Abstract
A novel hybrid membrane was developed on the basis of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PA) by introducing an original complex modifier into the polymer; this modifier consisted of equal amounts of heteroarm star macromolecules with a fullerene C60 core (HSM) and the ionic liquid [BMIM][Tf2N] (IL). The effect of the (HSM:IL) complex modifier on characteristics of the PA membrane was evaluated using physical, mechanical, thermal, and gas separation techniques. The structure of the PA/(HSM:IL) membrane was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Gas transport properties were determined by measuring He, O2, N2, and CO2 permeation through the membranes based on PA and its composites containing a 5 wt% modifier. The permeability coefficients of all gases through the hybrid membranes were lower than the corresponding parameters for the unmodified membrane, whereas the ideal selectivity in the separation of He/N2, CO2/N2, and O2/N2 gas pairs was higher for the hybrid membrane. The position of the PA/(HSM:IL) membrane on the Robeson's diagram for the O2/N2 gas pair is discussed.

Pervaporation as a Successful Tool in the Treatment of Industrial Liquid Mixtures. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14081604.

Abstract
Pervaporation is one of the most active topics in membrane research, and it has time and again proven to be an essential component for chemical separation. It has been employed in the removal of impurities from raw materials, separation of products and by-products after reaction, and separation of pollutants from water. Given the global problem of water pollution, this approach is efficient in removing hazardous substances from water bodies. Conventional processes are based on thermodynamic equilibria involving a phase transition such as distillation and liquid-liquid extraction. These techniques have a relatively low efficacy and nowadays they are not recommended because it is not sustainable in terms of energy consumption and/or waste generation. Pervaporation emerged in the 1980s and is now becoming a popular membrane separation technology because of its intrinsic features such as low energy requirements, cheap separation costs, and good quality product output. The focus of this review is on current developments in pervaporation, mass transport in membranes, material selection, fabrication and characterization techniques, and applications of various membranes in the separation of chemicals from water.

A Review of Recent Developments of Pervaporation Membranes for Ethylene Glycol Purification. MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12030312. [PMID: 35323787 PMCID: PMC8956067 DOI: 10.3390/membranes12030312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Ethylene glycol (EG) is an essential reagent in the chemical industry including polyester and antifreeze manufacture. In view of the constantly expanding field of EG applications, the search for and implementation of novel economical and environmentally friendly technologies for the separation of organic and aqueous–organic solutions remain an issue. Pervaporation is currently known to significantly reduce the energy and resource consumption of a manufacturer when obtaining high-purity components using automatic, easily scalable, and compact equipment. This review provides an overview of the current research and advances in the pervaporation of EG-containing mixtures (water/EG and methanol/EG), as well as a detailed analysis of the relationship of pervaporation performance with the membrane structure and properties of membrane materials. It is discussed that a controlled change in the structure and transport properties of a membrane is possible using modification methods such as treatment with organic solvents, introduction of nonvolatile additives, polymer blending, crosslinking, and heat treatment. The use of various modifiers is also described, and a particularly positive effect of membrane modification on the separation selectivity is highlighted. Among various polymers, hydrophilic PVA-based membranes stand out for optimal transport properties that they offer for EG dehydrating. Fabricating of TFC membranes with a microporous support layer appears to be a viable approach to the development of productivity without selectivity loss. Special attention is given to the recovery of methanol from EG, including extensive studies of the separation performance of polymer membranes. Membranes based on a CS/PVP blend with inorganic modifiers are specifically promising for methanol removal. With regard to polymer wettability properties, it is worth mentioning that membranes based on hydrophobic polymers (e.g., SPEEK, PBI/PEI, PEC, PPO) are capable of exhibiting much higher selectivity due to diffusion limitations.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol (EG) is widely used in various economic and industrial fields. The demand for its efficient separation and recovery from water is constantly growing. To improve the pervaporation characteristics of a poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) membrane in dehydration of ethylene glycol, the modification with graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles was used. The effects of the introduction of various GO quantities into the PPO matrix on the structure and physicochemical properties were studied by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force (AFM) microscopies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), swelling experiments, and contact angle measurements. Two types of membranes based on PPO and PPO/GO composite were developed: dense membranes and supported membranes on a fluoroplast substrate (MFFC). Transport properties of the developed membranes were evaluated in the pervaporation dehydration of EG in a wide concentration range (10–90 wt.% and 10–30 wt.% water for the dense and supported membranes, respectively). The supported PPO/GO(0.7%)/MFFC membrane demonstrated the best transport properties in pervaporation dehydration of EG (10–30 wt.% water) at 22 °C: permeation flux ca. 15 times higher compared to dense PPO membrane—180–230 g/(m2·h)), 99.8–99.6 wt.% water in the permeate. The membrane is suitable for the promising industrial application.

Abstract
Modification of polymer matrix by hybrid fillers is a promising way to produce membranes with excellent separation efficiency due to variations in membrane structure. High-performance membranes for the pervaporation dehydration were produced by modifying poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) to facilitate lactic acid purification. Ionic liquid (IL), heteroarm star macromolecules (HSM), and their combination (IL:HSM) were employed as additives to the polymer matrix. The composition and structure of hybrid membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the membranes surface and cross-section morphology. It was established that the inclusion of modifiers in the polymer matrix leads to the change of membrane structure. The influence of IL:HSM was also studied via sorption experiments and pervaporation of water‒lactic acid mixtures. Lactic acid is an essential compound in many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, chemical, while the recovering and purifying account for approximately 50% of its production cost. It was found that the membranes selectively remove water from the feed. Quantum mechanical calculations determine the favorable interactions between various membrane components and the liquid mixture. With IL:HSM addition, the separation factor and performance in lactic acid dehydration were improved compared with pure polymer membrane. The best performance was found for (HSM: IL)-PPO/UPM composite membrane, where the permeate flux and the separation factor of about 0.06 kg m−2 h−1 and 749, respectively, were obtained. The research results demonstrated that ionic liquids in combination with star macromolecules for membrane modification could be a promising approach for membrane design.

Abstract
Hybrid membranes based on poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) modified with heteroarm stars (HAS) were developed to separate ethylene glycol/water mixtures by pervaporation. The HAS consist of a small branching center fullerene C 60 and twelve arms of different nature, six arms of nonpolar polystyrene and six arms of polar poly-tert-butyl methacrylate. The changes of structure and physical properties with HAS inclusion were systematically studied using SEM, X-ray diffraction analysis, TGA, and contact angle measurements. Mass transfer of ethylene glycol and water through membranes was studied by sorption and pervaporation tests. It was found that the growth of HAS content up to 5 wt% in the membrane leads to an increase in the total flux and a strong increase in the separation factor. To evaluate intrinsic properties of the penetrant–membrane system, permeability and selectivity were calculated. Overall, utilizing star-shaped macromolecules as a filler can be a promising way to improve the separation performance of diffusion membranes.
