Abstract

The PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes were prepared by adding 1~40 wt% NaYzeolite to PDMS. In order to investigate the characteristics of these membranes, we used the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, and SEM. The permselectivity of $H_2$ and $N_2$ gases through the composite membranes was studied as a function of NaYzeolite contents. The permeability and selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of PDMS membrane increased as the gas permeation pressure increased. The permeability of the PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes increased when 1~10 wt% NaYzeolite was added, and then decreased at higher wt% as NaYzeolite content increased. The selectivity ($H_2/_2$) of PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes decreased when 1~2 wt% NaYzeolite was added, and then increased as NaYzeolite content increased. As the $H_2$ permeability increased, the selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of PDMS-NaYzeolite composite membranes decreased at 0~2 wt% and 10~40 wt% NaYzeolite contents, increased at 2~10 wt% NaYzeolite content.

소수성 고무상 고분자 PDMS에 NaYzeolite 함량을 1~40 wt%로 달리하여 PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막을 제조하였다. 그리고 FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, SEM에 의해서 막의 특성을 조사하였다. 복합막의 NaYzeolite 함량 변화에 따라 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도와 선택도를 조사하였다. PDMS 단일막은 기체투과 압력이 증가하면 $H_2$와 $N_2$의 투과도와 선택도($H_2/N_2$)가 증가하였다. PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막의 $H_2$와 $N_2$ 투과도는 NaYzeolite 함량 0~10 wt%까지는 증가하고 그 이후부터는 감소하였고, 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 0~2 wt%까지는 감소하고 그 이상에서는 증가하였다. PDMS-NaYzeolite 복합막은 $H_2$ 투과도가 증가하면 선택도($H_2/N_2$)는 0~2 wt%와 10~40 wt% NaYzeolite 함량 범위에서는 감소하고, 2~10 wt% NaYzeolite 함량 범위에서는 증가하였다.
