Ministry of Science & Technology developed a new composite membrane called Mixed Matrix Membrane
Current Hunt Team
The Ministry of Science & Technology has developed a newly developed composite membrane made from two or more materials called Mixed Matrix Membrane (MMM).
It will help in the detection of ammonia or other amine leaks in laboratories or industrial settings.
Ammonia and other aliphatic amines are hazardous for human beings. They are used as raw materials for chemical, fertilizer, and food industries.
They are highly toxic and corrosive and become dispersed in the environment.
The detection of ammonia is essential for effective environmental and water monitoring.
It is extremely important for preventing onsite gas leakage and disasters.
The researchers used these to fabricate a mixed matrix membrane of MOF nanosheet that showed a naked-eye colour change in the presence of NH3 and aliphatic amines.
The MMM showed fabricated remarkable colour change when exposed to vapours of different amines.
