"All Polyimide" Mixed Matrix Membranes for High Performance Gas Separation.

ABSTRACT: To improve the interfacial compatibility of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation, microporous polyimide particle (AP) was designed, synthesized, and introduced into intrinsic microporous polyimide matrix (6FDA-Durene) to form "all polyimide" MMMs. The AP fillers showed the feature of thermal stability, similar density with polyimide matrix, high porosity, high fractional free volume, large microporous dimension, and interpenetrating network architecture. As expected, the excellent interfacial compatibility between 6FDA-Durene and AP without obvious agglomeration even at a high AP loading of 10 wt.% was observed. As a result, the CO₂ permeability coefficient of MMM with AP loading as low as 5 wt.% reaches up to 1291.13 Barrer, which is 2.58 times that of the pristine 6FDA-Durene membrane without the significant sacrificing of ideal selectivity of CO₂/CH₄. The improvement of permeability properties is much better than that of the previously reported MMMs, where high filler content is required to achieve a high permeability increase but usually leads to significant agglomeration or phase separation of fillers. It is believed that the excellent interfacial compatibility between the PI fillers and the PI matrix induce the effective utilization of porosity and free volume of AP fillers during gas transport. Thus, a higher diffusion coefficient of MMMs has been observed than that of the pristine PI membrane. Furthermore, the rigid polyimide fillers also result in the excellent anti-plasticization ability for CO₂. The MMMs with a 10 wt.% AP loading shows a CO₂ plasticization pressure of 300 psi.

CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 Gas Separation Performance of CTA-TNT@CNT Hybrid Mixed Matrix Membranes.

Project description:This study explored the underlying synergy between titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) and carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid fillers in cellulose triacetate (CTA)-based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for natural gas purification. The CNT@TNT hybrid nanofillers were blended with CTA polymer and cast as a thin film by a facile casting technique, after which they were used for single gas separation. The hybrid filler-based membrane depicted a higher CO2 uptake affinity than the single filler (CNT/TNT)-based membrane. The gas separation results indicate that the hybrid fillers (TNT@CNT) are strongly selective for CO2 over CH4 and H2 over CH4. The increment in the CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 selectivities compared to the pristine CTA membrane was 42.98 from 25.08 and 48.43 from 36.58, respectively. Similarly, the CO2 and H2 permeability of the CTA-TNT@CNT membrane increased by six- and five-fold, respectively, compared to the pristine CTA membrane. Such significant improvements in CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 separation performance and thermal and mechanical properties suggest a feasible and practical approach for potential biogas upgrading and natural gas purification.

PEEK-WC-Based Mixed Matrix Membranes Containing Polyimine Cages for Gas Separation.

Project description:Membrane-based processes are taking a more and more prominent position in the search for sustainable and energy-efficient gas separation applications. It is known that the separation performance of pure polymers may significantly be improved by the dispersion of suitable filler materials in the polymer matrix, to produce so-called mixed matrix membranes. In the present work, four different organic cages were dispersed in the poly(ether ether ketone) with cardo group, PEEK-WC. The m-xylyl imine and furanyl imine-based fillers yielded mechanically robust and selective films after silicone coating. Instead, poor dispersion of p-xylyl imine and diphenyl imine cages did not allow the formation of selective films. The H2, He, O2, N2, CH4, and CO2 pure gas permeability of the neat polymer and the MMMs were measured, and the effect of filler was compared with the maximum limits expected for infinitely permeable and impermeable fillers, according to the Maxwell model. Time lag measurements allowed the calculation of the diffusion coefficient and demonstrated that 20 wt % of furanyl imine cage strongly increased the diffusion coefficient of the bulkier gases and decreased the diffusion selectivity, whereas the m-xylyl imine cage slightly increased the diffusion coefficient and improved the size-selectivity. The performance and properties of the membranes were discussed in relation to their composition and morphology.

CO2/N2 Separation Properties of Polyimide-Based Mixed-Matrix Membranes Comprising UiO-66 with Various Functionalities.

Project description:Nanocrystalline UiO-66 and its derivatives (containing -NH2, -Br, -(OH)2) were developed via pre-synthetic functionalization and incorporated into a polyimide membrane to develop a mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) for CO2/N2 separation. Incorporation of the non-functionalized UiO-66 nanocrystals into the polyimide membrane successfully improved CO2 permeability, with a slight decrease in CO2/N2 selectivity, owing to its large accessible surface area. The addition of other functional groups further improved the CO2/N2 selectivity of the polymeric membrane, with UiO-66-NH2, UiO-66-Br, and UiO-66-(OH)2 demonstrating improvements of 12%, 4%, and 17%, respectively. Further evaluation by solubility-diffusivity analysis revealed that the functionalized UiO-66 in MMMs can effectively increase CO2 diffusivity while suppressing N2 sorption, thus, resulting in improved CO2/N2 selectivity. Such results imply that the structural tuning of UiO-66 by the incorporation of various functional groups is an effective strategy to improve the CO2 separation performance of MMMs.

Metal Organic Framework Crystals in Mixed-Matrix Membranes: Impact of the Filler Morphology on the Gas Separation Performance.

Project description:Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) comprising NH2-MIL-53(Al) and Matrimid® or 6FDA-DAM have been investigated. The MOF loading has been varied between 5 and 20 wt%, while NH2-MIL-53(Al) with three different morphologies: nanoparticles, nanorods and microneedles have been dispersed in Matrimid®. The synthesized membranes have been tested in the separation of CO2 from CH4 in an equimolar mixture. At 3 bar and 298 K for 8 wt% MOF loading, incorporation of NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles leads to the largest improvement compared to nanorods and microneedles. The incorporation of the best performing filler, i.e. NH2-MIL-53(Al) nanoparticles, to the highly permeable 6FDA-DAM has a larger effect, and the CO2 permeability increased up to 85 % with slightly lower selectivities for 20 wt% MOF loading. Specifically, these membranes have a permeability of 660 Barrer with CO2/CH4 separation factor of 28, leading to a performance very close to the Robeson limit of 2008. Furthermore, a new non-destructive technique based on Raman spectroscopy mapping is introduced to assess the homogeneity of the filler dispersion in the polymer matrix. The MOF contribution can be calculated by modelling the spectra. The determined homogeneity of the MOF filler distribution in the polymer is confirmed by FIB-SEM analysis.

Polymer-Infiltrated Metal-Organic Frameworks for Thin-Film Composite Mixed-Matrix Membranes with High Gas Separation Properties.

Project description:Thin-film composite mixed-matrix membranes (TFC-MMMs) have potential applications in practical gas separation processes because of their high permeance (gas flux) and gas selectivity. In this study, we fabricated a high-performance TFC-MMM based on a rubbery comb copolymer, i.e., poly(2-[3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl] ethyl methacrylate)-co-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PBE), and metal-organic framework MOF-808 nanoparticles. The rubbery copolymer penetrates through the pores of MOF-808, thereby tuning the pore size. In addition, the rubbery copolymer forms a defect-free interfacial morphology with polymer-infiltrated MOF-808 nanoparticles. Consequently, TFC-MMMs (thickness = 350 nm) can be successfully prepared even with a high loading of MOF-808. As polymer-infiltrated MOF is incorporated into the polymer matrix, the PBE/MOF-808 membrane exhibits a significantly higher CO2 permeance (1069 GPU) and CO2/N2 selectivity (52.7) than that of the pristine PBE membrane (CO2 permeance = 431 GPU and CO2/N2 selectivity = 36.2). Therefore, the approach considered in this study is suitable for fabricating high-performance thin-film composite membranes via polymer infiltration into MOF pores.

Synthesis and Performance of 6FDA-Based Polyimide-Ionenes and Composites with Ionic Liquids as Gas Separation Membranes.

Project description:Three new isomeric 6FDA-based polyimide-ionenes, with imidazolium moieties and varying regiochemistry (para-, meta-, and ortho- connectivity), and composites with three different ionic liquids (ILs) have been developed as gas separation membranes. The structural-property relationships and gas separation behaviors of the newly developed 6FDA polyimide-ionene + IL composites have been extensively studied. All the 6FDA-based polyimide-ionenes exhibited good compatibility with the ILs and produced homogeneous hybrid membranes with the high thermal stability of ~380 °C. Particularly, [6FDA I4A pXy][Tf2N] ionene + IL hybrids having [C4mim][Tf2N] and [Bnmim][Tf2N] ILs offered mechanically stable matrixes with high CO2 affinity. The permeability of CO2 was increased by factors of 2 and 3 for C4mim and Bnmim hybrids (2.15 to 6.32 barrers), respectively, compared to the neat [6FDA I4A pXy][Tf2N] without sacrificing their permselectivity for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 gas pairs.

Optimization of a MOF Blended with Modified Polyimide Membrane for High-Performance Gas Separation.

Project description:The preparation, characterization and gas separation properties of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were obtained from polyimide capped with ionic liquid and blended with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The synthesized MOF was amine functionalized to produce UiO-66-NH2, and its amino group has a higher affinity for CO2. Mixed matrix membranes exhibited good membrane forming ability, heat resistance and mechanical properties. The polyimide membrane exclusively capped by ionic liquid exhibited good permselectivity of 74.1 for CO2/CH4, which was 6.2 times that of the pure polyimide membrane. It is worth noting that MMM blended with UiO-66-NH2 demonstrated the highest ideal selectivity for CO2/CH4 (95.1) with a CO2 permeability of 7.61 Barrer, which is close to the 2008 Robeson upper bound. The addition of UiO-66-NH2 and ionic liquid enhanced the permselectivity of MMMs, which may be one of the promising technologies for high performance CO2/CH4 gas separation.

6FDA-DAM:DABA Co-Polyimide Mixed Matrix Membranes with GO and ZIF-8 Mixtures for Effective CO2/CH4 Separation.

Project description:This work presents the gas separation evaluation of 6FDA-DAM:DABA (3:1) co-polyimide and its enhanced mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with graphene oxide (GO) and ZIF-8 (particle size of <40 nm). The 6FDA-copolyimide was obtained through two-stage poly-condensation polymerization, while the ZIF-8 nanoparticles were synthesized using the dry and wet method. The MMMs were preliminarily prepared with 1-4 wt.% GO and 5-15 wt.% ZIF-8 filler loading independently. Based on the best performing GO MMM, the study proceeded with making MMMs based on the mixtures of GO and ZIF-8 with a fixed 1 wt.% GO content (related to the polymer matrix) and varied ZIF-8 loadings. All the materials were characterized thoroughly using TGA, FTIR, XRD, and FESEM. The gas separation was measured with 50:50 vol.% CO2:CH4 binary mixture at 2 bar feed pressure and 25 °C. The pristine 6FDA-copolyimide showed CO2 permeability (PCO2) of 147 Barrer and CO2/CH4 selectivity (αCO2/CH4) of 47.5. At the optimum GO loading (1 wt.%), the PCO2 and αCO2/CH4 were improved by 22% and 7%, respectively. A combination of GO (1 wt.%)/ZIF-8 fillers tremendously improves its PCO2; by 990% for GO/ZIF-8 (5 wt.%) and 1.124% for GO/ZIF-8 (10 wt.%). Regrettably, the MMMs lost their selectivity by 16-55% due to the non-selective filler-polymer interfacial voids. However, the hybrid MMM performances still resided close to the 2019 upper bound and showed good performance stability when tested at different feed pressure conditions.

Development of CO2-Selective Polyimide-Based Gas Separation Membranes Using Crown Ether and Polydimethylsiloxane.

Project description:A series of CO2-selective polyimides (CE-PDMS-PI-x) was synthesized by copolymerizing crown ether diamine (trans-diamino-DB18C6) and PDMS-diamine with 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) di-phthalic anhydride (6FDA) through the polycondensation reaction. The structural characteristics of the copolymers and corresponding membranes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The effect of PDMS loading on the CE-PDMS-PI-x copolymers was further analyzed and a very good structure-property relationship was found. A well-distributed soft PDMS unit played a key role in the membrane's morphology, in which improved CO2-separation performance was observed at a low PDMS content (5 wt %). In contrast, the fine-grained phase separation adversely affected the separation behavior at a certain level of PDMS loading, and the PDMS was found to provide a flexible gas-diffusion path, affecting only the permeability without changing the selective gas-separation performance for the copolymers with a PDMS content of 20% or above.
