The commercial SAPO-34 zeolite with 0.38 nm pore size and ZIF-8 particles with 0.34 nm aperture size were separately dispersed into different polymer matrix, to prepare the mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. The dispersed situation of the SAPO-34 and ZIF-8 particles in matrix and the influence of the fillers on the separation performance of the membrane had been investigated in this study. The as-synthesized MMMs showed a better trade-off between permeability and selectivity than the pure polymer membrane and the performance could exceed or close to the upper bound line of polymer membrane for CO2 and CH4 separation. The CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity of the 6FDA-mDAT MMM containing 40 wt% SAPO-34 zeolite was 190 barrer and ca. 60, respectively. The 6FDA-TrMPD based MMMs containing 20 wt% ZIF-8 provided a permeability of C3H6 and an ideal selectivity of C3H6/C3H8 at 24 barrer and ca. 17, respectively. These separation performances were in a suitable agreement of the theoretical value from Maxwell model.

AbstractThe production of biomethane from the biogas purification process depends on the capacity of the separation technique employed to separate methane from carbon dioxide. Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combine the benefits of polymeric and inorganic materials, and it is believed that the trade-off between gas permeability and selectivity in polymeric membranes can be hampered by MMMs. Until recently, the development of MMMs for the biogas purification process has been constrained in lab scales. To be applied in large scales, the increase in gas permeability as well as the membrane performance under the influence of CO2 plasticization needs to be investigated. This paper reports the evaluation of gas permeability and CO2/CH4 gas separation performances of nano zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8/Pebax-1657 to be used for biogas purification processes. In addition, the study on the CO2 plasticization behavior of MMMs fabricated with co-polymer Pebax was investigated. The incorporation of nanoZIF-8 particles inhibited the increase of CO2 permeability due to the reduced polymer flexibility. In addition, the diffusional selectivity of ZIF-8 improves the permeation behavior of both gases through MMMs. With nanoZIF-8/Pebax-1657 MMMs, the incorporation of particles improves the gas permeability with a slight decrease in gas selectivity, indicating a potentiality of the membranes used for biogas purification processes.

<p>In this study, novel <a>mixed matrix polyethersulfone (PES) membranes</a> were synthesized by using two different kinds of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), namely UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub>. The composite membranes were characterised by SEM, EDX, FTIR, PXRD, water contact angle, porosity, pore size, etc. Membrane performance was investigated by water permeation flux, flux recovery ratio, fouling resistance and anti-fouling performance. The stability test was also conducted for the prepared mixed matrix membranes. A higher reduction in the water contact angle was observed after adding both MOFs to the PES and sulfonated PES membranes compared to pristine PES membranes. An enhancement in membrane performance was observed by embedding the MOF into PES membrane matrix, which may be attributed to the super-hydrophilic porous structure of UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles and hydrophilic structure of UiO-66 nanoparticles that could accelerate the exchange rate between solvent and non-solvent during the phase inversion process. By adding the MOFs into PES matrix, the flux recovery ratio was increased greatly (more than 99% for most mixed matrix membranes). The mixed matrix membranes showed higher resistance to protein adsorption compared to pristine PES membranes. After immersing the membranes in water for 3 months, 6 months and 12 months, both MOFs were stable and retained their structure. This study indicates that UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH<sub>2</sub> are great candidates for designing long-term stable mixed matrix membranes with higher anti-fouling performance.</p>
