STUDIES ON THE SELF-DIFFUSION OF WATER ETHANOL MIXTURE IN CHITOSAN PERVAPORATION MEMBRANE WITH PULSED FIELD GRADIENT NMR DATA

The self-diffesion of water, ethanol and water-ethanol mixtures in chitosan (CS) membranes crosslinked byaqueous H_2SO_4 solution and uncrosslinked membrane was measured using pulsed-field gradient (PFG) nuclear magneticresonance (NMR) spectroscopy to obtain the partial solubilities and self-diffusion coefficients. An attempt was made toexplain the transport properties of water and ethanol through the CS membrane. It was concluded that there are two types ofchannel water and ethanol diffesate transfer. The water was localized in the hydrophilic ionic region formed by the ionizedgroups, and the ethanol was localized in the hydrophobic amorphous network of the polymer. There was a good agreementbetween the separation fastors estimated from PFG-NMR data and those obtained by pervaporation testing.

Effect of crosslinking on the properties of partially fluorinated anion exchange membranes

A series of crosslinked, ammonium‐functionalized, and partially fluorinated copolymers have been prepared and evaluated as anion exchange membranes. In order to investigate the effect of crosslinking on the membrane properties, precursor copolymers containing chloromethyl groups were crosslinked with various aliphatic diamines followed by quaternization with monoamines. Crosslinking was effective in lowering water absorbability at no expense of high hydroxide ion conductivity of the membranes. By tuning the degree of crosslinking (20 mol %) and crosslinker chain length (C6 and C8), the highest ion conductivity of 73 mS/cm (at 80°C in water) was achieved. Furthermore, alkaline stability of the membranes was also improved by the crosslinking; the remaining ion conductivity after the stability test (in 1 M potassium hydroxide at 80°C) was 8.2 mS/cm (after 1000 h) for the C6 crosslinked membrane and 1 mS/cm (after 500 h) for the uncrosslinked membrane, respectively. The ammonium groups attached with the crosslinkers seemed more alkaline stable than the uncrosslinked benzyltrimethylammonium groups, while the polymer main chain was intact under the harsh alkaline conditions. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent advances in sodium alginate-based membranes for dehydration of aqueous ethanol through pervaporation

Sodium alginate (SA) is a progressive material for membrane fabrication. The technological development of SA-based membranes has made a significant contribution to the separation techniques, especially in aqueous organic solutions. The outstanding performance of SA is attributed to its outstanding structural flexibility and hydrophilicity. In view of structural characteristics, SA membranes have immense utilization in the pervaporation separation of organics. Among various organics, dehydration of aqueous ethanol is employed as a standard to check the success of pervaporation (PV) membrane. Because ethanol and water have comparable molecular sizes, thus difficult to extract water from aqueous ethanol mixtures than it is for other organics. A literature survey shows that wide-ranging data are available on the PV performance of SA and its modified membranes. In this context, the present review addresses the recent advances made in SA membranes for enhanced ethanol dehydration performance during the last decade. Available data since 2010 has been compiled for grafted, crosslinked, blend, mixed matrix, and composite hybrid sodium alginate membranes in terms of separation factor, permeation flux, and pervaporation separation index PSI. The data are assessed with reference to the effect of feed composition, membrane selectivity, flux, and swelling behavior.     

Crosslinking of sulphonated poly (ether ether ketone) using aromatic bis(hydroxymethyl) compound

2,6-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-methyl phenol and 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl) benzene have been used as crosslinkers in sulphonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK DS 65%, IEC 1.84 mequiv./g) for the preparation of proton exchange membranes (PEMs). Crosslinking of SPEEK has been achieved by thermally activated bridging of the polymer chain with the hydroxymethyl group of crosslinker through condensation reaction with sulphonic acid group. The physico-chemical properties of uncrosslinked and crosslinked membrane were evaluated in terms of ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake, ionic conductivity and mechanical properties. The crosslinked membrane showed controlled swelling, ionic conductivity of 25–50 mS/cm at 80 °C and good mechanical properties. The chemical stability of the crosslinked membranes was studied by Fenton's test. The % loss in weight and changes in physico-chemical properties of the treated membranes were determined.

Separation of ethanol—water mixtures by pervaporation through thin,composite membranes

This paper reports on the separation of ethanol—water mixtures using pervaporation for several membrane types. The FT30 and RC100 membranes pass ethanol selectively at feed concentrations similar to fermentation beers, and the FT30 membrane continues to pass ethanol selectively at higher ethanol feed concentrations. As the ethanol concentration in the feed increases, the ethanol selectivity of both the FT30 and RC100 membranes decreases; near the ethanol—water azeotrope, both membranes pass water selectively. At lower ethanol concentrations, the selectivity of the FT30 membrane increases as the feed temperature increases above 23°C.     

Dehydration of 1,4-dioxane by pervaporation using filled and crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol membrane

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) membrane, was modified both physically and chemically by incorporation of inorganic filler, sodium aluminosilicate and chemical crosslinking with maleic acid and glutaraldehyde. The change of morphology and crystallinity of PVOH by this physical and chemical modification was studied by FTIR, DSC, TGA, SEM and XRD. These membranes were evaluated in terms of its potential for dehydration of dioxane by preferential sorption and permeation using pervaporation (PV) technique. These membranes were cast in the laboratory by solution casting from the polymer and other additives. The performance of the unfilled (containing no filler) glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinked PVOH-1 and maleic acid (MA) crosslinked PVOH-2 membranes were compared with filled (containing aluminosilicate filler) but GA crosslinked PVOH-3 and filled but MA crosslinked PVOH-4 membranes. The filled membranes were found to show higher flux and water selectivity. Among all the four used membranes, the MA crosslinked filled PVOH-4 membrane was found to show best results in terms of both water selectivity and flux.     

Novel two-ply composite membranes of chitosan and sodium alginate for the pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol and ethanol

Novel two-ply dense composite membranes were prepared using successive castings of sodium alginate and chitosan solutions for the pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol and ethanol. Preparation and operating parameters namely polymer types facing to the feed stream, NaOH treatment for the regeneration of chitosan, and crosslinking system types were investigated using the factorial design method. It was shown that these parameters were all critical to the performance of the membrane in the form of the main and interaction effects. The pervaporation performance of the two-ply membrane with its sodium alginate layer facing the feed side and crosslinked or insolubilized in sulfuric acid solution was compared with the pure sodium alginate and the chitosan membranes in terms of the flux and separation factors. It was shown that although its flux was lower than that of the pure sodium alginate and chitosan membranes, the separation factors at various alcohol concentrations were in between values for the two pure membranes. For the dehydration of 90 wt% isopropanol–water mixtures the performance of the two-ply membrane which was moderately crosslinked in formaldehyde was found to match the high performance of the pure sodium alginate membrane. This two-ply membrane had fluxes of 70 g/m² h at 95% EtOH, 554 g/m² h at 90% PrOH and separation factors of 1110 at 95% EtOH, 2010 at 90% PrOH and its mechanical properties were better than that of the pure sodium alginate membrane.

(2) 处于两个氨基之间的SO₄^2－在质子传递过程中起离子桥梁作用, 参与以水分子为载体的质子传导过程, 从而减小质子传导的阻力, 提高了质子传导率.     

Pore structure of gel chitosan membranes. I. Solute diffusion measurements

The capillary pore model of water-swollen gels was used to interpret solute diffusion through gel chitosan membranes. Diffusive permeability coefficients of 12 solutes ranging in molecular radius from 2.5 Å (methanol) to 14 Å (polyethylene glycol 4000) were measured for an untreated chitosan membrane, for four chitosan membranes crosslinked with glutaraldehyde of concentrations between 0.01 and 1% and coated with a protein and also, for comparison, for a commercial Cuprophan membrane. Through the capillary pore-model correlation of the above coefficients with the membrane water content, the following structural factors of the examined membranes were calculated: pore radius, surface porosity and tortuosity factor. Knowledge of these factors is required if the desired membranes are to be designed for a given application (e.g. dialysis).     

New composite membranes based on crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) and porous polyethylene films

A process for the preparation of new composite membranes via free-radical copolymerization of acrylic acid with a macromolecular crosslinker (allyloxyethylcellulose) on the surface of porous polyethylene films was proposed. To reveal the effect of the porous matrix on the properties of the composites, homogeneous hydrogel membranes based on crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) were studied. The swelling ratio and transport characteristics of the membranes during separation of ethanol-water mixture by pervaporation were determined depending on the ethanol concentration. It was found that all membranes at low ethanol concentrations (0–30 vol %) exhibited high swelling ratios, which drastically decreased in the range 30–40 vol % as a result of gel collapse. The composite membranes had a higher selectivity for water over a broad range of ethanol concentrations than homogeneous membranes, but a lower flux. It was found that the strength and elasticity of porous matrices was retained in the composite membranes, which became mechanically more isotropic owing to the presence of the crosslinked component.     

Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Composite Membranes Crosslinked by Carboxyl-capped Poly（ethylene glycol）

In this study a series of chemically crosslinked chitosan/poly（ethylene glycol） （CS/PEG） composite membranes were prepared with PEG as a crosslinking reagent other than an additional blend. First, carboxyl-eapped poly（ethylene glycol） （HOOC-PEG-COOH） was synthesized. Dense CS/PEG composite membranes were then prepared by casting/evaporation of CS and HOOC-PEG-COOH mixture in acetic acid solution. Chitosan was chemically crosslinked due to the amidation between the carboxyl in HOOC-PEG-COOH and the amino in chitosan under heating, as confirmed by FTIR analysis. The hydrophilicity, water-resistance and mechanical properties of pure and crosslinked chitosan membranes were characterized, respectively. The results of water contact angle and water absorption showed that the hydrophilicity of chitosan membranes could be significantly improved, while no significant difference of weight loss between pure chitosan membranes and crosslinked ones was detected, indicating that composite membranes with amidation crosslinking possess excellent water resistanance ability. Moreover, the tensile strength of chitosan membranes could be significantly enhanced with the addition of certain amount of HOOC-PEG-COOH crosslinker, while the elongation at break didn＇t degrade at the same time. Additionally, the results of swelling behaviors in water at different pH suggested that the composite membranes were pH sensitive.     

Pervaporation performance of novel chitosan‐POSS hybrid membranes: Effects of POSS and operating conditions

Four types of polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS)–octaanion, octaammonium, octanitrophenyl, and octaaminophenyl–were incorporated into chitosan (CS) to fabricate inorganic–organic hybrid membranes. The hybrid membranes were employed for the pervaporation dehydration of ethanol aqueous solutions. The performance of the hybrid membranes was found to be influenced by the type and loading amount of POSS. In comparison with the neat CS membranes which showed a separation factor of 65.2 for 10 wt % water in the feed at 303 K, the hybrid membranes containing 5 wt % of octaanion and octaaminophenyl POSS showed high separation factors of 305.6 and 373.3, respectively. The effects of the operating conditions such as the feed composition and temperature on the pervaporation performance of the membranes were investigated. Activation energies for permeation in the membranes were estimated from Arrhenius relationship. The activation energies for ethanol permeation in the hybrid membranes were much higher than that in the CS membrane, which may account for the large enhancements in the selectivity of the hybrid membranes. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
