Abstract

Polymeric gas separation membrane is the fastest growing field in membrane separation process. Polymeric gas separation membrane process is competitive compare to cryogenic process and pressure swing adsorption process. Aromatic polymer materials such as polysulfones, polypheneylene oxides, polycarbonates and polyimides have been used for gas separation. Recently, glassy polymer likes polyimide in aromatic polymers has been developed for achievement of high selectivity and permeability coefficients. The accurate understanding on a type and structure of polymer material is very important, because the factor that polymer material affect gas separation property. In the study, trend and the development direction on synthesis and permeation properties of polyimide is confirmed.

고분자 기체분리막은 막분리 공정에서도 가장 빠르게 발전하고 있는 분야이다. 고분자 기체 분리막 공정은 심냉법, 가압 기체 흡착법과 견주어 볼 때 경쟁력을 지니고 있다. 기체분리용 고분자 소재로는 폴리술폰, 폴리페닐렌옥사이드, 폴리카보네이트, 폴리이미드 등의 방향족 고분자들이 주로 사용되었다. 현재 이 중에서도 유리상 고분자인 폴리이미드의 경우 높은 투과도와 선택도를 달성하기 위해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 고분자 소재는 기체분리 성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 요인이기 때문에 기체분리용 고분자 소재와 구조에 대한 올바른 이해가 중요시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 폴리이미드 제조 및 기체투과 특성에 대한 동향 및 개발 방향에 대해 확인하였다.
