Abstract
Solubility-selective polymer membranes are promising materials for C3+ hydrocarbons removal from methane and other permanent gas streams. To this end, a dense solubility-selective membrane based on crosslinked poly(tetradecyl methyl siloxane) was synthesized. Sorption of methane, ethane, and n-butane in the polymer was measured in the temperature range of 5-35 °C. An abnormal temperature dependence of sorption was detected, contradicting the generally accepted view of sorption as an exothermic process. In particular, methane shows minimal sorption at 5 °C. The abnormal temperature behavior was found to be related to crystallization of the alkyl side chains at temperatures below ~10 °C. Gas permeability determined by sorption and permeation methods are in reasonable agreement with each other and decrease in the order n-C4H10 > C2H6 > CH4. The solubility of these alkanes changes in the same order indicating that poly(tetradecyl methyl siloxane) is indeed the sorption-selective membrane. The diffusivities and permeabilities of studied alkanes declined with decreasing temperature, whereas the n-C4H10/CH4 permselectivity increases with decreasing temperature, reaching a value of 23 at 5 °C.

Development of Amine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks Hollow Fiber Mixed Matrix Membranes for CO 2 and CH 4 Separation: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14071408.

Abstract
CO2 separation from raw natural gas can be achieved through the use of the promising membrane-based technology. Polymeric membranes are a known method for separating CO2 but suffer from trade-offs between its permeability and selectivity. Therefore, through the use of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) which utilizes inorganic or hybrid fillers such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in polymeric matrix, the permeability and selectivity trade-off can be overcome and possibly surpass the Robeson Upper Bounds. In this study, various types of MOFs are explored in terms of its structure and properties such as thermal and chemical stability. Next, the use of amine and non-amine functionalized MOFs in MMMs development are compared in order to investigate the effects of amine functionalization on the membrane gas separation performance for flat sheet and hollow fiber configurations as reported in the literature. Moreover, the gas transport properties and various challenges faced by hollow fiber mixed matrix membranes (HFMMMs) are discussed. In addition, the utilization of amine functionalization MOF for mitigating the challenges faced is included. Finally, the future directions of amine-functionalized MOF HFMMMs are discussed for the fields of CO2 separation.

Enhancement of CO2 Removal Efficacy of Fluidized Bed Using Particle Mixing. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2018. [DOI: 10.3390/app8091467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The present study proposes a cost-effective assisted fluidization technique of particle mixing to improve the carbon capture effectiveness of a fluidized bed containing fine adsorbent powder. Using activated carbon as the adsorbent, we mixed external particle of Geldart group B classification in different fractions to examine the effectiveness of the proposed strategy of particle mixing. Four different particle-mixing cases were considered by varying the amount of added particle—0, 5, 10, and 30 wt %—on external particle-free basis. The inlet flow of the nitrogen was fixed, while two different flows of carbon dioxide were used. The adsorption experiment consisted of a three step procedure comprising purging using pure nitrogen, followed by adsorption with fixed inlet CO2 concentration, and finally the desorption step. Inlet flows of both nitrogen and CO2 were separately controlled using electronic mass flow controllers with the help of data acquisition system (DAQ). The CO2 breakthrough was carefully monitored using the CO2/O2 analyzer, whose analog output was recorded using the DAQ. Best results were obtained with 10% external particles. This is in conformity with the results of our previous study of bed hydrodynamics, which pointed to clear improvement in the fluidization behavior with particle mixing.

Abstract
Based on the results of research works reflected in the scientific literature, the main examples, methods and approaches to the development of polymer inorganic nanocomposite materials for target membranes are considered. The focus is on membranes for critical technologies with improved mechanical, thermal properties that have the necessary capabilities to solve the problems of a selective pervaporation. For the purpose of directional changes in the parameters of membranes, effects on their properties of the type, amount and conditions of nanoparticle incorporation into the polymer matrix were analyzed. An influence of nanoparticles on the structural and morphological characteristics of the nanocomposite film is considered, as well as possibilities of forming transport channels for separated liquids are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to a correlation of nanocomposite structure-transport properties of membranes, whose separation characteristics are usually considered within the framework of the diffusion-sorption mechanism.

Development and Characterization of Defect-Free Matrimid ® Mixed-Matrix Membranes Containing Activated Carbon Particles for Gas Separation. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:E51. [PMID: 30966089 PMCID: PMC6415108 DOI: 10.3390/polym10010051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2017] [Revised: 12/19/2017] [Accepted: 01/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation in the form of thick films were prepared via the combination of the polymer Matrimid® 5218 and activated carbons (AC). The AC particles had a mean particle size of 1.5 μm and a mean pore diameter of 1.9 nm. The films were prepared by slow solvent evaporation from casting solutions in chloroform, which had a varying polymer⁻AC ratio. It was possible to produce stable films with up to a content of 50 vol % of AC. Thorough characterization experiments were accomplished via differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis, while the morphology of the MMMs was also investigated via scanning electron microscopy. The gas transport properties were revealed by employing time-lag measurements for different pure gases as well as sorption balance experiments for the filler particles. It was found that defect free Matrimid® MMMs with AC were prepared and the increase of the filler content led to a higher effective permeability for different gases. The single gas selectivity αij of different gas pairs maintained stable values with the increase of AC content, regardless of the steep increase in the effective permeability of the pure gases. Estimation of the solubilities and the diffusivities of the Matrimid®, AC, and MMMs allowed for the explanation of the increasing permeabilities of the MMMs, with the increase of AC content by modelling.
