Abstract
Many studies have shown that sulfur-containing compounds significantly affect the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO2) in adsorption processes. However, limited attention has been devoted to incorporating organic fillers containing sulfur atoms into gas separation membrane matrices. This study addressed the gap by developing a new membrane using a polysulfone (PSf) polymer matrix and polyphenylene sulfide (PPs) filler material. This membrane could be used to separate mixtures of H2/CH4 and CO2/CH4 gases. Our study investigated the impact of various PPs loadings (1%, 5%, and 10% w/w) relative to PSf on membrane properties and gas separation efficiency. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were employed to understand how adding PPs and coating with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) changed the structure of our membranes. XRD and FTIR analysis revealed distinct morphological disparities and functional groups between pure PSf and PSf/PPs composite membranes. SEM results show an even distribution of PPs on the membrane surface. The impact of adding PPs on gas separation was significant. CO2 permeability increased by 376.19%, and H2 permeability improved by 191.25%. The membrane's gas selection ability significantly improved after coating the surface with PDMS. CO2/CH4 separation increased by 255.06% and H2/CH4 separation by 179.44%. We also considered the Findex to assess the overall performance of the membrane. The 5% and 10% PPs membranes were exceptional. Adding PPs to membrane technology may greatly enhance gas separation processes.

A comprehensive review on zeolite-based mixed matrix membranes for CO 2/CH 4 separation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 314:137709. [PMID: 36592833 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Biogas consisting of carbon dioxide/methane (CO2/CH4) gas mixtures has emerged as an alternative renewable fuel to natural gas. The presence of CO2 can decrease the calorific value and generate greenhouse gas. Hence, separating CO2 from CH4 is a vital step in enhancing the use of biogas. Zeolite and zeolite-based mixed matrix membrane (MMM) is considered an auspicious candidate for CO2/CH4 separation due to thermal and chemical stability. This review initially addresses the development of zeolite and zeolite-based MMM for the CO2/CH4 separation. The highest performance in terms of CO2 permeance and CO2/CH4 selectivity was achieved using zeolite and zeolite-based MMM, which exhibited CO2 permeance in the range of 2.0 × 10- 7-7.0 × 10- 6 mol m- 2 s- 1 Pa- 1 with CO2/CH4 selectivity ranging from 3 to 300. Current trends directed toward improving CO2/CH4 selectivity via modification methods including post-treatment, ion-exchanged, amino silane-grafted, and ionic liquid encapsulated of zeolite-based MMM. Those modification methods improved the defect-free and interfacial adhesions between zeolite particulates and polymer matrices and subsequently enhanced the CO2/CH4 selectivity. The modifications via ionic liquid and silane methods more influenced the CO2/CH4 selectivity with 90 and 660, respectively. This review also focuses on the possible applications of zeolite-based MMM, which include the purification and treatment of water as well as biomedical applications. Lastly, future advances and opportunities for gas separation applications are also briefly discussed. This review aims to share knowledge regarding zeolite-based MMM and inspire new industrial applications.

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.
