Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4436. [PMID: 38006159 PMCID: PMC10674475 DOI: 10.3390/polym15224436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The development of membrane materials with high transport and separation properties for the removal of higher hydrocarbons from gas mixtures is an important and complex task. This work examines the effect of a cross-linking agent on the structure and transport properties of polydecylmethylsiloxane (C10), a material characterized by high selectivity towards C3+ hydrocarbons. C10 was cross-linked with various diene hydrocarbons, such as 1,7-octadiene (C10-OD), 1,9-decadiene (C10-DD), 1,11-dodecadiene (C10-DdD), and vinyl-terminated polysiloxanes, of different molecular weights: 500 g/mol (C10-Sil500) and 25,000 g/mol (C10-Sil25-OD). Using a number of characterization methods (IR-spectroscopy, WAXS, DSC, toluene sorption, and gas permeability), it was revealed that a change in the type and length of the cross-linking agent (at the same mole concentration of cross-linking agent) led to a significant change in the structure of the polymer material. The nature of cross-linking agent affected the arrangement of the decyl side-groups of the polymer, resulting in noticeable differences in the solubility, diffusivity, permeability, and selectivity of tested gases (N2, CH4, C2H6, and C4H10). For instance, an increase in the length of the hydrocarbon cross-linker was associated with a drop of n-butane permeability from 5510 (C10-OD) to 3000 Barrer (C10-DdD); however, the transition to a polysiloxane cross-linker led to an increase in corresponded permeability up to 8200 Barrer (C10-Sil25-OD). The n-butane/nitrogen selectivity was significantly higher for diene-type cross-linkers, and the maximum value was achieved for 1,7-octadiene (α(C4H10/N2) = 104).

Abstract
Hydrocarbon separation is an important process in the field of petrochemical industry, which provides a variety of raw materials for industrial production and a strong support for the development of national economy. However, traditional separation processes involve huge energy consumption. Adsorptive separation based on nonporous adaptive crystal (NAC) materials is considered as an attractive green alternative to traditional energy-intensive separation technologies due to its advantages of low energy consumption, high chemical and thermal stability, excellent selective adsorption and separation performance, and outstanding recyclability. Considering the exceptional potential of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in various supramolecular host-based NACs. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions are illustrated in detail. It is expected that this review will provide useful and timely references for researchers in this area. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, the review will definitely advance the development of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation and stimulate more interesting studies in related fields.

Effect of Molecular Weight and Chemical Structure of Terminal Groups on the Properties of Porous Hollow Fiber Polysulfone Membranes. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:412. [PMID: 37103839 PMCID: PMC10142848 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13040412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
For the first time, polysulfones (PSFs) were synthesized with chlorine and hydroxyl terminal groups and studied for the task of producing porous hollow fiber membranes. The synthesis was carried out in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at various excesses of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (Bisphenol A) and 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylsulfone, as well as at an equimolar ratio of monomers in various aprotic solvents. The synthesized polymers were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the coagulation values of 2 wt.% PSF polymer solutions in N-methyl-2-pyrollidone were determined. According to GPC data, PSFs were obtained in a wide range of molecular weights Mw from 22 to 128 kg/mol. NMR analysis confirmed the presence of terminal groups of a certain type in accordance with the use of the corresponding monomer excess in the synthesis process. Based on the obtained results on the dynamic viscosity of dope solutions, promising samples of the synthesized PSF were selected to produce porous hollow fiber membranes. The selected polymers had predominantly -OH terminal groups and their molecular weight was in the range of 55-79 kg/mol. It was found that porous hollow fiber membrane from PSF with Mw 65 kg/mol (synthesized in DMAc with an excess of Bisphenol A 1%) has a high helium permeability of 45 m3/m2∙h∙bar and selectivity α (He/N2) = 2.3. This membrane is a good candidate to be used as a porous support for thin-film composite hollow fiber membrane fabrication.

Abstract
Solubility-selective polymer membranes are promising materials for C3+ hydrocarbons removal from methane and other permanent gas streams. To this end, a dense solubility-selective membrane based on crosslinked poly(tetradecyl methyl siloxane) was synthesized. Sorption of methane, ethane, and n-butane in the polymer was measured in the temperature range of 5-35 °C. An abnormal temperature dependence of sorption was detected, contradicting the generally accepted view of sorption as an exothermic process. In particular, methane shows minimal sorption at 5 °C. The abnormal temperature behavior was found to be related to crystallization of the alkyl side chains at temperatures below ~10 °C. Gas permeability determined by sorption and permeation methods are in reasonable agreement with each other and decrease in the order n-C4H10 > C2H6 > CH4. The solubility of these alkanes changes in the same order indicating that poly(tetradecyl methyl siloxane) is indeed the sorption-selective membrane. The diffusivities and permeabilities of studied alkanes declined with decreasing temperature, whereas the n-C4H10/CH4 permselectivity increases with decreasing temperature, reaching a value of 23 at 5 °C.

Abstract
Liquid-liquid separation is crucial in the present circumstances. Substitution of the conventional types of separation like distillation and pervaporation is mandatory due to the high energy requirement of the two. The separation of organic mixtures has a huge potential in industries such as pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, fuels, textile, papers, and fertilizers. Membrane-affiliated separations are one of the prime techniques for liquid-liquid separations. Organic solvent nanofiltration, solvent-resistant nanofiltration, and ultrafiltration are a few methods through which organic liquid-liquid separation can be attained. Implementation of such a technology in chemical industries reduces the time consumption and is cost efficient. Even though a lot of research has been done, attention is needed in the field of organic-liquid separation aided by membranes. In this review, various membranes used for organic mixture separations such as polar-nonpolar, polar-polar, and nonpolar-nonpolar are discussed with a focus on membrane materials, additives, separation theory, separation type, experimental setup, fouling mitigation, surface modification, and major challenges. The review also offers insights and probable solutions for existing problems and also discusses the scope of research to be undertaken in the future.

MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12121257.

Abstract
The dope solution viscosity is an important parameter that largely determines the properties of hollow fiber membranes. In the literature available today, the change in viscosity is carried out only by changing the quantitative and/or qualitative dope solution compositions. However, such an important spinning parameter as temperature should significantly affect the dope solution viscosity. For the first time, the influence of the dope solution viscosity of a constant composition on polysulfone hollow fiber membrane properties was studied. The hollow fiber membranes were obtained by the phase separation method induced by a non-solvent (NIPS). The change in the dope solution temperature was carried out in the temperature range of 17-27 °C, providing a dope solution viscosity range of 34.3-21.6 Pa∙s. This work shows that even in such a narrow temperature range, the properties of polysulfone hollow fiber membranes change significantly. With a decrease in the viscosity in this temperature range, the wall thickness of the hollow fiber membrane decreases by 2.8 times; the permeance for the individual gases He and CO2 increases by 1.6-1.8 times, respectively; the ideal selectivity decreases by 1.12 times; the mean flow pore size increases by 1.63 times; and the surface porosity increases about 3 times.

Abstract
Membranes based on natural polymers, in particular alginate, are of great interest for various separation tasks. In particular, the possibility of introducing silver ions during the crosslinking of sodium alginate makes it possible to obtain a membrane with an active olefin transporter. In this work, the creation of a hollow fiber composite membrane with a selective layer of silver alginate is proposed for the first time. The approach to obtaining silver alginate is presented in detail, and its sorption and transport properties are also studied. It is worth noting the increased selectivity of the material for the ethylene/ethane mixture (more than 100). A technique for obtaining a hollow fiber membrane from silver alginate has been developed, and its separating characteristics have been determined. It is shown that in thin layers, silver alginate retains high values of selectivity for the ethylene/ethane gas pair. The obtained gas transport properties demonstrate the high potential of using membranes based on silver alginate for the separation of an olefin/paraffin mixture.

Abstract
The effect of the modification of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) selective layer of thin film composite (TFC) membranes by aluminosilicate (Al2O3·SiO2) nanoparticles on the structure and pervaporation performance was studied. For the first time, PVA-Al2O3·SiO2/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) thin film nanocomposite (TFN) membranes for pervaporation separation of ethanol/water mixture were developed via the formation of the selective layer in dynamic mode. Selective layers of PVA/PAN and PVA-Al2O3·SiO2/PAN membranes were formed via filtration of PVA aqueous solutions or PVA-Al2O3·SiO2 aqueous dispersions through the ultrafiltration PAN membrane for 10 min at 0.3 MPa in dead-end mode. Average particle size and zeta potential of aluminosilicate nanoparticles in PVA aqueous solution were analyzed using the dynamic light scattering technique. Structure and surface properties of membranes were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle measurements. Membrane performance was investigated in pervaporation dehydration of ethanol/water mixtures in the broad concentration range. It was found that flux of TFN membranes decreased with addition of Al2O3·SiO2 nanoparticles into the selective layer due to the increase in selective layer thickness. However, ethanol/water separation factor of TFN membranes was found to be significantly higher compared to the reference TFC membrane in the whole range of studied ethanol/water feed mixtures with different concentrations, which is attributed to the increase in membrane hydrophilicity. It was found that developed PVA-Al2O3·SiO2/PAN TFN membranes were more stable in the dehydration of ethanol in the whole range of investigated concentrations as well as at different temperatures of the feed mixtures (25 °C, 35 °C, 50 °C) compared to the reference membrane which is due to the additional cross-linking of the selective layer by formation hydrogen and donor-acceptor bonds between aluminosilicate nanoparticles and PVA macromolecules.

Abstract
The application of gas-liquid membrane contactors for ethane-ethylene separation seems to offer a good alternative to conventional energy-intensive processes. This work aims to develop new hydrophobic composite membranes with active ethylene carriers and to demonstrate their potential for ethylene/ethane separation in gas-liquid membrane contactors. For the first time, hybrid membrane materials based on polyoctylmethylsiloxane (POMS) and silver tetrafluoroborate, with a Si:Ag ratio of 10:0.11 and 10:2.2, have been obtained. This technique allowed us to obtain POMS-based membranes with silver nanoparticles (8 nm), which are dispersed in the polymer matrix. The dispersion of silver in the POMS matrix is confirmed by the data IR-spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence analyses. These membranes combine the hydrophobicity of POMS and the selectivity of silver ions toward ethylene. It was shown that ethylene sorption at 600 mbar rises from 0.89 cm3(STP)/g to 3.212 cm3(STP)/g with an increase of Ag content in POMS from 0 to 9 wt%. Moreover, the membrane acquires an increased sorption affinity for ethylene. The ethylene/ethane sorption selectivity of POMS is 0.64; for the membrane with 9 wt% silver nanoparticles, the ethylene/ethane sorption selectivity was 2.46. Based on the hybrid material, POMS-Ag, composite membranes were developed on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) porous support, with a selective layer thickness of 5–10 µm. The transport properties of the membranes were studied by separating a binary mixture of ethylene/ethane at 20/80% vol. It has been shown that the addition of silver nanoparticles to the POMS matrix leads to a decrease in the ethylene permeability, but ethylene/ethane selectivity increases from 0.9 (POMS) to 1.3 (9 wt% Ag). It was noted that when the POMS-Ag membrane is exposed to the gas mixture flow for 3 h, the selectivity increases to 1.3 (0.5 wt% Ag) and 2.3 (9 wt% Ag) due to an increase in ethylene permeability. Testing of the obtained membranes in a gas-liquid contactor showed that the introduction of silver into the POMS matrix makes it possible to intensify the process of ethylene mass transfer by more than 1.5 times.

Mixed-Gas Selectivity Based on Pure Gas Permeation Measurements: An Approximate Model. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11110833. [PMID: 34832062 PMCID: PMC8625433 DOI: 10.3390/membranes11110833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
An approximate model based on friction-coefficient formalism is developed to predict the mixed-gas permeability and selectivity of polymeric membranes. More specifically, the model is a modification of Kedem’s approach to flux coupling. The crucial assumption of the developed model is the division of the inverse local permeability of the mixture component into two terms: the inverse local permeability of the corresponding pure gas and the term proportional to the friction between penetrants. Analytical expressions for permeability and selectivity of polymeric membranes in mixed-gas conditions were obtained within the model. The input parameters for the model are ideal selectivity and solubility coefficients for pure gases. Calculations have shown that, depending on the input parameters and the value of the membrane Peclét number (the measure of coupling), there can be both a reduction and an enhancement of selectivity compared to the ideal selectivity. The deviation between real and ideal selectivity increases at higher Peclét numbers; in the limit of large Peclét numbers, the mixed-gas selectivity tends to the value of the ideal solubility selectivity. The model has been validated using literature data on mixed-gas separation of n-butane/methane and propylene/propane through polymeric membranes.

Abstract
The influence of casting centrifugation process parameters, such as a rotation speed (ω), the amount of the film-forming solution (V), and its concentration (C) on transport properties of composite membranes were investigated. A number of composite membranes based on poly (1-trimethylsilylpropyne) (PTMSP) and micro- (MFFK-1) and ultrafiltration (UFFK) membranes were obtained using the spin-coating method. For the first time, an unexpected dependence of permeance and ideal selectivity on rotation speed had been discovered: the thickness of the selective layer decreases from 3.0 to 1.0 μm for MFFK-1 and from 1.7 to 1.1 μm for UFFK with an increase of spin coater rotation speed from 500 to 3000 rpm. However, the gas permeance of composite membranes in the range of 500–2000 rpm was reduced due to an increase of a penetration depth of PTMSP into a support layer porous structure (estimated by the EDX method). The permeance of the PTMSP/UFFK membranes was higher than PTMSP/MFFK-1 membranes due to a thinner selective layer and a lower penetration depth of polymer solution into the pores of the support. The highest CO2/N2 selectivity values were achieved as 5.65 ± 0.9 at CO2 permeance 5600 ± 1000 GPU for PTMSP/UFFK membranes (CPTMSP = 0.35%, Vsolution = 1 mL, ω = 1000 rpm), and 6.1 ± 0.5 at CO2 permeance 4090 ± 500 GPU for PTMSP/MFFK-1 membranes (CPTMSP = 0.35%, Vsolution = 1 mL, ω = 2000 rpm).

Aging of Thin-Film Composite Membranes Based on Crosslinked PTMSP/PEI Loaded with Highly Porous Carbon Nanoparticles of Infrared Pyrolyzed Polyacrylonitrile. MEMBRANES 2020; 10:membranes10120419. [PMID: 33327393 PMCID: PMC7764853 DOI: 10.3390/membranes10120419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
The mitigation of the physical aging of thin-film composite (TFC) poly[1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne] (PTMSP) membranes was studied via the simultaneous application of a polymer-selective layer crosslinking and mixed-matrix membrane approach. For the first time, a recently developed highly porous activated carbon material (infrared (IR) pyrolyzed poly[acrylonitrile] (PAN) or IR-PAN-a) was investigated as an additive to a PTMSP-selective layer for the reduction of aging in TFC membranes. The total electric energy spent on the IR irradiation treatment of IR-PAN-a particles was twice lower than conventional heating. The flat-sheet porous microfiltration membrane MFFK-1 was used as a support, and the crosslinked PTMSP/PEI loaded with a porous filler was applied as a selective layer (0.8–1.8 µm thick) to the TFC membranes. The initial IR-PAN-a sample was additionally milled to obtain a milled IR-PAN-aM sample with a monomodal particle size distribution of 500–800 nm. It was shown that IR-PAN-a, as a filler material with a high surface area and pore volume (2450 m2/g and 1.06 cm3/g, respectively) and a well-developed sponge-like structure, leads to the increase of the N2, O2, and CO2 permeance of PTMSP-based hybrid membrane material and the decrease of the aging of PTMSP. The simultaneous effect of crosslinking and the addition of a highly porous filler essentially improved the aging behavior of PTMSP-based TFC membranes. The monomodal and narrow particle size distribution of highly porous activated IR-pyrolyzed PAN is a key factor for the production of TFC membranes with reduced aging. The highest stability was achieved by the addition of a milled IR-PAN-aM sample (10 wt%). TFC membrane permeance was 6300 GPU (30% of initial permeance) after 11,000 h of aging at ambient laboratory conditions.
