PTMSP-PEI와 PDMS-PEI 복합막에 의한 수소/질소 혼합기체 분리

Polymer membranes such as poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)-polyetherimide (PTMSP-PEI) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)- polyetherimide (PDMS-PEI) composite membrane were prepared by solution casting method. To investigate the characteristics of these membranes, the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H-NMR,$ DSC, TGA, GPC, and SEM have been utilized. The number-average (equation omitted) and weight-average (equation omitted) molecular weight of PTMSP were 477,920 and 673,329 respectively. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of PTMSP was $224^{\circ}C.$ The separation of the gas mixture ($H_2/N_2$) through the composite membranes were studied as a function of pressure. The separation factor (${\alpha}, {\beta},$ quation omitted) of the composite membranes used in this work increased as the pressure of permeation cell increased. The real separation factor (${\alpha}$), head separation factor (${\beta}$), and tail separation factor (equation omitted) of PTMSP-PEI composite membrane were 2.28, 1.17, and 1.96 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C.$ (${\alpha}, {\beta}$ and equation omitted of PDMS-PEI composite membrane were 3.70, 1.53, and 2.42 respectively at ${\Delta}P$ 30psi and $25^{\circ}C$.

PTMSP-PEI와 PDMS-PEI 복합막을 제조하고, 막의 특성을 FT-IR, $^1H-NMR,$ DSC, TGA, GPC, SEM을 사용하여 조사하였다. 제조된 PTMSP의 수평균분자량 (equation omitted)은 477,920 이었고, 중량평균분자량 (equation omitted)은 673,329이었고, 유리전이온도 ($T_g$)는 $224^{\circ}C$이었다. 제조된 고분자 복합막들에 의한 $H_2/N_2$ 혼합기체분리는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 압력의 변화에 따라 조사되었다. PTMSP-PEI와 PDMS-PEI 복합막들의 수소에 대한 분리인자 (${\alpha}, {\beta},$ equation omitted)값은 투과셀의 압력이 증가하면 증가하였다. PTMSP-PEI 복합막의 수소에 대한 (${\alpha}, {\beta},$ equation omitted 값은 ${\Delta}P$ 30psi 와 $25^{\circ}C$에서 2.28, 1.17, 1.96이었고, PDMS-PEI 복합막의 (${\alpha}, {\beta}$ equation omitted 값은 3.70, 1.53, 2.42 이었다.
