The CO2 separation from flue gas based on membrane technology has drawn great attention in the last few decades. In this work, polyetherimide (PEI) hollow fibers were fabricated by using a dry-jet-wet spinning technique. Subsequently, the composite hollow fiber membranes were prepared by dip coating of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) selective layer on the outer surface of PEI hollow fibers. The hollow fibers spun from various spinning conditions were fully characterized. The influence of hollow fiber substrates on the CO2/N2 separation performance of PDMS/PEI composite membranes was estimated by gas permeance and ideal selectivity. The prepared composite membrane where the hollow fiber substrate was spun from 20 wt% of dope solution, 12 mL/min of bore fluid (water) flow rate exhibited the highest ideal selectivity equal to 21.3 with CO2 permeance of 59 GPU. It was found that the dope concentration, bore fluid flow rate and bore fluid composition affect the porous structure, surface morphology and dimension of hollow fibers. The bore fluid composition significantly influenced the gas permeance and ideal selectivity of the PDMS/PEI composite membrane. The prepared PDMS/PEI composite membranes possess comparable CO2/N2 separation performance to literature ones.

Ceramic hollow fiber-supported Pebax/PEGDME membrane was prepared to separate CO2. The composite membrane showed excellent performance of removing CO2 from biohythane. The ideal CO2/H2 selectivity increased to 26 when temperature decreased to 10 °C.

The development of thin layer on hollow-fiber substrate has drawn great attention in the gas-separation process. In this work, polydimethysiloxane (PDMS)/polyetherimide (PEI) hollow-fiber membranes were prepared by using the dip-coating method. The prepared membranes were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and gas permeance measurements. The concentration of PDMS solution and coating time revealed an important influence on the gas permeance and the thickness of the PDMS layer. It was confirmed from the SEM and EDX results that the PDMS layer’s thickness and the atomic content of silicon in the selective layer increased with the growth in coating time and the concentration of PDMS solution. The composite hollow-fiber membrane prepared from 15 wt% PDMS solution at 10 min coating time showed the best gas-separation performance with CO2 permeance of 51 GPU and CO2/N2 ideal selectivity of 21.
