摘要/Abstract

摘要： The high price and toxicity of ionic liquids (ILs) have limited the design and application of supported ionic liquid membranes (SILMs) for CO₂ separation in both academic and industrial fields. In this work,[Choline] [Pro]/polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG200) mixtures were selected to prepare novel SILMs because of their green and costeffective characterization, and the CO₂/N₂ separation with the prepared SILMs was investigated experimentally at temperatures from 308.15 to 343.15 K. The temperature effect on the permeability, solubility and diffusivity of CO₂ was modeled with the Arrhenius equation. A competitive performance of the prepared SILMs was observed with high CO₂ permeability ranged in 343.3-1798.6 barrer and high CO₂/N₂ selectivity from 7.9 to 34.8. It was also found that the CO₂ permeability increased 3 times by decreasing the viscosity of liquids from 370 to 38 mPa·s. In addition, the inherent mechanism behind the significant permeability enhancement was revealed based on the diffusion-reaction theory, i.e. with the addition of PEG200, the overall resistance was substantially decreased and the SILMs process was switched from diffusion-control to reaction-control.
