Summary: An innovative technique involving the introduction of a third component with a positive affinity with CO2 into a binary mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) has been developed to efficiently remove CO2. Ternary MMMs, synthesized by embedding 1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([HMIM][NTf2]) ionic liquid (IL) and aluminum oxide (gamma-Al2O3) nanoparticles into the poly (ether-block-amide) (Pebax-1657) matrix, show enhanced CO2 separation performances compared to the unloaded polymeric membrane. The optimized MMM achieved high CO2 permeability and selectivity, making it a promising choice for separating CO2 from light gases.

Summary: In this study, Ultem and NaX zeolite were used to fabricate mixed matrix membranes for CO2 separation. The optimized MMM exhibited a CO2/N-2 selectivity of 34 and a 45% increase in CO2 permeability compared to the pristine membrane. These improvements were attributed to the surface diffusion mechanism of zeolite X and the reversible reaction between Ni2+ ions and CO2 molecules.
