compounds are widely used in medicine. The pharmacological action of enantiomers in human body varies widely or even opposites. Therefore, the purity of chiral compounds plays an important role in human health and safety. Enantiomer separation is a necessary process to obtain pure chiral compounds. How to efficiently separate enantiomers has been a hot research topic in the world. Chiral membrane separation has many advantages and has great potential in enantiomer separation. The key to chiral membrane separation is the development of membrane materials. At present, many promising new materials have emerged in the field of chiral membrane separation. Unfortunately, systematic reviews of chiral membrane separation are few and far between due to the wide range of disciplines involved. Therefore, Based on chiral membrane materials and starting from the mechanism of chiral membrane separation, this paper systematically describes the research progress in the chiral separation of graphene material membrane, metal–organic framework membrane and polymer membrane. In addition, the challenges and prospects of chiral membrane separation are analyzed. It is hoped that it can be helpful for the further study of chiral membrane separation.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
