Abstract
This study reports the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of Matrimid®/LaNi5 mixed matrix membranes for selective hydrogen separation from industrial waste gas streams. Through a combination of experimental investigation and modelling, hydrogen absorption in LaNi5 intermetallic compounds and its impact on separation performance were explored. It was observed that the composite membranes exhibit significant enhancement in hydrogen permeation compared to pristine Matrimid® membranes. The results showed that Matrimid®/LaNi5 membranes deliver 5 times higher H2 permeability (107 Barrer) and higher selectivity (H2/CO2: 14.5, H2/N2: 83.5, H2/CH4: 78.5 and H2/CO: 84.5). Furthermore, hydrogen permeation flux modelling in Matrimid®/LaNi5 elucidated the contribution of each transport mechanism with high regression coefficients (>0.92) and within ±15 % error. Moreover, the results demonstrate the capability of Matrimid®/LaNi5 membranes to surpass Robeson upper bound for H2/CO2 while it is almost reached for H2/N2 and H2/CH4 separations, highlighting the potential of these new membranes for industrial-scale applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Science is a publication that focuses on membrane systems and is aimed at academic and industrial chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and membranologists. It publishes original research and reviews on various aspects of membrane transport, membrane formation/structure, fouling, module/process design, and processes/applications. The journal primarily focuses on the structure, function, and performance of non-biological membranes but also includes papers that relate to biological membranes. The Journal of Membrane Science publishes Full Text Papers, State-of-the-Art Reviews, Letters to the Editor, and Perspectives.
