Facilitated transport of olefin through solid PAAm and PAAm-graft composite membranes with silver ions

Solid poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) composite membranes containing silver ions have been investigated for olefin/paraffin separation. The propylene permeance increased significantly for a solid PAAm/AgBF₄ composite membrane with increasing loading amount of silver ions. Silver ions in solid PAAm form reversible complexes with propylene, resulting in the facilitated transport of propylene. The propylene selectivity of 100 over propane was obtained when the mole ratio of silver ions to acrylamide unit was 1. This high separation performance would be obtained predominantly because of the high loading of the propylene carrier, silver ions. PAAm-graft/AgBF₄ composite membranes were prepared in order to improve the gas permeance. Introduction of PAAm grafts on a polysulfone microporous membrane surface was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The propylene permeance was increased through the PAAm-graft/AgBF₄ membranes compared to that through of the PAAm/AgBF₄ composite membranes, indicating the formation of ultra-thin top layer.     

Impact of ionic liquids on silver thermoplastic polyurethane composite membranes for propane/propylene separation

This work describes newly synthesized composite polymeric membranes and their utilization in propane/propylene separation in a gas mixture. The nonporous composite polymers were successfully synthesized by using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and several silver salts/silver salts with ionic liquids (ILs). Our studies showed that silver bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Ag[Tf₂N]) containing membranes outperformed other silver salt containing membranes in terms of selectivity. In addition, to this finding, ILs, as additives for the membranes, enhanced the selectivity by facilitating improved coordination of the olefin with the silver ions in the dense composite polymers.     

Complexation mechanism of olefin with silver ions dissolved in a polymer matrix and its effect on facilitated olefin transport

Remarkable separation performance of olefin/paraffin mixtures was previously reported by facilitated olefin transport through silver-based polymer electrolyte membranes. The mechanism of facilitated olefin transport in solid membranes of AgCF3SO3 dissolved in poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) is investigated. In silver polymer electrolyte membranes, only free anions are present up to the 2:1 mole ratio of [C=O]:[Ag], and ion pairs start to form at a ratio of 1:1, followed by higher-order ionic aggregates above a ratio of 1:2. At silver concentrations above 3:1, the propylene permeance increases almost linearly with the total silver concentration, unexpectedly, regardless of the silver ionic constituents. It was also found that all the silver constituents, including ion pairs and higher order ionic aggregates, were completely redissolved into free anions under the propylene environment; this suggests that propylene can be a good ligand for the silver cation. From these experimental findings, a new mechanism for the complexation reaction between propylenes and silver salts in silver-polymer electrolytes was proposed. The new mechanism is consistent with the linearity between the propylene permeance and the total silver concentration regardless of the kind of the silver constituents. Therefore, the facilitated propylene transport through silver-polymer electrolytes may be associated mainly with the silver cation weakly coordinated with both carbonyl oxygen atoms and propylene.     

Experimental and theoretical study on propylene absorption by using PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactors with various membrane structures

Five kinds of asymmetric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes with considerable different porosities at the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane were prepared via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method and applied for propylene absorption as gas–liquid membrane contactors. A commercial microporous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) hollow fiber membrane was also used as a highly hydrophobic membrane. Experiments on the absorption of pure propylene into silver nitrate solutions were performed and the effects of membrane structure, inner diameter, silver nitrate concentration and absorbent liquid flow rate were investigated at 298 K. PVDF membranes prepared by using nitrogen as bore fluid had lower inner surface porosity than the membranes prepared with solvent as bore fluid. Except the membrane with a skin layer at the outer surface, propylene absorption flux was inversely proportional to the inner diameter of the hollow fiber membrane, and propylene absorption rate per fiber was almost the same. Propylene flux increased with increasing the silver nitrate concentration and also with increasing the absorbent flow rate.A mathematical model for pure propylene absorption in a membrane contactor, which assumes that the membrane resistance is negligibly small and the total membrane area is effective for gas absorption, was proposed to simulate propylene absorption rates. Experimental results were satisfactorily simulated by the model except for the membrane having a skin layer. The model also suggested that propylene is absorbed in silver nitrate solutions accompanied by the instantaneous reversible reaction. This paper may be the first experimental and theoretical study on propylene absorption in membrane contactors.     

Gas Permeation Properties of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Membranes Prepared from Hydroxyl-Terminated Polyether and 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials were prepared by reacting 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (IPTS) with hydroxyl terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) and poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol) (PEPG), followed by hydrolysis and condensation with acid catalysis. Composite membranes have been obtained by casting hybrid sol on the microporous polysulfone substrate. The membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ¹³C NMR and ²⁹Si NMR. The permeability coefficients of N₂, O₂, CH₄ and CO₂ were measured by variable volume method. The gas permeability coefficients increase with increasing molecular weight of the polyethers. For the membranes containing PEG and PEPG, the higher values of CO₂ permeability coefficients and CO₂/N₂ separation factors are due to the presence of ethylene oxide segments. In case of PEPG membranes, molecular weight has more influence on CO₂ permeability than the effect of facilitation by ethylene oxide. The addition of TEOS into hybrid sol results in the decrease of all the gas permeability and does not affect the gas selectivity. PEG2000 membrane display the most performance among the hybrid membranes investigated here. The best values observed are CO₂ permeability of 94.2 Barrer with selectivity of 38.3 for CO₂/N₂ and 15.6 for CO₂/CH₄.

Structural changes of silver polymer electrolytes: Comparison between poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) and poly(N‐vinyl pyrrolidone) complexes with silver salt

The difference between the polymer matrices of poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) (POZ) and poly(N‐vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) does not have a significant effect on the facilitated propylene transport and propylene solubility in 1:1 polymer/silver salt complex membranes, according to our previous work. In this article, its origin is investigated in terms of both microstructures of silver polymer electrolytes and the coordinative interaction of silver ion with polymer and with the counteranion. Initially different microstructures of POZ and PVP become similar to each other upon dissolving a large amount of silver salt, as evidenced by propane transport properties, specific volume, and Bragg d‐spacing. The dissolution of the silver salt in the polymer solvent strongly depends on the coordinative interaction between silver ion and carbonyl oxygen of POZ and PVP. Thus, the structural similarity upon dissolving silver salts in POZ and PVP is primarily determined by the coordinative interaction between silver ion and carbonyl oxygen, which was confirmed by theoretical structure calculation based on density functional theory and by IR and Raman spectroscopy. Therefore, facilitated olefin transport for silver polymer electrolyte membranes does not strongly depend on the polymeric matrix at high silver concentrations. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of uniform alumina-mesoporous silica hybrid membranes

The synthesis and characterization of alumina-mesoporous silica (alumina-MS) hybrid membranes are reported. The hybrids are formed using a variation of the evaporative-induced self-assembly (EISA) process reported by Hayward et al. (Langmuir 2004, 20, 5998) based on dip coating of an Anopore 200 nm membrane with a Brij-56/TEOS/HCl/H2O solution. Numerous analytical methods are used to probe both the hybrid material and the silica phase after dissolution of the Anopore substrate. Most importantly, He/N2 permeation measurements show that the effective pore size of the membrane can be tuned from 20 to 5 nm based on the number of dip-coating cycles used. The observed He/N2 permselectivity of 2.7 +/- 0.11 is nearly identical to the theoretical value obtained (2.65) assuming Knudsen diffusion dominates. The selectivity of these membranes is higher than that of most commercial "5 nm" membranes (2.29), which is ascribed to the lack of pinhole defects in the materials reported here. The hybrid membranes as well as the silica obtained after dissolution of the Anopore substrate have been characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Those results indicate that the silica deposited in the Anopore membrane possesses uniform pores approximately 5 nm in size, consistent with the permeation studies. The current work presents an alternative approach to materials that possess many of the properties of mesoporous silica thin films (i.e., pores of controlled size and topology) without the difficulty of growing mesoporous silica thin films on porous supports.     

Effect of porosity on the effective electrical conductivity of different ceramic membranes used as separators in eletrochemical reactors

Different microporous ceramic membranes have been investigated to be used as separators in electrochemical reactors. The effect of porosity on the effective electrical conductivity of the ceramic membranes has been studied. The porosity of the membranes has been modified by changing the manufacturing pressure and by the addition of starch to the alumina–kaolin matrix. In the absence of starch the pore size distribution becomes more uniform with the increase of the manufacturing pressure, and lower porosities and average pore sizes are obtained. On the other hand, the porosity and the average pore size increase with the addition of starch to the alumina–kaolin matrix, but pore size distribution is less uniform and becomes bimodal with two different characteristic pore diameters.

The effective electrical conductivity of the membranes, κ_eff, increases with the decrease of manufacturing pressure and with the increase of starch content. The following correlation between the effective electrical conductivity and the porosity has been obtained: f_c = κ_eff/κ = 0.35 ^1.04, where κ is the electrolyte electrical conductivity.
