Abstract

In this paper, we developed mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) consisting of SBS-g-POEM block-graft copolymer, ionic liquid (EMIMTFSI) and ZIF-8 nanoparticles to separate a $CO_2/N_2$ gas pair. The SBS-g-POEM is a rubbery block-graft copolymer synthesized through low-cost free-radical polymerization. The EMIMTFSI was dissolved into the SBS-g-POEM matrix and solution synthesized ZIF-8 nanoparticles were also dispersed into the copolymer matrix. The physico-chemical properties of manufactured membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), which showed that the components were compatible with each other. The gas separation performance was confirmed by time-lag measurements showing $CO_2$ permeability of 537.0 barrer and $CO_2/N_2$ selectivity of 15.2. The result represents the EMIMTFSI and ZIF-8 nanoparticles improves the gas permeability more than two-times, without significantly sacrificing the $CO_2/N_2$ selectivity.

본 논문에서는 SBS-g-POEM 블록-그래프트 공중합체, 이온성 액체(EMIMTFSI) 및 ZIF-8 나노 입자를 사용하여 $CO_2/N_2$ 기체를 분리하기 위한 혼합 매질 분리막(MMMs)을 개발하였다. SBS-g-POEM은 낮은 비용이 드는 자유 라디칼 중합법을 통해 합성된 유연한 블록-그래프트 공중합체이다. EMIMTFSI는 SBS-g-POEM 매트릭스에 용해시켰으며, 합성된 ZIF-8 나노 입자들 역시 공중합체의 매트릭스에 분산시켰다. 제조된 시료들의 특성은 푸리에 변환 적외 분광법(FT-IR), 시차 주사 열량계(DSC), 주사 전자 현미경(SEM), X선 회절 분석(XRD)을 통해 확인하였으며, 분석 결과 각 성분들은 서로 간의 좋은 혼화성을 나타내었다. 기체 분리 성능은 time-lag measurements를 통해 확인되었으며, 537.0 barrer의 $CO_2$ 투과도와 15.2의 $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도를 나타내었다. 이를 통해 첨가된 EMIMTFSI와 ZIF-8 나노 입자는 $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도를 크게 희생시키지 않고 기체 투과도를 두 배 이상 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었다.
