ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:35979-35991. [PMID: 38744769 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33646-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Syngas produced from supercritical water gasification typically contain a high amount of CO2 along with H2. In order to improve the quality of syngas, amine-functionalized copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Cu-BTC) was synthesized as an effective adsorbent for selective removal of CO2 from syngas to increase the concentration of H2. The amines used in this study included monoethanolamine (MEA), ethylenediamine (EDA), and polyethyleneimine (PEI). The fundamental physicochemical character of adsorbents, CO2 adsorption capacity, and CO2/H2 selectivity were analyzed. The physicochemical characterization indicated that the structure of amine-functionalized Cu-BTC was partially damaged, which resulted in a decrease in specific surface area and pore volume. On the other hand, the enlarged pore size was beneficial for the mass transfer of gas in the adsorbent. Among these adsorbents, Cu-BTC/PEI exhibited the maximum CO2 adsorption capacity of 3.83 mmol/g and the highest CO2/H2 selectivity of 19.74. It was found that the adsorption pressure is the most significant factor for the CO2 adsorption capacity. Lower temperature and higher pressure were favored for CO2 adsorption capacity and CO2/H2 selectivity, so physical adsorption by Cu-BTC played a dominant role. Moreover, Cu-BTC/PEI can be well-regenerated with stable adsorption efficiency after five consecutive cycles. These findings suggested that Cu-BTC/PEI could be a promising alternative adsorbent for CO2 capture from syngas.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 14:24.

Abstract
MOF-74 (metal-organic framework) is utilized as a filler in mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) to improve gas selectivity due to its unique one-dimensional hexagonal channels and high-density open metal sites (OMSs), which exhibit a strong affinity for CO2 molecules. Reducing the agglomeration of nanoparticles and improving the compatibility with the matrix can effectively avoid the existence of non-selective voids to improve the gas separation efficiency. We propose a novel, layer-by-layer modification strategy for MOF-74 with graphene oxide. Two-dimensional graphene oxide nanosheets as a supporting skeleton creatively improve the dispersion uniformity of MOFs in MMMs, enhance their interfacial compatibility, and thus optimize the selective gas permeability. Additionally, they extended the gas diffusion paths, thereby augmenting the dissolution selectivity. Compared with doping with a single component, the use of a GO skeleton to disperse MOF-74 into Pebax®1657 (Polyether Block Amide) achieved a significant improvement in terms of the gas separation effect. The CO2/N2 selectivity of Pebax®1657-MOF-74 (Ni)@GO membrane with a filler concentration of 10 wt% was 76.96, 197.2% higher than the pristine commercial membrane Pebax®1657. Our results highlight an effective way to improve the selective gas separation performance of MMMs by functionalizing the MOF supported by layered GO. As an efficient strategy for developing porous MOF-based gas separation membranes, this method holds particular promise for manufacturing advanced carbon dioxide separation membranes and also concentrates on improving CO2 capture with new membrane technologies, a key step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through carbon capture and storage.

Abstract
Capturing CO2 selectively from flue gas and natural gas addresses the criteria of a sustainable society. In this work, we incorporated an ionic liquid (IL) (1-methyl-1-propyl pyrrolidinium dicyanamide, [MPPyr][DCA]) into a metal organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), by wet impregnation and characterized the resulting [MPPyr][DCA]/MIL-101(Cr) composite in deep detail to identify the interactions between [MPPyr][DCA] molecules and MIL-101(Cr). Consequences of these interactions on the CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, and CH4/N2 separation performance of the composite were examined by volumetric gas adsorption measurements complemented by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results showed that the composite offers remarkably high CO2/N2 and CH4/N2 selectivities of 19,180 and 1915 at 0.1 bar and 15 °C corresponding to 1144- and 510-times improvements, respectively, as compared to the corresponding selectivities of pristine MIL-101(Cr). At low pressures, these selectivities reached practically infinity, making the composite completely CO2-selective over CH4 and N2. The CO2/CH4 selectivity was improved from 4.6 to 11.7 at 15 °C and 0.001 bar, yielding a 2.5-times improvement, attributed to the high affinity of [MPPyr][DCA] toward CO2, validated by the DFT calculations. These results offer broad opportunities for the design of composites where ILs are incorporated into the pores of MOFs for high performance gas separation applications to address the environmental challenges.

Abstract
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of two different fillers such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) embedded into polymers provide enhanced gas separation performance. Since it is not possible to experimentally consider all possible combinations of MOFs, COFs, and polymers, developing computational methods is urgent to identify the best performing MOF-COF pairs to be used as dual fillers in polymer membranes for target gas separations. With this motivation, we combined molecular simulations of gas adsorption and diffusion in MOFs and COFs with theoretical permeation models to calculate H2, N2, CH4, and CO2 permeabilities of almost a million types of MOF/COF/polymer MMMs. We focused on COF/polymer MMMs located below the upper bound due to their low gas selectivity for five industrially important gas separations, CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, H2/N2, H2/CH4, and H2/CO2. We further investigated whether these MMMs could exceed the upper bound when a second type of filler, a MOF, was introduced into the polymer. Many MOF/COF/polymer MMMs were found to exceed the upper bounds showing the promise of using two different fillers in polymers. Results showed that for polymers having a relatively high gas permeability (≥104 barrer) but low selectivity (≤2.5) such as PTMSP, addition of the MOF as the second filler can have a dramatic effect on the final gas permeability and selectivity of the MMM. Property-performance relations were analyzed to understand how the structural and chemical properties of the fillers affect the permeability of the resulting MMMs, and MOFs having Zn, Cu, and Cd metals were found to lead to the highest increase in gas permeability of MMMs. This work highlights the significant potential of using COF and MOF fillers in MMMs to achieve better gas separation performances than MMMs with one type of filler, especially for H2 purification and CO2 capture applications.

Abstract
Membrane-based gas separation has a great potential for reducing environmentally hazardous carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The polymeric membranes developed for CO2 capturing have some limitations in their selectivity and permeability. There is a need to overcome these issues and developed such membranes having high-performance CO2 capture with cost-effectiveness. The present study aimed to synthesize mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) having improved properties CO2 adsorption performance and stability than that of pure polymer. Further, the effect on CO2 adsorption by increasing the filler concentration in MMMs was investigated. The MMMs were synthesized by incorporating (1-5 wt%) Cu-MOF-GO composites as filler into cellulose-acetate (CA) polymer matrix by adopting the solution casting method. The performance of MMMs was studied by changing the Cu-MOF-GO composite concentration (1-5 wt%) in the polymer matrix at 45 °C up to 15 bar. Morphological analysis by using SEM confirms that by increasing the concentration of Cu-MOF-GO more than 3% will result in their agglomeration in MMM. The successful incorporation of MOF within the polymer matrix of MMMs was confirmed through the presence of functional groups using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. XRD analysis revealed that pure CA changes its semi-crystalline behaviour into crystalline by the addition of Cu-MOF-GO. The maximum tensile stress and strain rate of MMMs was 45.1 N/mm2 and 12.8%. In addition, with an increase in (4-5 wt%) Cu-MOF-GO concentration the hydrophilicity of MMMs decreases. The maximum uptake rate of CO2 was 1.79 mmol/g and 7.98 wt% at 15 bar. The adsorption results conclude that Cu-MOF-GO composite and CA-based MMM can be effective for CO2 capture.

Abstract
In this study, ZIF-67-based mixed matrix membrane was synthesized with a solution casting method using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. The as-synthesized ZIF-67 was characterized using PXRD, TGA, ATR-FTIR, and BET analysis for the surface area measurements. The minimum 3 wt% loading of ZIF-67 was incorporated within a hydrophobic polymer to evaluate the CO2 adsorption performance of ZIF-67. The stability of ZIF-67 in pure water and inorganic solvents was investigated. The maximum CO2 adsorption of the ZIF-67 mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) was 0.5 mmol/g at 273 K, which is higher than that of the pure polymer. The fabricated ZIF-67-based mixed-matrix membrane showed higher CO2 capture even at lower MOF loading using THF. The current study highly recommends the combination of hydrophobic polysulfone and a water-stable ZIF-67 for CO2 capture from wet flue gases.

Abstract
A resorcinol-formaldehyde precursor was synthesized to fabricate the CO2 selective Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes (CMSMs) developed in this study. The degree of polymerization (DP) was analyzed via Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and its effect on the CO2/N2 perm-selectivity and CO2 permeance was investigated. The membrane that was polymerized at 80 °C (named R80) was selected as the best performing CMSM after a preliminary test. The post treatment with oxidative atmosphere was performed to increase the CO2 permeance and CO2/N2 perm-selectivity on membrane R80. The gas permeation results and Pore Size Distribution (PSD) measurements via perm-porometry resulted in selecting the membrane with an 80 °C polymerization temperature, 100 min of post treatment in 6 bar pressure and 120 °C with an oxygen concentration of 10% (named R80T100) as the optimum for enhancing the performance of CMSMs. The 3D laser confocal microscopy results confirmed the reduction in the surface roughness in post treatment on CMSMs and the optimum timing of 100 min in the treatment. CMSM R80T100 exhibiting CO2/N2 ideal selectivity of 194 at 100 °C with a CO2 permeability of 4718 barrier was performed higher than Robeson's upper bound limit for polymeric membranes and also the other CMSMs fabricated in this work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advancement in coordination chemistry has achieved an impressive development of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as the supramolecular hybrid materials, comprising harmonized metal nodes with organic ligands. Scope and approach: MOFs offer the unique properties of easy synthesis, nanoscale structure, adjustable size and morphology, high porosity, large surface area, supreme chemical tunability and stability, and biocompatibility. The features provide an exceptional opportunity for the widely usage of MOFs in the different scientific fields, e.g. biomedicine, electrocatalysis, food safety, energy storage, environmental surveillance, and biosensing platforms. The synergistic incorporation of the aptamer advantages and the superiorities of MOFs attains the novel MOF-based aptasensors. The excellent selectivity and sensitivity of the MOF-based aptasensors nominate them as efficient lab-on-chip tools for cost-effective, label-free, portable, and real-time monitoring of diverse targets. KEY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Here, we review the achievements in the sensor design by cooperation of MOF motifs and aptamers with the conspicuous potential of determining the targets. Finally, some results are expressed that provide a valuable viewpoint for developing the novel MOF-based test strips in the future.

Abstract
Nanocomposite membrane (NCM) is deemed as a practical and green separation solution which has found application in various fields, due to its potential to delivery excellent separation performance economically. NCM is enabled by nanofiller, which comes in a wide range of geometries and chemical features. Despite numerous advantages offered by nanofiller incorporation, fabrication of NCM often met processing issues arising from incompatibility between inorganic nanofiller and polymeric membrane. Contemporary, functionalization of nanofiller which modify the surface properties of inorganic material using chemical agents is a viable approach and vigorously pursued to refine NCM processing and improve the odds of obtaining a defect-free high-performance membrane. This review highlights the recent progress on nanofiller functionalization employed in the fabrication of gas-separative NCMs. Apart from the different approaches used to obtain functionalized nanofiller (FN) with good dispersion in solvent and polymer matrix, this review discusses the implication of functionalization in altering the structure and chemical properties of nanofiller which favor interaction with specific gas species. These changes eventually led to the enhancement in the gas separation efficiency of NCMs. The most frequently used chemical agents are identified for each type of gas. Finally, the future perspective of gas-separative NCMs are highlighted.

Abstract
An inspiring challenge for membrane scientists is to exceed the current materials' performance while keeping the intrinsic processability of the polymers. Nanocomposites, as mixed-matrix membranes, represent a practicable response to this strongly felt need, since they combine the superior properties of inorganic fillers with the easy handling of the polymers. In the global strategy of containing the greenhouse effect by pursuing a model of sustainable growth, separations involving CO2 are some of the most pressing topics due to their implications in flue gas emission and natural gas upgrading. For this purpose, Pebax copolymers are being actively studied by virtue of a macromolecular structure that comprises specific groups that are capable of interacting with CO2, facilitating its transport with respect to other gas species. Interestingly, these copolymers show a high versatility in the incorporation of nanofillers, as proved by the large number of papers describing nanocomposite membranes based on Pebax for the separation of CO2. Since the field is advancing fast, this review will focus on the most recent progress (from the last 5 years), in order to provide the most up-to-date overview in this area. The most recent approaches for developing Pebax-based mixed-matrix membranes will be discussed, evidencing the most promising filler materials and analyzing the key-factors and the main aspects that are relevant in terms of achieving the best effectiveness of these multifaceted membranes for the development of innovative devices.

Abstract
Applications of biomethane as a source of renewable energy and transport fuel rely heavily on successful implementation of purification methods capable of removing undesirable impurities from biogas and increasing its calorific content. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are competitive candidates for biogas upgrading due to a versatile range of attractive physical and chemical properties which can be utilised in membrane materials. In this work, we present a high-throughput computational screening methodology for efficient identification of MOF structures with promising gas separation performance. The proposed screening strategy is based on initial structural analysis and predictions of the single-component permeation of CO2, CH4 and H2S from adsorption and diffusion calculations at infinite dilution. The identified top performing candidates are subject to further analysis of their gas separation performance at the operating conditions of 10 bar and 298 K, using grand canonical Monte Carlo and equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations on equimolar CO2/CH4 and H2S/CH4 mixtures. The Henry constant for the adsorption of H2O was also calculated to determine the hydrophobicity of MOF structures, as the presence of H2O often leads to membrane instability and performance limitations. For the considered gas mixtures, the top MOF candidates exhibit superior separation capabilities over polymer-, zeolite-, and mixed matrix-based membranes as indicated by the predicted values of selectivity and permeability. The proposed screening protocol offers a powerful tool for the rational design of novel MOFs for biogas upgrading.

Abstract
Betaine-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), a new class of green solvents, were immobilized into a porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) support and evaluated for the separation of CO2 from CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 mixtures. Two types of NADESs were synthesized by mixing betaine (hydrogen bond acceptor-HBA) with malic acid and tartaric acid (hydrogen bond donors-HBD) respectively. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were studied to confirm the synthesis and purity of the NADESs. The thermal strength of the NADESs was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. The gas permeation results of the fabricated NADES-based-supported liquid membranes (NADES-SLMs) showed that the permeability of CO2 increased from 25.55 to 29.33 Barrer on substitution of hydrogen bond donor from tartaric acid to malic acid. Similarly, the ideal CO2/CH4 selectivity varied from 51.1 to 56.4 as tartaric acid was replaced by malic acid as the HBD. The performance of NADES-SLMs was compared with the competing imidazolium-based-supported ionic liquid membranes, and proved NADES-SLMs as a promising alternative considering their green potential and comparable gas separation performance. The current effort for the exploitation of NADESs into PVDF membranes in this study is expected to open new routes for the efficient separation of CO2 from the industrial gas mixture.

Abstract
The synergetic effect of nitrogen-rich and CO2-philic filler and polymer in mixed matrix-based membranes (MMMs) can separate CO2 competently. The introduction of well-defined nanostructured porous fillers of pores close to the kinetic diameter of the gas molecule and polymer matrix compatibility is a challenge in improving the gas transportation characteristics of MMMs. This study deals with the preparation of porphyrin filler and the polysulfone (PSf) polymer MMMs. The fillers demonstrated uniform distribution, uniformity, and successful bond formation. MMMs demonstrated high thermal stability with a glass transition temperature in the range of 480-610 °C. The porphyrin filler exhibited microporous nature with the presence of π-π bonds and Lewis's basic functionalities between filler-polymer resulted in a highly CO2-philic structure. The pure and mixed gas permeabilities and selectivity were successfully improved and surpass the Robeson's upper bound curve's tradeoff. Additionally, the temperature influence on CO2 permeability revealed lower activation energies at higher temperatures leading to the gas transport facilitation. This can be granted consistency and long-term durability in polymer chains. These results highlight the unique properties of porphyrin fillers in CO2 separation mixed matrix membranes and offer new knowledge to increase comprehension of PSf performance under various contents or environments.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8) was incorporated into poly(ether-block-amide) (Pebax-1657) in differing ratios to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. As ZIF-8 loading is increased, gas separation selectivity also gradually increases. For economic considerations, the proportion of the increase in selectivity to the amount of MOF loaded per unit was calculated. The results show that mixing 5% MOF gives the best unit performance. With this, a variety of MOFs (UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, A520, MIL-68(Al) and MIL-100(Fe)) were mixed with PEBAX at 5 loading to prepare MMMs. In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were processed using the dry-free method, where in the synthesized MOF was not dried prior to incorporation. The gas separation performance test carried out shows the highest separation performance was exhibited by P-UiO-66, wherein the CO2/N2 gas selectivity was 85.94, and the permeability was 189.77 (Barrer), which was higher than Robeson’s Upper bound in 2008, and obtained a high permeability and selectivity among mixed matrix membranes. In the preparation of high quality MMMs for gas separation, details regarding the interface phenomenon were assessed.

Abstract
Natural gas is considered a helpful transition fuel in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of other conventional power plants burning coal or liquid fossil fuels. Natural Gas Hydrates (NGHs) constitute the largest reservoir of natural gas in the world. Methane contained within the crystalline structure can be replaced by carbon dioxide to enhance gas recovery from hydrates. This technical review presents a techno-economic analysis of the full pathway, which begins with the capture of CO2 from power and process industries and ends with its transportation to a geological sequestration site consisting of clathrate hydrates. Since extracted methane is still rich in CO2, on-site separation is required. Focus is thus placed on membrane-based gas separation technologies widely used for gas purification and CO2 removal from raw natural gas and exhaust gas. Nevertheless, the other carbon capture processes (i.e., oxy-fuel combustion, pre-combustion and post-combustion) are briefly discussed and their carbon capture costs are compared with membrane separation technology. Since a large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facility requires CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure, a technical, cost and safety assessment of CO2 transportation over long distances is carried out. Finally, this paper provides an overview of the storage solutions developed around the world, principally studying the geological NGH formation for CO2 sinks.

Abstract
Despite the large number of reports on the utilization of highly microporous solids, most relevant are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in different demanding applications, the successful hybridization of MOFs and moldable polymer matrices into flexible, water-permeable membranes exhibiting strong entanglement of the MOF and the polymer matrix properties is still lacking. We describe herein an efficient pathway to construct a mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) comprising a water-stable metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2), as the active sorbent, and cellulose acetate (CA), as the polymer matrix, to construct a flexible membrane for water treatment applications. The MOF@CA MMM demonstrated superior performance in terms of exceptional removal of organic dyes (both cationic and anionic species) as well as hexavalent Cr ions, compared to the control CA membrane. The recorded high uptake of the MOF@CA MMM for this wide array of contaminants demonstrated the accessibility of the MOF nanocages immobilized within the MMM, in contrast to the common perception that the polymer matrix might act as a physical barrier to block the accessibility of the MOF cages. The negative surface charge of the matrix exerted a notable action to affect the diffusion of the negatively charged contaminants to reach the active sorbent filler. Moreover, the formed membrane demonstrated high durability and recyclability with no detected loss of performance over numerous cycles. This approach outlines the ability to formulate one of the most water-stable MOFs, as exceptional microporous sorbent, into a usable membrane form compatible with real-life applications.
