“…One of the first reports of a MOF used in a MMM concerned the additions of copper biphenyl dicarboxylate-triethylene diamine to poly (3-acetoxyethylthiophene (PAET) [19]. Since then quite a few MOF/ polymer pairs have been studied in literature [20,21]. Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of MOFs whit a similar structure of zeolites.…”

A R T I C L E I N F O Keywords:Metal organic frameworks ZIF-94 Mixed matrix membrane CO 2 capture A B S T R A C T Carbon capture and storage (CCS) using membranes for the separation of CO 2 holds great promise for the reduction of atmospheric CO 2 emissions from fuel combustion and industrial processes. Among the different process outlines, post-combustion CO 2 capture could be easily implemented in existing power plants. However, for this technology to become viable, new membrane materials have to be developed. In this article we present the development of high performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) composed of ZIF-94 filler and 6FDA-DAM polymer matrix. The CO 2 /N 2 separation performance was evaluated by mixed gas tests (15CO 2 :85N 2 ) at 25°C and 1-4 bar transmembrane pressure difference. The CO 2 membrane permeability was increased by the addition of the ZIF-94 particles, maintaining a constant CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of~22. The largest increase in CO 2 permeability of~200% was observed for 40 wt% ZIF-94 loading, reaching the highest permeability (2310 Barrer) at similar selectivity among 6FDA-DAM MMMs reported in literature. For the first time, the ZIF-94 metal organic framework crystals with particle size smaller than 500 nm were synthesized using nonhazardous solvent (tetrahydrofuran and methanol) instead of dimethylformamide (DMF) in a scalable process. Membranes were characterized by three non-invasive image techniques, i.e. SEM, AFM and nanoscale infrared imaging by scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). The combination of these techniques demonstrates a very good dispersion and interaction of the filler in the polymer layer, even at very high loadings.

“…The advancement made on the development of membranes for the separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from natural gas is still limited to the usage of polymeric membrane due to their good intrinsic properties [1][2][3]. However, they are subjected to the drawbacks of permeability and selectivity trade-off limitation as their polymer chain integrity is subdued by both physical aging and CO 2 plasticization over time [4,5].…”

“…However, they are subjected to the drawbacks of permeability and selectivity trade-off limitation as their polymer chain integrity is subdued by both physical aging and CO 2 plasticization over time [4,5]. On the contrary, the resistance of inorganic membrane to the aforementioned conditions has contributed to its fragility and high manufacturing cost [1]. Therefore, recent developments are focused on the development of MMM which is made up of a polymeric phase with dispersed inorganic particles.…”

“…The organic substituents also provide better compatibility with polymer matrix with strong chemical and physical interactions [20]. Hence, the intrinsic mechanical and thermal properties of host polymer will not be compromised with the incorporation of POSS [1]. Besides, the smaller the particle size, the better the adhesion towards the polymeric matrix as it provides a larger interfacial area for bonding to occur [21].…”

The main obstacle encountered during the development of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) mixed matrix membrane (MMM) via physical blending is the combination of compatible inorganic filler and polymeric matrix. In this work, mono-functional POSS of different amine functionalised substituent chain lengths namely aminopropylisobutyl POSS (AMPOSS-a) and aminoethylaminopropylisobutyl POSS (AMPOSS-b) were incorporated into Polysulfone (PSf) membrane at 1wt%, 2wt% and 3wt% loadings. The effect of amine substituent chain lengths on its compatibility and dispersion properties as well as the glass transition temperature of the MMMs were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Particle agglomerations were observed to increase with the loadings of both fillers although more prominent in AMPOSS-b/PSf membranes. This was attributed to the interparticle forces such as van der Waals and electrostatic forces. Distribution of both fillers were concentrated at the upper region of the membranes at 1wt% and 2wt% as a consequence of their density difference. The glass transition temperature (T g ) for pristine PSf at 197ºC showed an overall decrement between 40.3ºC to 47.1ºC when AMPOSS-a and AMPOSS-b were incorporated. The decrement was due to AMPOSS particle loadings, surface chemistry and particle-polymer chain topology. Hence, mono-substituted POSS with varying amine substituent chain lengths did not improve the glass transition temperature nor contribute to homogeneous MMM morphology. This had been identified to be the consequence of POSS surface energy, which might be caused by the association of hydrocarbon chains saturated on the particle surface due to the presence of isobutyl group.

“…Membrane separation has gained great popularity over the last 30 years and is going to be a promising technology (Baheri et al, 2015;Farno et al, 2014;Rezakazemi et al, 2017a;Rezakazemi et al, 2014;Rezakazemi et al, 2017b;Rezakazemi et al, 2017c;Rezakazemi et al, 2015a;Rezakazemi et al, 2015bRezakazemi et al, , 2016Shahverdi et al, 2013). The membrane based separation processes have numerous benefits such as stable effluent quality and small area requirement (Rezakazemi et al, 2013c;Rezakazemi and Mohammadi, 2013;Rostamizadeh et al, 2013).…”

-The effects of aluminum oxide nanoparticles on the removal of asphaltenes from an Iranian crude oil (Soroush) using a ceramic membrane with pore size of 0.2 mm were investigated. In order to achieve superior asphaltene separation by ultrafiltration, it is essential to make some changes for destabilizing asphaltene in crude oil. The asphaltene destabilization was done using crude oil contact with an acid containing dissolved metal ions. Metal oxide nanoparticles adsorbed asphaltene molecules and increased their molecular size. The nanoparticle of aluminum oxide was applied to alter precipitation and peptization properties of asphaltenes. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) was used to measurement of the asphaltene molecular size dissolved in toluene. Raman spectroscopy and the Tuinstra equation were used to determine the aromatic sheet diameter (L a ) via the integrated intensities of the G and D1 modes. This revealed that the asphaltene particles react with nano aluminum oxide and the average molecular size of asphaltene was raised from 512.754 to 2949.557 nm and L a from 5.482 to 13.787. The obtained results showed that using nano aluminum oxides, asphaltene separation increased from 60-85 wt% to 90-97 wt% based on the asphaltene content of crude oil.
