Abstract

Phosphazene-based polymers were synthesized by using different pendant groups such as trifluoroethoxy (TFE), phenoxy (PHO) and octafluoropentoxy (OFP). High performance methoxyethoxyethoxy/cyclohexoxy (MEE/CH) based polyphosphazene was developed for the first time in literature using a mixed-substitution method. The structural, chemical, and thermal properties of these polymers were analyzed using several techniques such as Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Significant differences in gas transport properties of gases have been observed between these pendant groups because of their differences in glass transition temperature and physical interaction with CO ₂. For the first time, we report on the high performance of TFE polyphophazene based mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) using a SIFSIX-Cu-2i (SIFSIX) metal organic framework (MOF) as the filler particles. These MMMs showed a significant improvement in both CO ₂ permeability and CO ₂/N ₂ selectivity compared to pure TFE polyphosphazene membranes. As a result, the excellent gas transport properties of these membranes make them very promising material for carbon capture applications.

Preparation and characterization of membranes with adjustable separation performance using polyphosphazene membranes

Peterson, E.S. ; Stone, M.L. ; Orme, C.J. - Separation Science and Technology

Preparation of polymeric membranes with dynamically adjustable separation properties is a new area of research. The approach described herein involves adjusting the permeate pressure of a swollen polymeric membrane to alter its separation properties. For example, during the separation of methylene blue from isopropyl alcohol, pressure on the permeate side was increased such that both methylene blue and alcohol were passed, resulting in no separation. The permeate pressure then was decreased and only colorless isopropyl alcohol passed through the membrane. A subsequent increase in the pressure on the permeate side results in no separation once again demonstrating that the effectsmore »« less

Mixed Gas Hydrogen Sulfide Permeability and Separation Using Supported Polyphosphazene Membranes

Frederick F. Stewart ; Christopher J. Orme - Journal of Membrane Science

Three phosphazene polymers were characterized for permeability using a suite of pure gases, including H2S where high permeabilities were measured with respect to the other gases in the study. Furthermore, mixed gas selectivities were determined and compared to the ideal gas selectivities for the H2S/CH4, CO2/CH4, and Ar/CH4 gas pairs. The three phosphazenes represent a set of membrane materials differing by their polarities. Description of the polarity of each was performed using Hansen solubility parameters derived from group contributions for each chemical structure. A good correlation was observed between the polar Hansen parameter (äp) and the gas permeabilities of bothmore »« less
Effect of feed composition on the performance of polymer-zeolite mixed matrix gas separation membranes

Battal, T. ; Bac, N. ; Yilmaz, L. - Separation Science and Technology

An emerging membrane morphology with future potential is mixed matrix membranes composed of two interpenetrating matrices of different materials. In this study, mixed matrix membranes of an amorphous glassy polymer (polyethersulfone) and hydrophilic zeolite (4A) were prepared. An elaborate membrane preparation technique that enables incorporation of high zeolite loading into the membrane was developed. Performance of membranes was tested by using a laboratory-scale gas separation apparatus. The permeation rates of N{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, Ar, O{sub 2}, CO{sub 2}, and H{sub 2} were evaluated through a dense homogeneous PES membrane and a PES-4A mixed matrix membrane.

On the direct synthesis of Cu(BDC) MOF nanosheets and their performance in mixed matrix membranes

Shete, Meera ; Kumar, Prashant ; Bachman, Jonathan E. ; ... - Journal of Membrane Science

High aspect-ratio nanosheets of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold promise for use as selective flakes in gas separation membranes. However, simple and scalable methods for the synthesis of MOF nanosheets have thus far remained elusive. Here, we describe the direct synthesis of Cu(BDC) (BDC2-= 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) nanosheets with an average lateral size of 2.5 mu m and a thickness of 25 nm from a well-mixed solution. Characterization of the nanosheets by powder and thin film X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and electron diffraction reveals pronounced structural disorder that may affect their pore structure. Incorporation of the Cu (BDC) nanosheets into a Matrimid polymermore »« less
