We demonstrated a novel mixed-matrix composite membrane (MMCM) based on acrylated polyurethane (APU) and UiO-66 nanoparticles to separate CO/N mixture. UiO-66 and functionalized UiO-66 including NH-UiO-66 and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-UiO-66 were loaded into APU/2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (APUH) matrix at variable concentrations between 3 and 30 wt %. APUH/GMA-UiO-66 MMCMs exhibited strong adhesion with a support layer of polyester/polysulfone, which was not deteriorated after immersion in water for a long time (20 days). Incorporation of UiO-66 and its functionalized forms increased simultaneously permeability and CO/N selectivity, which were indeed superior in comparison with those of MMCMs reported previously. GMA-UiO-66-filled MMCM displayed a CO permeance of 14.5 Barrer and a CO/N selectivity of 53 at a critical concentration (25 wt %). This attractive separation performance of APUH/UiO-66 offered an exciting platform for the development of composite membranes for sustainable CO separations.
我们展示了一种基于丙烯酰化聚氨酯(APU)和 UiO-66 纳米粒子的新型混合基质复合膜(MMCM),用于分离 CO/N 混合物。UiO-66 和功能化的 UiO-66(包括 NH-UiO-66 和甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(GMA)-UiO-66)以 3 到 30wt%之间的不同浓度负载到 APU/2-羟乙基甲基丙烯酸酯(APUH)基质中。APUH/GMA-UiO-66 MMCM 与聚酯/聚砜支撑层具有很强的附着力,在长时间(20 天)浸泡在水中后不会恶化。UiO-66 及其功能化形式的掺入同时提高了渗透性和 CO/N 选择性,与以前报道的 MMCM 相比,这确实具有优越性。在临界浓度(25wt%)下,GMA-UiO-66 填充的 MMCM 的 CO 渗透系数为 14.5 Barrer,CO/N 选择性为 53。APUH/UiO-66 的这种有吸引力的分离性能为可持续 CO 分离的复合膜的开发提供了一个令人兴奋的平台。
