CO2/CH4 separation using inside coated thin film composite hollow fiber membranes prepared by interfacial polymerization

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2016.07.010

Abstract

Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is greenhouse gas which originates primarily as a main combustion product of biogas and landfill gas. To separate this gas, an inside coated thin film composite (TFC) hollow fiber membrane was developed by inter facial polymerization between 1,3-cyclohexanebis-methylamine (CHMA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC). ATR-FTIR, SEM and AFM were used to characterize the active thin layer formed inside the PSf hollow fiber. The separation behavior of the CHMA-TMC/PSf membrane was scrutinized by studying various effects like feed gas pressure and temperature. Furthermore, the influence of CHMA concentration and TMC concentration on membrane morphology and performance were investigated. As a result, it was found that mutually the CHMA concentration and TMC concentration play key roles in determining membrane morphology and performance. Moreover, the CHMA-TMC/PSf composite membrane showed good CO₂/CH₄ separation performance. For CO₂/CH₄ mixture gas (30/70 by volume) test, the membrane (PD1 prepared by CHMA 1.0% and TMC 0.5%) showed a CO₂ permeance of 25 GPU and the best CO₂/CH₄ selectivity of 28 at stage cut of 0.1. The high CO₂/CH₄ separation performance of CHMA-TMC/PSf thin film composite membrane was mostly accredited to the thin film thickness and the properties of binary amino groups.
