Abstract
The present work deals with the modification of casting solutions for polysulfone gas separation membranes fabricated by wet-phase inversion. The aim was to fabricate membranes with thin gas separation layers below one micrometer of thickness and a sponge-like support structure. With decreasing thicknesses of the separation layers, increasing permselectivities were observed. For the first time, we could show that permeabilities and diffusion coefficients of certain gases are orders of magnitude lower in separation layers of membranes below 500 Å of thickness compared to separation layers with a thickness above 1 micrometer. These results indicate that the selection of the solvent system has a huge impact on the membrane properties and that the permeability and diffusion coefficient are not material-related properties. Thus, they cannot be applied as specific indicators for gas-separating polymers. In this publication, scanning electron microscopy and gas permeation measurements were carried out to prove the gas separation properties and morphologies of polysulfone membranes.

Novel Cellulose Triacetate (CTA)/Cellulose Diacetate (CDA) Blend Membranes Enhanced by Amine Functionalized ZIF-8 for CO 2 Separation. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13172946. [PMID: 34502985 PMCID: PMC8434370 DOI: 10.3390/polym13172946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 08/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, cellulose acetate (CA) membranes dominate membrane-based CO2 separation for natural gas purification due to their economical and green nature. However, their lower CO2 permeability and ease of plasticization are the drawbacks. To overcome these weaknesses, we have developed high-performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) consisting of cellulose triacetate (CTA), cellulose diacetate (CDA), and amine functionalized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (NH2-ZIF-8) for CO2 separation. The NH2-ZIF-8 was chosen as a filler because (1) its pore size is between the kinetic diameters of CO2 and CH4 and (2) the NH2 groups attached on the surface of NH2-ZIF-8 have good affinity with CO2 molecules. The incorporation of NH2-ZIF-8 in the CTA/CDA blend matrix improved both the gas separation performance and plasticization resistance. The optimized membrane containing 15 wt.% of NH2-ZIF-8 had a CO2 permeability of 11.33 Barrer at 35 °C under the trans-membrane pressure of 5 bar. This is 2-fold higher than the pristine membrane, while showing a superior CO2/CH4 selectivity of 33. In addition, the former had 106% higher CO2 plasticization resistance of up to about 21 bar and an impressive mixed gas CO2/CH4 selectivity of about 40. Therefore, the newly fabricated MMMs based on the CTA/CDA blend may have great potential for CO2 separation in the natural gas industry.

Performance Analysis of Blended Membranes of Cellulose Acetate with Variable Degree of Acetylation for CO 2/CH 4 Separation. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11040245.

Abstract
The separation and capture of CO2 have become an urgent and important agenda because of the CO2-induced global warming and the requirement of industrial products. Membrane-based technologies have proven to be a promising alternative for CO2 separations. To make the gas-separation membrane process more competitive, productive membrane with high gas permeability and high selectivity is crucial. Herein, we developed new cellulose triacetate (CTA) and cellulose diacetate (CDA) blended membranes for CO2 separations. The CTA and CDA blends were chosen because they have similar chemical structures, good separation performance, and its economical and green nature. The best position in Robeson’s upper bound curve at 5 bar was obtained with the membrane containing 80 wt.% CTA and 20 wt.% CDA, which shows the CO2 permeability of 17.32 barrer and CO2/CH4 selectivity of 18.55. The membrane exhibits 98% enhancement in CO2/CH4 selectivity compared to neat membrane with only a slight reduction in CO2 permeability. The optimal membrane displays a plasticization pressure of 10.48 bar. The newly developed blended membranes show great potential for CO2 separations in the natural gas industry.
