Abstract
In recent years, polyphosphazene (POP) membranes have been gaining more and more attention owing to their excellent pervaporation desulfurization performance. To develop new POP membranes, three kinds of POPs with different side groups, Poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] (PTFEP), Poly[bis(trifluorobutoxy)phosphazene] (PTFBP), and Poly[bis(octafluoropentyloxy)phosphazene] (POFPP), were synthesized. The NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that POPs with a designed structure were successfully prepared. Subsequently, the composite membranes based on these POPs were fabricated by solution casting. The influence of side groups on the desulfurization performance of membranes was systematically evaluated via a pervaporation test. Among these membranes, the PTFBP membrane exhibited the highest separation efficiency, significantly outperforming other membrane types with a permeation flux of 0.284 kg·m-2·h-1 at 200 ppm and 85 °C, along with a sulfur enrichment factor of 26.48. In addition, the effects of temperature and feed concentration on separation performance were investigated in detail.
期刊介绍:
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
