摘要
支撑液体膜(包括含有离子液体的膜)可通过功能液体或液体混合物的特性对目标气体进行高选择性处理,同时还可通过液体而非固体进行气体渗透,从而获得高通量。支撑液体膜的一个缺点是其可承受的跨膜压力(TMP)有限。在毛细力的作用下,支撑体孔隙中的液体很容易在相对较小的 TMP 值下 "喷出"。在这里,我们对阳极氧化铝(AAO)膜进行了改性,使其具有大小均匀、直径为 6-8 纳米的圆柱形二氧化硅中孔,以改善吹出 TMP。这种改性将各种离子液体的可行 TMP 从 ∼4 bar 提高到 ∼20 bar 以上。此外,在 AAO 膜未修改的深度(即大于几微米),膜中的液体会从大孔中排出,从而减少膜中液体的有效厚度并增加渗透率。这种方法类似于不对称聚合膜,后者是商业膜工业的标准。这些发现为研究和使用支撑液体膜提供了机会,其 TMP 比以前可能的要高得多。
Supported liquid membranes (including those containing ionic liquids) offer the opportunity for high selectivity for a target gas imparted by the properties of the functional liquid or liquid mixture, along with high flux resulting from gas permeation through a liquid rather than a solid. One disadvantage of supported liquid membranes is limitations on the transmembrane pressure (TMP) they can sustain. Liquids held in the pores of the support by capillary forces are prone to “blow-out” at relatively modest TMP values. Here, we modify anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes with uniformly sized ∼6–8 nm diameter cylindrical silica mesopores to improve the blow-out TMP. This modification increases the feasible TMP for various ionic liquids from ∼4 bar to more than ∼20 bar. Additionally, the liquid in the membrane at depths where the AAO membrane has not been modified (i.e., greater than a few microns) is expelled from the large pores, reducing the effective thickness of the liquid in the membrane and increasing permeance. This approach is analogous to asymmetric polymeric membranes, which are the standard of the commercial membrane industry. These findings open up the opportunity for investigation and use of supported liquid membranes at much higher TMPs than has been previously possible.
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.
