Novel nanocomposite pervaporation membranes composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan-wrapped carbon nanotube

Novel nanocomposite membranes (PVA–CNT(CS)) were prepared by incorporating chitosan-wrapped multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). To further explore the intrinsic correlation between pervaporation performance and free volume characteristics, molecular dynamics simulation was first introduced to qualitatively analyze the contribution of carbon nanotube incorporation on improving free volume characteristics of the nanocomposite membranes. Secondly, the pervaporation performance of PVA–CNT(CS) nanocomposite membranes was investigated using permeation flux and separation factor as evaluating parameters. For benzene/cyclohexane (50/50, w/w) mixtures at 323 K, permeation flux and separation factor of pure PVA membrane are only 20.3 g/(m² h) and 9.6, respectively, while the corresponding values of PVA–CNT(CS) (CNT content: 1%) nanocomposite membrane are 65.9 g/(m² h) and 53.4. In order to explain the simultaneous increase of permeation flux and separation factor, as well as to check the calculation reliability of molecular dynamics simulation, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) analysis was employed.     

Dehydration of aqueous acetonitrile solution by pervaporation using PVA–iron oxide nanocomposite membrane

Pervaporative performances were investigated for dehydration of water–acetonitrile using nanocomposite metal oxide and Pervap^® 2202 membranes. Poly (vinyl alcohol) based nanocomposite metal oxide membranes were prepared through co-precipitation of different amounts of Fe (II) and Fe (III). The freestanding nanocomposite metal oxide membranes were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Sorption studies evaluated the extent of interaction and degree of swelling of the membranes. Fe containing PVA polymer matrix showed improved flux and selectivity. In order to observe simultaneous effect of flux and selectivity, pervaporation separation index showed 10 wt.% iron oxide containing membrane is the most amongst all tested. The diffusion coefficients were calculated using pervaporation results and sorption kinetics data. An attempt was made to predict sorption selectivity thermodynamically. PV separation factor was observed to be governed by sorption and/or diffusion phenomena and sorption selectivity was found to be higher than PV separation factor. Prediction of concentration profile in the membrane was also attempted and the results showed that water concentration in the membrane drops down with increase in membrane thickness.     

Pervaporation separation of water + isopropanol mixtures using novel nanocomposite membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) and polyaniline

Novel nanocomposite polymeric membranes containing nanosized (30–100 nm) polyaniline (PANI) particles dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared and used in the pervaporation separation of water–isopropanol feed mixtures ranging from 10 to 50 mass% of water at 30 °C. Of the three nanocomposite membranes prepared, the membrane containing 40:60 surface atomic concentration ratio of PANI:PVA produced the highest selectivity of 564 compared to a value of 77 observed for the plain PVA membrane. Flux of the nanocomposite membranes was lower than those observed for the plain PVA membrane, but selectivity improved considerably. Membranes were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The highest selectivity with the lowest flux was observed for 10 mass% water containing feed mixture. Flux increased with increasing amount of water in the feed, but selectivity decreased considerably. These results were attributed to the acid-doped PANI particles in the PVA membrane as a result of change in the micromorphology of the nanocomposite membranes. In addition, molar mass between cross-links and fractional free volume of the membranes are responsible for the varying membrane performance. Temperature effect on permeability was investigated for 10 mass% water containing feed with the membrane containing higher concentration of PANI particles, the presence of which could be responsible for varied effect of water permeation through the membrane. Membranes of this study could remove as much as 98% of water from the feed.

Chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/amino functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube pervaporation membranes: Synthesis,characterization, and performance

In the present study, novel biodegradable nanocomposite membranes were prepared by adding the amino functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (NH₂‐MWCNT) to the chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol blend polymers, and the obtained membranes were used for dehydration of isopropyl alcohol through pervaporation process. For this purpose, the membranes were prepared with chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol ratio of 4:1 on the basis of “solution casting” method and then crosslinked using glutaraldehyde, after addition of different amounts of NH₂‐MWCNT. The prepared membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, mechanical strength, degree of swelling (DS), and biodegradability. Also, the ability of the prepared membranes in dehydration of isopropyl alcohol was determined using pervaporation experiments. Results indicated that contact angle, mechanical resistance, separation factor (α), and pervaporation separation index were increased with the addition of NH₂‐MWCNT up to 10 wt% (relative to the total amount of polymer) and then decreased in the higher presence of nanotubes (15 wt%). Furthermore, the DS and permeate flux were first decreased and then increased for the same mentioned amounts of additive. In this study, optimized membrane was obtained by the addition of 10 wt% NH₂‐MWCNT. This membrane showed the maximum α (99.5), pervaporation separation index parameter (78.29 kg m⁻² h⁻¹), biodegradability, and mechanical stability as well as minimum DS.     

Dehydration of acetic acid by pervaporation using SPEK-C/PVA blend membranes

Sulfonated cardo polyetherketone (SPEK-C) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend membranes were prepared by solution casting method and used in pervaporation (PV) dehydration of acetic acid. The membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle meter. The results show that thermal crosslinking occurred to the membrane under high temperature annealing. The effective d-spacing (inter-segmental spacing) decreased with PVA content decreasing. The hydrophilicity of the blend membrane increased with SPEK-C content increasing. Swelling and sorption experiments show that the swelling degree of the blend membrane increased, however both the sorption and diffusion selectivities decreased with increasing PVA content. The diffusion selectivity is higher than the sorption selectivity. This suggests that PV dehydration of acetic acid is dominated by the diffusion process. The pervaporation separation index (PSI) of the membrane increases with increasing PVA content and arrives at a maximum when the SPEK-C/PVA ratio is 3/2, then decreases with further addition of PVA. The membrane has an encouraging separation performance with a flux of 492 g m⁻² h⁻¹ and separation factor of 59.3 at 50 °C at the feed water content 10 wt%.     

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyelectrolyte complex blend membrane for pervaporation dehydration of isopropanol

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was blended with soluble polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa). Crystallinity, thermal transition, and thermal stability of the PVA/PEC blends were characterized by using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermal gravity analysis (TGA), respectively. Surface morphology, cross-section and phase structure of the blend membranes were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surface hydrophilicity and swelling behavior of the blend membranes were examined by water contact angle (CA) and swelling tests. Blend membranes were subjected to isopropanol dehydration, and effects of blend composition, feed composition and feed temperature on pervaporation performance are discussed in terms of phase structures of blend membranes. A performance of J = 1.35 kg/m² h, α = 1002, was obtained for blend membrane containing 50 wt% PEC in dehydrating 10 wt% water–isopropanol at 70 °C.     

Pervaporation dehydration of ethylene glycol with chitosan–poly(vinyl alcohol) blend membranes: Effect of CS–PVA blending ratios

Chitosan–poly(vinyl alcohol), CS–PVA, blended membranes were prepared by solution casting of varying proportions of CS and PVA. The blend membranes were then crosslinked interfacially with trimesoyl chloride (TMC)/hexane. The physiochemical properties of the blend membranes were determined using Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile test and contact angle measurements. Results from ATR-FTIR show that TMC has crosslinked the blend membranes successfully, and results of XRD and DSC show a corresponding decrease in crystallinity and increase in melting point, respectively. The crosslinked CS–PVA blend membranes also show improved mechanical strength but lower flexibility in tensile testing as compared to uncrosslinked membranes. Contact angle results show that crosslinking has decreased the surface hydrophilicity of the blend membranes. The blend membrane properties, including contact angle, melting point and tensile strength, change with a variation in the blending ratio. They appear to reach a maximum when the CS content is at 75 wt%. In general, the crosslinked blend membranes show excellent stability during the pervaporation (PV) dehydration of ethylene glycol–water mixtures (10–90 wt% EG) at different temperatures (25–70 °C). At 70 °C, for 90 wt% EG in the feed mixture, the crosslinked blend membrane with 75 wt% CS shows the highest total flux of 0.46 kg/(m² h) and best selectivity of 986. The blending ratio of 75 wt% CS is recommended as the optimized ratio in the preparation of CS–PVA blend membranes for pervaporation dehydration of ethylene glycol.     

Pervaporation with chitosan membranes II. Blend membranes of chitosan and polyacrylic acid and comparison of homogeneous and composite membrane based on polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan and polyacrylic acid for the separation of ethanol-water mixtures

Three different types of blend membranes based on chitosan and polyacrylic acid were prepared from homogeneous polymer solution and their performance on the pervaporation separation of water-ethanol mixtures was investigated. It was found that all membranes are highly water-selective. The temperature dependence of membrane permselectivity for the feed solutions of higher water content (>30 wt%) was unusual in that both permeability and separation factor increased with increase in temperature. This phenomenon might be explained from the aspect of activation energy and suggested that the sorption contribution to activation energy of permeation should not always be ignored when strong interaction occurs in the pervaporation membrane system.A comparison of pervaporation performance between composite and homogeneous membranes was also studied. Typical pervaporation results at 30°C for a 95 wt% ethanol aqueous solution were: for the homogeneous membrane, permeation flux = 33 g/m² h, separation factor = 2216; and for the composite membrane, permeation flux = 132 g/m² h, separation factor = 1008. A transport model consisting of dense layer and porous substrate in series was developed to describe the effect of porous substrate on pervaporation performance.     

Poly (caprolactone)/poly (ethylene glycol) pervaporation blend membranes: Synthesis,characterization, and performance

Poly (caprolactone) membranes with addition of different poly (ethylene glycol) concentrations were prepared for separation of water/isopropanol azeotropic mixture by pervaporation process. Different characterization tests including Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle, and thermogravimetric analysis were carried out on the prepared membranes. In addition, the effect of poly (ethylene glycol) PEG content on the swelling degree and the performance of the prepared membranes in pervaporation process were investigated. According to the obtained results, all the membranes were water selective and the blend membrane containing 3 wt% PEG exhibited the best pervaporation performance with a water flux of 0.517 kg/m² hour and separation factor of 1642 at the ambient temperature. Hydrophilicity improvement of the blend membranes was confirmed by constant decrease in water contact angle of the membranes as PEG content increased in the casting solution. Scanning electron microscopy cross‐sectional images indicated that the blend membranes containing PEG had a closed cellular structure. Furthermore, mechanical and thermal properties of the membranes decreased by adding PEG.
