Mesoporous silica particles after extraction from rice husk ash were used as fillers in polysulfone based mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). The fillers were functionalized with 4-aminophenazone (4-AMP) to enhance the CO2-philic properties. The attractive feature of this research was the utility of extr...
