Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes show great potential in the separation of acetylene mixtures. In this work, we have prepared ZIF-8 membranes on polyamide (PA) substrates for the highly selective separation of acetylene/methane and acetylene/carbon dioxide mixtures. The CH/CH and CH/CO mixtures can be successfully separated using the ZIF-8 membranes, with separation factors of 12.1 and 1.8, respectively. Based on the results of the cross-permeation tests of CH/CH, CO/CH, and CH/CO, the separation mechanism of CH/CH in our ZIF-8 membrane can be attributed to a higher affinity for acetylene and molecular sieving effect, while CH/CO separation is related to thermodynamic factors. It is worth noting that this is the first example of MOF membranes to successfully separate CH from CH and CO.
金属有机框架(MOF)膜在乙炔混合物的分离方面显示出巨大潜力。在这项工作中,我们在聚酰胺(PA)基底上制备了ZIF-8膜,用于高效选择性分离乙炔/甲烷和乙炔/二氧化碳混合物。使用ZIF-8膜可以成功分离CH/CH和CH/CO混合物,分离因子分别为12.1和1.8。基于CH/CH、CO/CH和CH/CO的交叉渗透测试结果,我们的ZIF-8膜中CH/CH的分离机制可归因于对乙炔的更高亲和力和分子筛效应,而CH/CO分离则与热力学因素有关。值得注意的是,这是MOF膜首次成功从CH和CO中分离出CH的实例。
