Effect of preparation parameters on performance of dense homogeneous polycarbonate gas separation membranes

2003-10-17
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of preparation parameters on the membrane permeation mechanism and separation performances of dense homogeneous poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) membranes. Blade-casting and drop-casting techniques are used for casting films from solutions with varying concentrations. Chloroform and methylene chloride are used to determine the effect of the properties of the casting solvent. Permeation measurements are done with Ar, N-2, O-2, CH4, CO2, and H, gases. The selectivity values of dense homogeneous membranes with a PC composition of 7% (w/v chloroform) are 1.7 for Ar/N-2, 1.1. for CH4/N-2, 18 for CO2/N-2, 26 for H-2/N-2, and 9.7 for O-2/N-2. These values with a PC composition of 15% (w/v methylene chloride) are 2.7, 1.3, 25, 44, and 13 for the same gases, respectively. In addition to the importance of the solvent type and composition, the casting type and thermal history also affects the performance of the membrane. Increasing the annealing period enhances the selectivity while decreasing the permeability for both casting solvents, yet this thermal history effect strongly depends on the solvent type because of solvent-polymer interactions.

Effect of Gas Permeation Temperature and Annealing Procedure on the Performance of Binary and Ternary Mixed Matrix Membranes of Polyethersulfone, SAPO-34, and 2-Hydroxy 5-Methyl Aniline
Oral, Edibe Eda; Yılmaz, Levent; Kalıpçılar, Halil (Wiley, 2014-09-05)
This study investigated the effect of annealing time and temperature on gas separation performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared from polyethersulfone (PES), SAPO-34, and 2-hydroxy 5-methyl aniline (HMA). A postannealing period at 120 degrees C for a week extensively increased the reproducibility and stability of MMMs, but for pure PES membranes no postannealing was necessary for stable and reproducible performance. The effect of operation temperature was also investigated. The permeabilities of...
Determining the Elastic Properties of Modified Polystyrenes by Sound Velocity Measurements
Oral, Imran; Guzel, Hatice; Ahmetli, Gulnare; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Wiley, 2011-09-15)
The effect of the binding of various polyfunctional groups to polystyrene's (PS's) aromatic ring on the elastic properties of the PS were investigated by an ultrasonic method. Various sets of samples were prepared by chemical modification of pure PSs having different molecular weights with SA, maleic anhydride, and phthalic anhydride. The ultrasonic wave velocities of modified PSs were measured with the pulse-echo method at room temperature by a computer-controlled analyzer and a digital oscilloscope. The v...
Effect of low-energy electron irradiation on (Bi, Pb)-2212 superconductors
Ogun, SE; Goktas, H; Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-22)
The effect of low-energy electron irradiation on the properties of the Bi-based superconductors is studied. Two sets of polycrystalline (Bi, Pb)-2212 samples were synthesized by heating the appropriate mixtures of powders at 840 degrees C for 100 h, then quenched or furnace cooled to room temperature. The samples were irradiated by low-energy (1-10 keV), pulsed (20 ns) electron beam up to a dose of 6.2 x 10(15) cm(-2). X- ray diffraction patterns, resistance-temperature behaviours, critical currents, and mi...
Effects of microcompounding process parameters on the properties of ABS/polyamide-6 blends based nanocomposites
Oezkoc, Gueralp; Bayram, Göknur; Quaedflieg, Martin (Wiley, 2008-03-05)
Melt intercalation method was applied to produce acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/polyamide-6 (ABS/ PA6) blends based organoclay nanocomposites using a conical twin-screw microcompounder. The blend was compatibilized using a maleated olefinic copolymer. The effects of microcompounding conditions such as screw speed, screw rotation-mode (co- or counter-), and material parameters such as blend composition and clay loading level on the morphology of the blends, dispersibility of nanoparticles, and mechanical pr...
Effect of fabrication and process parameters on the morphology and performance of a PAN-based zeolite-filled pervaporation membrane
Okumus, E; Gurkan, T; Yılmaz, Levent (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-15)
The aim of this study is to develop a novel pervaporation membrane for dehydration of azeotropic ethanol-water mixture and to investigate the effect of membrane preparation and process parameters on the membrane performance. Zeolites (3A, 4A and 13X) are added as fillers to the base polymer poly [acrylonitrile] (PAN). It is observed that the volatility of the casting solvent and the annealing temperature strongly affect the performance and morphology of the manufactured membranes. Scanning electron microgra...
