Abstract
Penetrant-induced plasticization has prevented the industrial deployment of many polymers for membrane-based gas separations. With the advent of microporous polymers, new structural design features and unprecedented property sets are now accessible under controlled laboratory conditions, but property sets can often deteriorate due to plasticization. Therefore, a critical understanding of the origins of plasticization in microporous polymers and the development of strategies to mitigate this effect are needed to advance this area of research. Herein, an integrative discussion is provided on seminal plasticization theory and gas transport models, and these theories and models are compared to an exhaustive database of plasticization characteristics of microporous polymers. Correlations between specific polymer properties and plasticization behavior are presented, including analyses of plasticization pressures from pure-gas permeation tests and mixed-gas permeation tests for pure polymers and composite films. Finally, an evaluation of common and current state-of-the-art strategies to mitigate plasticization is provided along with suggestions for future directions of fundamental and applied research on the topic.

Abstract
In this study, high-performance FAU (NaY type) zeolite membranes were successfully synthesized using small-sized seeds of 50 nm, and their gas separation performance was systematically evaluated. Employing nano-sized NaY seeds and an ultra-dilute reaction solution with a molar composition of 80 Na2O: 1Al2O3: 19 SiO2: 5000H2O, the effects of synthesis temperature, crystallization time, and porous support (α-Al2O3 or mullite) on the formation of FAU membranes were investigated. The results illustrated that further extending the crystallization time or increasing the synthesis temperature led to the formation of a NaP impurity phase on the FAU membrane layer. The most promising FAU membrane with a thickness of 2.7 µm was synthesized on an α-Al2O3 support at 368 K for 8 h and had good reproducibility. The H2 permeance of the membrane was as high as 5.34 × 10-7 mol/(m2 s Pa), and the H2/C3H8 and H2/i-C4H10 selectivities were 183 and 315, respectively. The C3H6/C3H8 selectivity of the membrane was as high as 46, with a remarkably high C3H6 permeance of 1.35 × 10-7 mol/(m2 s Pa). The excellent separation performance of the membrane is mainly attributed to the thin, defect-free membrane layer and the relatively wide pore size (0.74 nm).

Abstract
Fine control of ultramicroporosity (<7 Å) in carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes is highly desirable for challenging gas separation processes. Here, a versatile approach is proposed to fabricate hybrid CMS (HCMS) membranes with unique textural properties as well as tunable ultramicroporosity. The HCMS membranes are formed by pyrolysis of a polymer nanocomposite precursor containing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a carbonizable nanoporous filler. The MOF-derived carbonaceous phase displays good compatibility with the polymer-derived carbon matrix due to the homogeneity of the two carbon phases, substantially enhancing the mechanical robustness of the resultant HCMS membranes. Detailed structural analyses reveal that the in situ pyrolysis of embedded MOFs induces more densified and interconnected carbon structures in HCMS membranes compared to those in conventional CMS membranes, leading to bimodal and narrow pore size distributions in the ultramicroporous region. Eventually, the HCMS membranes exhibit far superior gas separation performances with a strong size-sieving ability than the conventional polymers and CMS membranes, especially for closely sized gas pairs (Δd < 0.5 Å) including CO2 /CH4 and C3 H6 /C3 H8 separations. More importantly, the developed HCMS material is successfully prepared into a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane (≈1 µm), demonstrating its practical feasibility for use in industrial mixed-gas operation conditions.

Abstract
Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have been used as precursors for the fabrication of porous carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes. PIM-1, a prototypical PIM material, uses a fused-ring structure to increase chain rigidity between spirobisindane repeat units. These two factors inhibit effective chain packing, thus resulting in high free volume within the membrane. However, a decrease of pore size and porosity was observed after pyrolytic conversion of PIM-1 to CMS membranes, attributed to the destruction of the spirocenter, which results in the "flattening" of the polymer backbone and graphite-like stacking of carbonaceous strands. Here, a spirobifluorene-based polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-SBF) was synthesized and used to fabricate CMS membranes that showed significant increases in p-xylene permeability (approximately four times), with little loss in p-xylene/o-xylene selectivity (13.4 versus 14.7) for equimolar xylene vapor separations when compared to PIM-1-derived CMS membranes. This work suggests that it is feasible to fabricate such highly microporous CMS membranes with performances that exceed current state-of-the-art zeolites at high xylene loadings.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes have impressive separation properties; however, both chemical and morphology structures need to be understood better. Here we characterize CMS with the simplest polyimide (PI) PMDA/pPDA (PMDA=pyromellitic dianhydride, pPDA=p-phenylenediamine), using FTIR, solid-state 15 N-NMR and 13 C-NMR, XPS, XRD, and Raman spectra to study chemical structure. We also compare gas separation properties for this CMS to a CMS derived from a more conventional PI precursor. The detailed characterization shows the presence of aromatic pyridinic, pyrrolic rings as well as graphitic, pyridonic components and a few other groups in both CMS types derived from the very different precursors. The CMS morphologies, while related to precursor and pyrolysis temperature details, show similarities consistent with a physical picture comprising distributed molecular sieving plate-like structures. These results assist in understanding diverse CMS membrane separation performance.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes have been developed to replace or support energy-intensive cryogenic distillation for olefin/paraffin separation. Olefin and paraffin have similar molecular properties, but can be separated effectively by a CMS membrane with a rigid, slit-like pore structure. A variety of polymer precursors can give rise to different outcomes in terms of the structure and performance of CMS membranes. Herein, for olefin/paraffin separation, the CMS membranes derived from a number of polymer precursors (such as polyimides, phenolic resin, and polymers of intrinsic microporosity, PIM) are introduced, and olefin/paraffin separation properties of those membranes are summarized. The effects from incorporation of inorganic materials into polymer precursors and from a pyrolysis process on the properties of CMS membranes are also reviewed. Finally, the prospects and future directions of CMS membranes for olefin/paraffin separation and aging issues are discussed.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS)-based membrane separation is a promising solution for hydrogen separation due to its great advantages on perm-selectivity, thermal stability, and chemical stability. To prepare high-performance CMS membranes, the molecular structure of polymer precursors and their arrangements should be primarily considered. In this work, a benzimidazole-based 6FDA (2,2'-bis(3,4'-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride)-type polyimide (PABZ-6FDA-PI) is chosen as precursor to prepare the CMS membrane. Effects of chain flatness and contortion in the polyimide precursor on gas-separation performance of CMS membranes were studied in detail by gas adsorption and permeation experiment. The H2 permeability of CMS is up to 9500 Barrer and ideal selectivity of gas pairs of H2 /CH4 and H2 /CO2 is up to 3800 and 13, respectively. The comprehensive performance of hydrogen separation including H2 /CO2 , H2 /N2 , and H2 /CH4 gas pairs is located well above previously reported upper bounds for polymers.

Abstract
Efficient olefin/paraffin separation is a grand challenge because of their similar molecular sizes and physical properties, and is also a priority in the modern chemical industry. Membrane separation technology has been demonstrated as a promising technology owing to its low energy consumption, mild operation conditions, tunability of membrane materials, as well as the integration of physical and chemical mechanisms. In this work, inspired by the physical mechanism of mass transport in channel proteins and the chemical mechanism of mass transport in carrier proteins, recent progress in channel-based and carrier-based membranes toward olefin/paraffin separations is summarized. Further, channel-based membranes are categorized into membranes with network structures and with framework structures according to the morphology of channels. The separation mechanisms, separation performance, and membrane stability in channel-based and carrier-based membranes are elaborated. Future perspectives toward membrane-based olefin/paraffin separation are proposed.

[PMID: 32998417 PMCID: PMC7599519 DOI: 10.3390/membranes10100267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This research introduces zeolite carbon composite (ZCC) as a new filler on polymeric membranes based on the BTDA-TDI/MDI (P84) co-polyimide for the air separation process. The separation performance was further improved by a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating to cover up the surface defect. The incorporation of 1 wt% ZCC into P84 co-polyimide matrix enhanced the O2 permeability from 7.12 to 18.90 Barrer (2.65 times) and the O2/N2 selectivity from 4.11 to 4.92 Barrer (19.71% improvement). The PDMS coating on the membrane further improved the O2/N2 selectivity by up to 60%. The results showed that the incorporation of ZCC and PDMS coating onto the P84 co-polyimide membrane was able to increase the overall air separation performance.

Abstract
The diamine monomer, 9,9-bis[4-(4-amino-3-hydroxylphenoxy)phenyl] fluorene (bis-AHPPF) was successfully synthesized according to our modified method. A series of hydroxyl-containing poly(ether-imide)s (HPEIs) were prepared by polycondensation of the bis-AHPPF diamine with six kinds of dianhydrides, including 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic diandhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA), 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidine)diphtalic anhydride (6FDA) followed by thermal imidization. The corresponding thermally rearranged (TR) membranes were obtained by solid state thermal treatment at high temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The chemical structure, and physical, thermal and mechanical properties of the HPEI precursors were characterized. The effects of heat treatment temperature and dianhydrides on the gas transport properties of the poly(ether-benzoxazole) (PEBO) membranes were also investigated. It was found that these HPEIs showed excellent thermal and mechanical properties. All the HPEI precursors underwent thermal conversion in a N2 atmosphere with low rearrangement temperatures. The gas permeabilities of the PEBO membranes increased with the increase of thermal treatment temperature. When HPEI-6FDA was treated at 450 °C for 1 h, the H2, CO2, O2 and N2 permeabilities of the membrane reached 239.6, 196.04, 46.41 and 9.25 Barrers coupled with a O2/N2 selectivity of 5.02 and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 21.19. In six TR-PEBOs, PEBO-6FDA exhibited the lowest rearrangement temperature and largest gas permeabilities. Therefore, thermally rearranged membranes from bis-AHPPF-based HPEIs are expected to be promising materials for gas separation.

Abstract
Ultra-thin composite carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes were fabricated on well-defined inorganic alumina substrates using a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) as a precursor. Details of the pyrolysis-related structural development were elucidated using focused-beam, interference-enhanced spectroscopic ellipsometry (both in the UV-vis and IR range), which allowed accurate determination of the film thickness, optical properties as well as following the chemical transformations. The pyrolysis-induced collapse of thin and bulk PIM-derived CMS membranes was compared with CMS made from a well-known non-PIM precursor 6FDA-DABA. Significant differences between the PIM and non-PIM precursors were discovered and explained by a much larger possible volume contraction in the PIM. In spite of the differences, surprisingly, the gas separation properties did not fundamentally differ. The high-temperature collapse of the initially amorphous and isotropic precursor structure was accompanied by a significant molecular orientation within the formed turbostratic carbon network guided by the laterally constraining presence of the substrate. This manifested itself in the development of uniaxial optical anisotropy, which was shown to correlate with increases in gas separation selectivity for multiple technologically important gas pairs. Reduction of CMS skin thickness significantly below ∼1 μm induced large losses in permeability coefficients with only small to moderate effects on selectivity. Remarkably, skin thickness reduction and physical aging seemed to superimpose onto the same trend, which explains and strengthens some of the earlier fundamental insights.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs), comprising an inorganic filler phase embedded in a polymer matrix, have emerged as a promising alternative to overcome limitations of conventional polymer and inorganic membranes. However, while much effort has been devoted to MMMs in practice, their modeling is largely based on early theories for transport in composites. These theories consider uniform transport properties and driving force, and thus models for the permeability in MMMs often perform unsatisfactorily when compared to experimental permeation data. In this work, we review existing theories for permeation in MMMs and discuss their fundamental assumptions and limitations with the aim of providing future directions permitting new models to consider realistic MMM operating conditions. Furthermore, we compare predictions of popular permeation models against available experimental and simulation-based permeation data, and discuss the suitability of these models for predicting MMM permeability under typical operating conditions.

Abstract
Carbon molecular sieve (CMS)-based membranes have attracted great attention because of their outstanding gas-separation performance. The polymer precursor is a key point for the preparation of high-performance CMS membranes. In this work, a microporous polyimide precursor containing a Tröger's base unit was used for the first time to prepare CMS membranes. By optimizing the pyrolysis procedure and the soaking temperature, three TB-CMS membranes were obtained. Gas-permeation tests revealed that the comprehensive gas-separation performance of the TB-CMS membranes was greatly enhanced relative to that of most state-of-the-art CMS membranes derived from polyimides reported so far.
