In this paper, copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (CuBTC) was incorporated into polyethylenglyol (PEG) to prepare a mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for pervaporation desulfurization. The characterization results showed that the prepared CuBTC particles had an ideal octahedral shape and micropores. The Cu2+ in CuBTC interacts with thiophene via π-complexation, thus enhancing the separation performance of the hybrid membranes. The effect of CuBTC content and the operating condition on the pervaporation performance of the MMMs was investigated. An optimal pervaporation separation performance was acquired with a permeation flux of 2.21 kg/(m2·h) and an enrichment factor of 8.79, which were increased by 100% and 39% compared with the pristine PEG membrane. Moreover, the CuBTC-filled PEG membrane showed a good stability in the long-term desulfurization under a high operating temperature of 75 °C for five days.

A new polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) designed with eight –(CH2)3–NH–(CH2)2–NH2 groups (PNEN) at its apexes was used as nanocomposite uploading into 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE)-derived organosilica to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. The mixtures of BTESE-PNEN were uniform with particle size of around 31 nm, which is larger than that of pure BTESE sols. The characterization of thermogravimetric (TG) and gas permeance indicates good thermal stability. A similar amine-contained material of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) was doped into BTESE to prepare hybrid membranes through a copolymerized strategy as comparison. The pore size of the BTESE-PNEN membrane evaluated through a modified gas-translation model was larger than that of the BTESE-APTES hybrid membrane at the same concentration of additions, which resulted in different separation performance. The low values of Ep(CO2)-Ep(N2) and Ep(N2) for the BTESE-PNEN membrane at a low concentration of PNEN were close to those of copolymerized BTESE-APTES-related hybrid membranes, which illustrates a potential CO2 separation performance by using a mixed matrix membrane strategy with multiple amine POSS as particles.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, enhanced with metal-organic framework (MOF), were fabricated on a non-woven polyethylene terephthalate (PET) support using the non-solvent induced phase inversion (NIPS) method to produce mixed matrix membrane (MMM). Polymer concentration of 10%, 15%, and 20% were used in the study whereas UiO-66(Zr) was used as a MOF filler. The resulting membranes were characterized in terms of their morphology, porosity, wettability, mechanical strength, pure water flux, and gas permeability. Results show that the presence of UiO-66(Zr) filler improved membrane morphology, mechanical strength, and hydrophobicity of MMM as compared to pristine PVDF.

Recently, metal-organic framework composited with graphene oxide (MOF/GO) has been explored and has shown superior properties compared to both of the parent materials. Thus, this study aims to utilize zeolitic imidazole framework 8 (ZIF-8), a subclass of MOF, decorated graphene oxide (ZIF-8/GO) as filler in mixed matrix membrane (MMM) for CO2 separation. ZIF-8/GO has been successfully synthesized using aqueous room temperature method. Distortion of ZIF-8 structure after GO incorporate was observed from TEM and decreasing pore properties, while their crystal structure are intact. The role of the composite on gas permeation is also evaluated using pure N2, CH4 and CO2. The presence of ZIF-8/GO into membrane has increase CO2 permeance from 59.03 ± 13.87 GPU to 79.92 ± 18.26 GPU with insignificant changes in the gas pair selectivities even only 0.5wt% (total solids) of ZIF-8/GO incorporated.
