In this paper, we describe polyimide-derived carbon molecular sieve (CMS) hollow fiber membranes with CO2/CH4 separation factors similar to 60 under a supercritical (1800 psia) natural gas feed comprising 50% CO2 and 500 ppm highly condensable C-7 hydrocarbons. Long-term tests extending for 200 h proved membrane stability. Temperatures ranging from -50 to 100 degrees C were also tested, and the membrane showed attractive performance under the diverse conditions studied. With attractive and stable separation performance, the CMS hollow fiber membranes studied in this work can potentially enable next generation CO2 removal processes for challenging natural gas feeds.

Introducing amphipathic copolymer into intermediate layer to fabricate ultra-thin Pebax composite membrane for efficient CO2 capture

Jiangying Liu, Yang Pan, Jingyi Xu, Zhenggang Wang, Haipeng Zhu, Gongping Liu, Jing Zhong, Wanqin Jin

Summary: To achieve high separation efficacy of carbon dioxide, Pebax-based membranes have attracted intensive interest. An amphipathic copolymer polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)-block-polyethylene oxide(PEO) was introduced into the intermediate layer to tune the interfacial adhesion, enabling fabrication of ultra-thin Pebax composite membrane. The strategy of using the amphipathic copolymer as an intermediate layer enhanced the composite membrane integrity and simplified the plasma pre-treatment, showing great potential in developing highly permeable membrane for efficient CO2 capture.

Mechanism of ethanol/water reverse separation through a functional graphene membrane: a molecular simulation investigation

Quan Liu, Xian Wang, Yanan Guo, Gongping Liu, Kai-Ge Zhou

Summary: Graphene-based membranes with tunable apertures and functional groups have shown potential in ethanol/water separation. Pristine graphene exhibits reverse-selective behavior due to preferential adsorption for ethanol. Ethanol-permselective process is initiated by ethanol-enriched and water-barren pores. In contrast, hydroxylated graphene membranes prefer water molecules due to molecular sieving and functional-group attraction. The study provides insights into the reverse-selective mechanism of porous graphene membranes and a new avenue for efficient biofuel production.

Eliminating lattice defects in metal-organic framework molecular-sieving membranes

Guozhen Liu, Yanan Guo, Cailing Chen, Yong Lu, Guining Chen, Gongping Liu, Yu Han, Wanqin Jin, Nanping Xu

Summary: A high-probability theoretical coordination strategy is proposed and demonstrated to eliminate lattice defects in metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes. This strategy increases the ratio of ligands to metal clusters, enabling the creation of high-connectivity MOF membranes with angstrom-sized lattice apertures. The resulting membranes exhibit high and stable separation performance for gases, water desalination, and an organic solvent azeotrope.

Pyrolysis temperature-regulated gas transport and aging properties in 6FDA-DAM polyimide-derived carbon molecular sieve membranes

Guozhen Liu, Renhao Li, Xi Chen, Long Cheng, Yu Liu, Gongping Liu, Wanqin Jin

Summary: Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes derived from 6FDA-DAM polyimide exhibit improved gas separation efficiency with increasing pyrolysis temperature, leading to densification of the pore structure and enhanced size-sieving effect. Membranes pyrolyzed at higher temperatures are more susceptible to physical aging, but pre-aging treatment can improve and stabilize gas separation performance beyond the upper limit of polymeric membranes. The gas permeation behavior of CMS membranes is dominated by diffusion, making tailoring of gas permeation and physical aging a viable approach to tune their gas transport properties.

Pore density effect on separations of water/ethanol and methanol/ethanol through graphene oxide membranes: A theoretical study

Quan Liu, Minggong Chen, Longlong Sun, Gongping Liu, Rong Xu

Summary: The study investigates the effect of pore density (PPI) on the separations of water/ethanol and methanol/ethanol mixtures through graphene oxide (GO) membranes. It is found that the fluxes of water and methanol linearly increase with PPI due to enhanced diffusivity and reduced permeation barrier. However, large PPIs sacrifice separation factors. The study provides a theoretical basis for designing high-performance GO membranes for ethanol dehydration and methanol recovery.

In situ carboxyl functionalization of hybrid organosilica reverse osmosis membranes for water desalination

Rong Xu, Shixin Cheng, Xu Cheng, Lv Qi, Jing Zhong, Gongping Liu, Meina Huang, Priyanka Wasnik, Qinglong Jiang

Summary: A new strategy is proposed to enhance the performance of hybrid organosilica membranes by in situ carboxyl functionalization. The introduced carboxyl functionalities result in a compact pore structure and improved water affinity, leading to an increased membrane permeability without compromising water/salt selectivity in reverse osmosis. The carboxyl functionalized organosilica membrane also demonstrates high durability during continuous reverse osmosis desalination, showing great potential for environmental and industrial applications as an efficient and robust molecular separation membrane.
