Abstract
Exploring organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes with improved permeability and selectivity is imperative to realize energy efficient separation in industry practice. Herein, we fabricated mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) based on Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) and a variety of porous polymer networks, including p-DCX, p-DCX-NH2, PAF-1 and PAF-1-NH2, via a simple drop-casting method. These hyper-crosslinked additives, which are compatible with the polymer matrix, were employed to create additional pathways for solvent transport, reduce defect cavities to enhance solute rejection, and inhibit the migration of polymer chains. The methanol permeance of MMMs increased by as much as 74 % and the retention of Rose Bengal (MW:1017 g‧mol−1) was improved from 95.2 % to 99.2 %. In contrast to the pure PTMSP membrane, the MMMs displayed superior performance and OSN stability during 100 h of continuous operation (methanol permeation loss rate decreased from 35.6 % to 11.3 %). This study provides insight for the benefits of additives with porous polymer networks for OSN membranes, and is favor for the wide application of these exciting membrane materials.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
