Parameters estimation of fabricated polysulfone membrane for CO2/CH4 separation

Molecular simulation of [P8883][Tf2N] ionic liquid decorated silica in 6FDA-ODA based mixed matrix membrane for enhanced CO2/CH4 separation

“…However, the gas solubility decreased as the quantity of IL-silica nanoparticles increased beyond a certain point. For instance, for the 6FDA-ODA/5 wt% IL-silica MMM, the solubility of CO 2 is 50.23 cm 3 (STP) per cm 3 atm, but for the 6FDA-ODA/10 wt% IL-silica MMM, it is reduced to 35.85 cm 3 (STP) per cm 3 atm. This indicates that the solubility decreases with increasing IL-silica content as shown in Fig.…”

“…1,2 Among the various separation technologies, membrane separation offers several advantages, including environmental friendliness, simple fabrication, trouble-free application, low capital cost, low energy consumption, well-space utility, and excellent thermal suitability. 3 However, polymeric membranes have some shortcomings to meet industrialization standards due to the well-known "trade-off" between permeability and selectivity. 4 Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are designed to exceed Robeson's upper bounds to get around the tradeoff between permeability and selectivity.…”
