Abstract:
In this study, we report a facile ligand-assisted in situ hydrothermal approach for preparation of compact [Al(OH)(1,4-NDC)] (1,4-NDC=1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate) MOF membranes on porous γ-Al2 O3 substrates, which also served as the Al3+ source of MOF membranes. Simultaneously, it was observed that the heating mode exerted significant influence on the final microstructure and separation performance of [Al(OH)(1,4-NDC)] membranes. Compared with the conventional hydrothermal method, the employment of microwave heating led to the formation of [Al(OH)(1,4-NDC)] membranes composed of closely packed nanorods with superior H2 /CH4 selectivity.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
