Carbon Dioxide Enrichment PEBAX/MOF Composite Membrane for CO₂ Separation.

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.

Mixed Matrix Membranes for Efficient CO2 Separation Using an Engineered UiO-66 MOF in a Pebax Polymer.

Project description:Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have attracted significant attention for overcoming the limitations of traditional polymeric membranes for gas separation through the improvement of both permeability and selectivity. However, the development of defect-free MMMs remains challenging due to the poor compatibility of the metal-organic framework (MOF) with the polymer matrix. Thus, we report a surface-modification strategy for a MOF through grafting of a polymer with intrinsic microporosity onto the surface of UiO-66-NH2. This method allows us to engineer the MOF-polymer interface in the MMMs using Pebax as a support. The insertion of a PIM structure onto the surface of UiO-66-NH2 provides additional molecular transport channels and enhances the CO2 transport by increasing the compatibility between the polymer and fillers for efficient gas separation. As a result, MMM with 1 wt% loading of PIM-grafted-MOF (PIM-g-MOF) exhibited very promising separation performance, with CO2 permeability of 247 Barrer and CO2/N2 selectivity of 56.1, which lies on the 2008 Robeson upper bound. Moreover, this MMM has excellent anti-aging properties for up to 240 days and improved mechanical properties (yield stress of 16.08 MPa, Young's modulus of 1.61 GPa, and 596.5% elongation at break).

Multicomponent Network Formation in Selective Layer of Composite Membrane for CO2 Separation.

Project description:As a promising material for CO2/N2 separation, PolyActiveTM can be used as a separation layer in thin-film composite membranes (TFCM). Prior studies focused on the modification of PolyActiveTM using low-molecular-weight additives. In this study, the effect of chemical crosslinking of reactive end-groups containing additives, forming networks within selective layers of the TFCM, has been studied. In order to understand the influence of a network embedded into a polymer matrix on the properties of the resulting materials, various characterization methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas transport measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), were used. The characterization of the resulting membrane regarding individual gas permeances by an in-house built "pressure increase" facility revealed a twofold increase in CO2 permeance, with insignificant losses in CO2/N2 selectivity.

Role of Cation Structure in CO2 Separation by Ionic Liquid/Sulfonated Polyimide Composite Membrane.

Project description:The development of suitable separation technologies for the separation of carbon dioxide is a pressing technological requirement. The application of ion gel membranes for this purpose continues to stimulate a great deal of research, and in this study we focus on the chemical structure of the ionic liquid component in the ion gel, and its interactions with the sulfonated polyimide polymer. Whilst such membranes are known to give promising carbon dioxide separation properties together with mechanical strength and thin-film-processability, we further elaborate on how changing the cation of the ionic liquid from a typical imidazolium cation to a protic variant effects the physicochemical, thermal, and structural properties of the membranes, and how these changes further influence the carbon dioxide separation properties. We compare and contrast our findings with our earlier study on protic and aprotic ammonium-based ionic liquids, and highlight that for CO2 absorption behavior in the imidazolium systems, the importance of directionality of interactions (ion pairs exhibit a large energy stabilization only for a specific geometrical arrangement of cation and anion, e.g., hydrogen bonding rather than Coulombic interaction) between cation and anion applies not only to the protic system, but also to the nominally aprotic cation. Finally, we demonstrate that the phase separation behavior in the ion gels is an important factor in determining the carbon dioxide separation behavior.

The permeability and selectivity of nanocomposite membrane of PEBAx 1657/PEI/SiO2 for separation of CO2, N2, O2, CH4 gases: A data set.

Project description:The poly ether-block-amide (PEBAx)/Poly-ether-imide (PEI)/SiO2 nanocomposite membranes were fabricated using the solution casting method and utilized for separation of N2, O2, CH4, and CO2 gases. The effect of SiO2 nanoparticles loading on permeability and selectivity of gases using the nanocomposite membranes was tested. The data showed that the permeability of the gases increased with increasing SiO2 nanoparticle content. dBy adding SiO2 nanoparticles (10 wt%), the permeability of N2, O2, CH4, and CO2 gases elevated from 0.39, 1, 1.83 and 11.1 to 2.01, 1.95, 2.98 and 19.83 Barrer unit, respectively (at a pressure of 2 Bar). In contrast, with increasing SiO2 content the selectivity of the studied gases decreased. The morphology, crystallinity and the functional groups of the fabricated membranes were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The data presented confirm the influence of the nanoparticles on the membrane structure and thus on the permeability and selectivity of the membranes.

Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-incorporated Pebax composite membrane for improved permselectivity in organic solvent nanofiltration.

Project description:Thanks to the characteristic hollow cavity structure and sustainable and nontoxic macrocycle molecule feature, cyclodextrins have been used as building block to fabricate organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes with enhanced permeability and selectivity. Herein, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was incorporated into a poly(ether-block-amide) (Pebax) layer on a polysulfone support, followed by crosslinking with toluene 2,4-diisocyanate to prepare a crosslinked HP-β-CD/Pebax (CHP) membrane. By adjusting the initial HP-β-CD concentration (x) and crosslinking reaction time (y), the microporous structure and surface morphology of CHP x-y (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75; y = 5, 10, 15) membranes could be manipulated. The OSN performances of the CHP x-y membranes were evaluated by the removal of dyes in methanol solution. The results revealed that the optimal CHP0.5-10 membrane exhibited a high methanol permeance of 8.7 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, high dye rejection (>96%), and high running stability (at least 336 h), due to the intrinsically microporous structure and surface morphology. This work would inspire the further development of cyclodextrins and other macrocyclic molecules in the preparation of OSN membranes and provide a promising strategy to fabricate state-of-the-art membranes for the efficient separation of organic solvent reclamation and removal of organic pollutants.

Monolithic metal-organic frameworks for carbon dioxide separation.

Project description:Carbon dioxide (CO2) is both a primary contributor to global warming and a major industrial impurity. Traditional approaches to carbon capture involve corrosive and energy-intensive processes such as liquid amine absorption. Although adsorptive separation has long been a promising alternative to traditional processes, up to this point there has been a lack of appropriate adsorbents capable of capturing CO2 whilst maintaining low regeneration energies. In the context of CO2 capture, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained much attention in the past two decades as potential materials. Their tuneable nature allows for precise control over the pore size and chemistry, which allows for the tailoring of their properties for the selective adsorption of CO2. While many candidate materials exist, the amount of research into material shaping for use in industrial processes has been limited. Traditional shaping strategies such as pelletisation involve the use of binders and/or mechanical processes, which can have a detrimental impact on the adsorption properties of the resulting materials or can result in low-density structures with low volumetric adsorption capacities. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a series of monolithic MOFs (monoUiO-66, monoUiO-66-NH2 & monoHKUST-1) for use in gas separation processes.

MOF-in-COF molecular sieving membrane for selective hydrogen separation.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising materials for advanced molecular-separation membranes, but their wide nanometer-sized pores prevent selective gas separation through molecular sieving. Herein, we propose a MOF-in-COF concept for the confined growth of metal-organic framework (MOFs) inside a supported COF layer to prepare MOF-in-COF membranes. These membranes feature a unique MOF-in-COF micro/nanopore network, presumably due to the formation of MOFs as a pearl string-like chain of unit cells in the 1D channel of 2D COFs. The MOF-in-COF membranes exhibit an excellent hydrogen permeance (>3000 GPU) together with a significant enhancement of separation selectivity of hydrogen over other gases. The superior separation performance for H2/CO2 and H2/CH4 surpasses the Robeson upper bounds, benefiting from the synergy combining precise size sieving and fast molecular transport through the MOF-in-COF channels. The synthesis of different combinations of MOFs and COFs in robust MOF-in-COF membranes demonstrates the versatility of our design strategy.

Ultra-thin enzymatic liquid membrane for CO2 separation and capture.

Project description:The limited flux and selectivities of current carbon dioxide membranes and the high costs associated with conventional absorption-based CO2 sequestration call for alternative CO2 separation approaches. Here we describe an enzymatically active, ultra-thin, biomimetic membrane enabling CO2 capture and separation under ambient pressure and temperature conditions. The membrane comprises a ~18-nm-thick close-packed array of 8 nm diameter hydrophilic pores that stabilize water by capillary condensation and precisely accommodate the metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). CA catalyzes the rapid interconversion of CO2 and water into carbonic acid. By minimizing diffusional constraints, stabilizing and concentrating CA within the nanopore array to a concentration 10× greater than achievable in solution, our enzymatic liquid membrane separates CO2 at room temperature and atmospheric pressure at a rate of 2600 GPU with CO2/N2 and CO2/H2 selectivities as high as 788 and 1500, respectively, the highest combined flux and selectivity yet reported for ambient condition operation.

Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes Comprising Graphene Oxides and Porous Carbon for CO2/N2 Separation.

Project description:To improve the CO2/N2 separation performance, mixed-matrix carbon molecular sieve membranes (mixed-matrix CMSMs) were fabricated and tested. Two carbon-based fillers, graphene oxide (GO) and activated carbon (YP-50F), were separately incorporated into two polymer precursors (Matrimid® 5218 and ODPA-TMPDA), and the resulting CMSMs demonstrated improved CO2 permeability. The improvement afforded by YP-50F was more substantial due to its higher accessible surface area. Based on the gas permeation data and the Robeson plot for CO2/N2 separation, the performances of the CMSMs containing 15 wt % YP-50F and 15 wt % GO in the mixed polymer matrix surpassed the 2008 Robeson upper bound of polymeric membranes. Hence, this study demonstrates the feasibility of such membranes in improving the CO2/N2 separation performance through the appropriate choice of carbon-based filler materials in polymer matrices.
