High nanoparticles loadings mixed matrix membranes via chemical bridging-crosslinking for CO2 separation

Polymer-MOF Network Enabling Ultrathin Coating for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture

Permeance-selectivity trade-off and high temperature resilience are key challenges in development of membranes for post-combustion carbon capture. While mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) consisting of polymers and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer the potential to address the challenges, they are limited by the low loading of MOFs in the thin film layer. Herein, we propose an inverse synthesis strategy to form polymer-MOF networks by copolymerizing monomers with functionalized UiO-66 nanoparticles. This process yields a finely dispersed, easily processable solution, enabling defect-free, thin polymer-MOF coatings with up to 40 wt % MOF loading within the polyethylene oxide-based polymers on polyacrylonitrile supports. The membrane with 40 wt % MOF demonstrated a 212 % increment in CO2 permeance at 25 °C and maintained a selectivity of 20 at 60 °C, which is attributed to the stable diffusivity selectivity of MOFs at high temperature. Furthermore, the membrane was evaluated with mixed gas and 83 % relative humidity (RH) at 60 °C, achieving a CO2 permeance up to 2793 GPU and a CO2/N2 selectivity of 21.6. This work offers insights into the design of practical mixed matrix membranes, which not only paves the way towards energy efficient carbon capture from flue gas, but also provides more possibilities for other applications.

Engineering CO2-Ultraselective Membranes: Molecularly Tailored Low-Crystallinity Polyvinylamine-PEGDGE Networks

Facilitated transport membranes (FTMs) with an ultraselective layer prepared from amine-rich polyvinylamine (PVAm)/2-(1-piperazinyl)ethylamine salt of sarcosine (PZEA-Sar) (denoted by PM) and an amorphous dendritic cross-linked network of PVAm-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) (named PP) were designed for CO2 separations. The developed membranes expedited CO2 transport over N2 through the synergistic effect from the induced CO2-philic ethylene oxide groups and highly hydrophilic and polar hydroxyl groups together with the low-crystallinity PP networks, which offer a high diffusion rate for CO2-amine complexes through the membrane and stabilize small molecular mobile carriers via hydrogen bonding. The best (PM/PP-10)/polysulfone (PSf) composite membranes achieved a superior CO2/N2 selectivity of 230 (4.6 times higher compared to that of the pristine PVAm/PSf membranes) paired with a CO2 permeance of 100 GPU, exceeding the 2019 Robeson upper bound. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the PVAm and PVAm/PP-10 membranes suggested that the PVAm matrix was swelled by the introduced PP-10 network with increased fractional free volume (FFV). The engineering of the molecular structure and the manipulation of FFV strongly push the limits of selectivity for PVAm-based FTMs, which may open doors to provide a facile and scalable approach to developing CO2-ultraselective membranes for carbon capture from flue gases.

A promising class of porous crystalline materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have recently emerged as a potential material in fabricating mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation applications. Their unique chemistry and structural versatility offer substantial advantages over conventional fillers. This review gives an in-depth exploration of MOF chemistry, focusing on strategies to manipulate their adsorption behavior to enhance separation properties. We scrutinize the impact of various MOF-based MMM components, including polymer matrix, MOFs fillers and polymer/filler interface, on the overall gas separation performance. This involves a detailed analysis of key parameters associated with MMM preparation. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive overview of the determining factors in MOF-based MMM development for gas separation, including MOF structure, synthesis, and chemistry. Moreover, the most advances in modification strategies of MOF for CO2 separation, such as a wide variety of hybrid MOFs will be outlined, which opens the door to an improved CO2 separation process. Finally, the gas transport mechanisms of MMMs are thoroughly discussed to understand the factors affecting the gas permeation through the polymer matrix, MOFs and interface between them.

A comprehensive review of flue gas bio-mitigation: chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas in bio-reactors as a sustainable possibility for technological advancements

Flue gas mitigation technologies aim to reduce the environmental impact of flue gas emissions, particularly from industrial processes and power plants. One approach to mitigate flue gas emissions involves bio-mitigation, which utilizes microorganisms to convert harmful gases into less harmful or inert substances. The review thus explores the bio-mitigation efficiency of chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas and their potential application in bio-reactors. Chemolithotrophs are microorganisms that can derive energy from inorganic compounds, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), present in the flue gas. These microorganisms utilize specialized enzymatic pathways to oxidize these compounds and produce energy. By harnessing the metabolic capabilities of chemolithotrophs, flue gas emissions can be transformed into value-added products. Bio-reactors provide controlled environments for the growth and activity of chemolithotrophic microorganisms. Depending on the specific application, these can be designed as suspended or immobilized reactor systems. The choice of bio-reactor configuration depends on process efficiency, scalability, and ease of operation. Factors influencing the bio-mitigation efficiency of chemolithotrophic interactions include the concentration and composition of the flue gas, operating conditions (such as temperature, pH, and nutrient availability), and reactor design. Chemolithotrophic interactions with flue gas in bio-reactors offer a potentially efficient approach to mitigating flue gas emissions. Continued research and development in this field are necessary to optimize reactor design, microbial consortia, and operating conditions. Advances in understanding the metabolism and physiology of chemolithotrophic microorganisms will contribute to developing robust and scalable bio-mitigation technologies for flue gas emissions.

Reforming CO2 bio-mitigation utilizing Bacillus cereus from hypersaline realms in pilot-scale bubble column bioreactor

The bubble column reactor of 10 and 20 L capacity was designed to bio-mitigate 10% CO2 (g) with 90% air utilizing thermophilic bacteria (Bacillus cereus SSLMC2). The maximum biomass yield during the growth phase was obtained as 9.14 and 10.78 g L-1 for 10 and 20 L capacity, respectively. The maximum removal efficiency for CO2 (g) was obtained as 56% and 85% for the 10 and 20 L reactors, respectively. The FT-IR and GC-MS examination of the extracellular and intracellular samples identified value-added products such as carboxylic acid, fatty alcohols, and hydrocarbons produced during the process. The total carbon balance for CO2 utilization in different forms confirmed that B. cereus SSLMC2 utilized 1646.54 g C in 10 L and 1587 g of C in 20 L reactor out of 1696.13 g of total carbon feed. The techno-economic assessment established that the capital investment required was $286.21 and $289.08 per reactor run of 11 days and $0.167 and $0.187 per gram of carbon treated for 10 and 20 L reactors, respectively. The possible mechanism pathways for bio-mitigating CO2 (g) by B. cereus SSLMC2 were also presented utilizing the energy reactions. Hence, the work presents the novelty of utilizing thermophilic bacteria and a bubble column bioreactor for CO2 (g) bio-mitigation.

Developing Mixed Matrix Membranes with Good CO2 Separation Performance Based on PEG-Modified UiO-66 MOF and 6FDA-Durene Polyimide

The use of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) comprising metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the separation of CO2 from flue gas has gained recognition as an effective strategy for enhancing gas separation efficiency. When incorporating porous materials like MOFs into a polymeric matrix to create MMMs, the combined characteristics of each constituent typically manifest. Nevertheless, the inadequate dispersion of an inorganic MOF filler within an organic polymer matrix can compromise the compatibility between the filler and matrix. In this context, the aspiration is to develop an MMM that not only exhibits optimal interfacial compatibility between the polymer and filler but also delivers superior gas separation performance, specifically in the efficient extraction of CO2 from flue gas. In this study, we introduce a modification technique involving the grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) onto a UiO-66-NH2 MOF filler (referred to as PEG-MOF), aimed at enhancing its compatibility with the 6FDA-durene matrix. Moreover, the inherent CO2-philic nature of PEGDE is anticipated to enhance the selectivity of CO2 over N2 and CH4. The resultant MMM, incorporating 10 wt% of PEG-MOF loading, exhibits a CO2 permeability of 1671.00 Barrer and a CO2/CH4 selectivity of 22.40. Notably, these values surpass the upper bound reported by Robeson in 2008.

A roadmap to enhance gas permselectivity in metal-organic framework-based mixed-matrix membranes

Performing gas separation at high efficiency with minimum energy input and reduced carbon footprint is a major challenge. While several separation methods exist at various technology readiness levels, porous membrane-based separation is considered as a disruptive technology. To attain sustainability and required efficiency, different approaches of membrane design have been explored. However, the selectivity-permeation trade-off and membrane aging have restricted further advancement. In this regard, a new generation composite made of organic polymers and metal-organic framework (MOF) fillers shows substantial promise. Organic polymer matrix allows easy processibility, but it has poor permselectivity for gas molecules. Metal-organic frameworks are excellent sieving materials; however, they suffer from poor processibility issues. A combination of these two components makes an ideal sieving membrane, which can potentially outnumber the existing energy intensive distillation strategies. In this perspective, we have discussed key indices that regulate gas permselectivity by a careful selection of the existing literature. While the target gas flux and selectivity values have been a part of many previous reviews and articles, we have presented a concise discussion on the interface design of the MOF-polymer membrane, morphology, and orientation control of MOF fillers in the matrix. Following this, a future roadmap to overcome challenges related to MOF-polymer interfacial defects is outlined.

Alshgari R, Jamal M, Uz Zaman S, Umar M, Rafiq S, Muhammad N, Fawad JB, Shafiee SA. Deep Eutectic Solvent Coated Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Based Polysulfone Membrane to Mitigate Environmental Toxicology

In this study, ceria nanoparticles (NPs) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) were synthesized, and the ceria-NP's surfaces were modified by DES to form DES-ceria NP filler to develop mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). For the sake of interface engineering, MMMs of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% filler loadings were fabricated using solution casting technique. The characterizations of SEM, FTIR and TGA of synthesized membranes were performed. SEM represented the surface and cross-sectional morphology of membranes, which indicated that the filler is uniformly dispersed in the polysulfone. FTIR was used to analyze the interaction between the filler and support, which showed there was no reaction between the polymer and DES-ceria NPs as all the peaks were consistent, and TGA provided the variation in the membrane materials with respect to temperature, which categorized all of the membranes as very stable and showed that the trend of stability increases with respect to DES-ceria NPs filler loading. For the evaluation of efficiency of the MMMs, the gas permeation was tested. The permeability of CO2 was improved in comparison with the pristine Polysulfone (PSF) membrane and enhanced selectivities of 35.43 (αCO2/CH4) and 39.3 (αCO2/N2) were found. Hence, the DES-ceria NP-based MMMs proved useful in mitigating CO2 from a gaseous mixture.

Improved CO2/N2 separation performance of Pebax-1074 blend membranes containing poly(ethylene glycol)

Developing blend membrane material is one feasible and effective route for improving the gas separation efficiency and commercial attractiveness of membrane technologies. Here, free-standing membranes were prepared by casting method using Pebax-1074 as continuous polymer matrix and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as dispersive organic fillers. The morphology, surface functional groups, microstructure and thermal stability of the membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. The effects of preparation variables including average molecular weight and dosage of PEG on the microstructure, morphology and properties of the blend membranes were investigated. In addition, the effects of operation conditions including permeation temperature and permeation pressure on the gas separation performance of the blend membranes were also examined. The results showed that the addition of PEG can obviously modify the structure-properties and significantly improve the separation performance of resultant membranes. Under the conditions of 30°C and 0.25 MPa, the optimal CO2 permeability and CO2/N2 selectivity respectively reached to 124.3Barrer and 115.8 for the blend membranes made by PEG600 with a content of 20% in Pebax-1074 matrix. In brief, the as-prepared blend membranes are proved to be promising for CO2/N2 separation application.

Polymeric composite membranes in carbon dioxide capture process: a review

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission to the atmosphere is the prime cause of certain environmental issues like global warming and climate change, in the present day scenario. Capturing CO₂ from various stationary industrial emission sources is one of the initial steps to control the aforementioned problems. For this concern, a variety of resources, such as liquid absorbents, solid adsorbents, and membranes, have been utilized for CO₂ capturing from various emission sources. Focused on membrane-based CO₂ capture, polymeric membranes with composite structure (polymeric composite membrane) offer a better performance in CO₂ capturing process than other membranes, due to the composite structure it offers higher gas flux and less material usage, thus facile to use high performed expensive material for membrane fabrication and achieved good efficacy in CO₂ capture. This compressive review delivers the utilization of different polymeric composite membranes in CO₂ capturing applications. Further, the types of polymeric materials used and the different physicochemical modifications of those membrane materials and their CO₂ capturing ability are briefly discussed in the text. In conclusion, the current status and possible perspective ways to improve the CO₂ capture process in industrial CO₂ gas separation applications are described in this review.

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

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).

Mixed Dimensional Nanostructure (UiO-66-Decorated MWCNT) as a Nanofiller in Mixed-Matrix Membranes for Enhanced CO2 /CH4 Separation

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with combination of two distinct dimensional nanofillers (such as 1D-3D, 2D-3D, or 3D-3D, etc.) have drawn special attention for gas separation applications due to their concerted effects on gas permeation and mechanical properties. An amine-functionalized 1D multiwalled carbon nanotube (NH₂ -MWCNT) with exceptional mechanical strength and rapid gas transport was crosslinked with an amine-functionalized 3D metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH₂ ) with high CO₂ affinity in a Schiff base reaction. The resultant crosslinked mixed-dimensional nanostructure was used as a nanofiller in a polysulfone (PSf) polymer matrix to explore the underlying synergy between 1D and 3D nanostructures on the gas separation performance of MMMs. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy and mapping revealed the homogenous dispersion of UiO-66@MWCNT in the polymer matrix. The MMM containing 5.0 wt. % UiO-66@MWCNT demonstrated a superior permeability 8.3 Barrer as compared to the 4.2 Barrer of pure PSf membrane for CO₂ . Moreover, the selectivity (CO₂ /CH₄ ) of this MMM was enhanced to 39.5 from the 28.0 observed for pure PSf under similar conditions of pressure and temperature.

Trends and Prospects in UiO-66 Metal-Organic Framework for CO2 Capture, Separation, and Conversion

This paper summarizes the structural advancement of UiO-66 and its role in CO₂ capture, separation, and transformation into chemicals. The first part of the review summarizes the fast-growing literature related to the CO₂ capture reported by UiO-66 during the past ten years. The second part provides an overview of various advancements in UiO-66 membranes in CO₂ purification. The third part describes the role of UiO-66 and its composites as catalysts for CO₂ conversion into useful products. Despite many achievements, significant challenges associated with UiO-66 are addressed, and future perspectives are comprehensively presented to forecast how UiO-66 might be used further for CO₂ management.

Efficient Facilitated Transport Polymer Membrane for CO2/CH4 Separation from Oilfield Associated Gas

CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (CO₂-EOR) technology is a competitive strategy to improve oil field economic returns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the arbitrary emissions or combustion of the associated gas, which mainly consists of CO₂ and CH₄, will cause the aggravation of the greenhouse effect and a huge waste of resources. In this paper, the high-performance facilitated transport multilayer composite membrane for CO₂/CH₄ separation was prepared by individually adjusting the membrane structure of each layer. The effect of test conditions on the CO₂/CH₄ separation performance was systematically investigated. The membrane exhibits high CO₂ permeance of 3.451 × 10^-7 mol·m^-2·s^-1·Pa^-1 and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity of 62 at 298 K and 0.15 MPa feed gas pressure. The cost analysis was investigated by simulating the two-stage system. When the recovery rate and purity of CH₄ are 98%, the minimum specific cost of separating CO₂/CH₄ (45/55 vol%) can be reduced to 0.046 $·Nm^-3 CH₄. The excellent short-to-mid-term stability indicates the great potential of large industrial application in the CH₄ recovery and CO₂ reinjection from oilfield associated gas.

Synthesis, Characterization, and CO2/N2 Separation Performance of POEM-g-PAcAm Comb Copolymer Membranes

Alcohol-soluble comb copolymers were synthesized from rubbery poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (POEM) and glassy polyacrylamide (PAcAm) via economical and facile free-radical polymerization. The synthesis of comb copolymers was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies. The bicontinuous microphase-separated morphology and amorphous structure of comb copolymers were confirmed by wide-angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. With increasing POEM content in the comb copolymer, both CO₂ permeability and CO₂/N₂ selectivity gradually increased. A mechanically strong free-standing membrane was obtained at a POEM:PAcAm ratio of 70:30 wt%, in which the CO₂ permeability and CO₂/N₂ selectivity reached 261.7 Barrer (1 Barrer = 10⁻¹⁰ cm³ (STP) cm cm⁻² s⁻¹ cmHg⁻¹) and 44, respectively. These values are greater than those of commercially available Pebax and among the highest separation performances reported previously for alcohol-soluble, all-polymeric membranes without porous additives. The high performances were attributed to an effective CO₂-philic pathway for the ethylene oxide group in the rubbery POEM segments and prevention of the N₂ permeability by glassy PAcAm chains.

Cross-Linked Mixed-Matrix Membranes Using Functionalized UiO-66-NH2 into PEG/PPG-PDMS-Based Rubbery Polymer for Efficient CO2 Separation

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) with an ideal polymer-filler interface and high gas separation performance are very challenging to fabricate because of incompatibility between the fillers and the polymer matrix. This work provides a simple technique to prepare a series of cross-linked MMMs (xMMM@n) by covalently attaching UiO-66-NB metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) within the PEG/PPG-PDMS copolymer matrix via ring-opening metathesis polymerization and in situ membrane casting. The norbornene-modified MOF (UiO-66-NB) is successfully copolymerized and dispersed homogeneously into a PEG/PPG-PDMS matrix because of very fast polymer formation and strong covalent interaction between MOFs and the rubbery polymer. A significant improvement in gas permeability is achieved in membranes up to a 5 wt % MOF loading compared to the pristine polymer membrane without affecting selectivity. The CO₂/N₂ separation performance of xMMM@1, xMMM@3, and xMMM@5 with 1, 3, and 5 wt % MOF loading, respectively, surpassed Robeson's 2008 upper bound. In addition, the best performing membrane, xMMM@3 (P_CO2 = 585 Barrer and CO₂/N₂ ∼53), approaches the 2019 upper bound, indicating that the cross-linked MMMs (xMMM@n) are very promising for CO₂ separation from flue gas. The experimental results of our study were evaluated and are supported by theoretical data obtained using the Maxwell model for MMMs. Moreover, the developed MMMs, xMMM@ns, displayed outstanding antiplasticization performance at pressures of up to 25 atm and very stable antiaging performance for up to 11 months with good temperature switching behaviors.

Surface Modifications of Nanofillers for Carbon Dioxide Separation Nanocomposite Membrane

CO2 separation is an important process for a wide spectrum of industries including petrochemical, refinery and coal-fired power plant industries. The membrane-based process is a promising operation for CO2 separation owing to its fundamental engineering and economic benefits over the conventionally used separation processes. Asymmetric polymer–inorganic nanocomposite membranes are endowed with interesting properties for gas separation processes. The presence of nanosized inorganic nanofiller has offered unprecedented opportunities to address the issues of conventionally used polymeric membranes. Surface modification of nanofillers has become an important strategy to address the shortcomings of nanocomposite membranes in terms of nanofiller agglomeration and poor dispersion and polymer–nanofiller incompatibility. In the context of CO2 gas separation, surface modification of nanofiller is also accomplished to render additional CO2 sorption capacity and facilitated transport properties. This article focuses on the current strategies employed for the surface modification of nanofillers used in the development of CO2 separation nanocomposite membranes. A review based on the recent progresses made in physical and chemical modifications of nanofiller using various techniques and modifying agents is presented. The effectiveness of each strategy and the correlation between the surface modified nanofiller and the CO2 separation performance of the resultant nanocomposite membranes are thoroughly discussed.

Ultrathin unobstructed gas transport channels through the membrane selective layer are constructed in mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) by using gravity-induced interface self-assembly of poly(vinylamine) and polymer-modified MIL-101(Cr). For CO₂ /N₂ (15/85 by volume) mixed gas, the MMMs achieve a high CO₂ permeance of 823 gas permeation units and CO₂ /N₂ selectivity of 242 at 0.5 MPa. Based on economic analyses, a two-stage membrane process can achieve gas separation and economic targets.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a class of promising membrane materials. UiO-66 is a prototypical and stable MOF material with a number of analogues. In this article, we review five approaches for fabricating UiO-66 polycrystalline membranes including in situ synthesis, secondary synthesis, biphase synthesis, gas-phase deposition and electrochemical deposition, as well as their applications in gas separation, pervaporation, nanofiltration and ion separation. On this basis, we propose possible methods for scalable synthesis of UiO-66 membranes and their potential separation applications in the future.

Introducing hydrophilic ultra-thin ZIF-L into mixed matrix membranes for CO2/CH4 separation

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were developed by mixing hydrophilically modified two-dimensional (2D) imidazole framework (named as hZIF-L) flakes into a Pebax MH 1657 (Pebax) matrix, and designed to separate carbon dioxide/methane (CO₂/CH₄) mixtures. The hZIF-L flakes were important for increasing the effectiveness of the MMMs. First, the tannic acid (TA) etched hZIF-L flakes have a large number of microporous (1.8 nm) and two-dimensional anisotropic transport channels, which offered convenient gas transport channels and improved the permeability of CO₂. Second, the TA molecules provide the surface of the ZIF-L flakes with more hydrophilic functional groups such as carbonyl groups (C Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019 ]]> O) and hydroxyl groups (–OH), which could effectively prevent non-selective interfacial voids and filler agglomeration in the Pebax matrix, and also presented strong binding ability to water and CO₂ molecules. The satisfactory interface compatibility and affinity with the CO₂ molecule promoted its permeability, solubility, and selectivity. As a result, the MMMs exhibited the highest performance of gas separation with the hZIF-L flake weight content of 5%, at which the CO₂ permeability and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity were 502.44 barrer and 33.82 at 0.2 MPa and 25 °C, respectively.
