CO2 separation performance of poly(ether-b-amide6)/PTMEG blended membranes: Permeation and sorption properties
Poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMEG) is used to fabricate Pebax1657/PTMEG blended membranes for CO2 separation from H-2, N-2 and CH4. Permeation of the pure gases was measured at different operating temperatures from 25 to 55 degrees C and pressures from 4 to 16 bar. The solubility and diffusion coefficients of the tested gases were also measured at 4 bar. Permeation results showed an increment in the tested gases along with enhancement in CO2/H-2 permselectivity. However, CO2/N-2 and CO2/CH4 permselectivity did not improve. The membranes were characterized by SEM, DSC, FTIR and. tensile analysis and considerable changes in morphological, thermal and structural properties of the membranes were observed.
