Enhanced organophilic separations with mixed matrix membranes of polymers of intrinsic microporosity and graphene-like fillers
Abstract
Organophilic mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have been fabricated with the polymer of intrinsic microporosity PIM-1 and graphene oxide (GO) derivatives for the recovery of 1-butanol and ethanol from aqueous solutions via pervaporation (PV). Graphene oxide (GO) has been synthesized in solution through a modified Hummers’ method, functionalized with alkylamines, and further reduced. The use of two alkylamines with chains of different lengths, octylamine (OA) and octadecylamine (ODA) −8 and 18 carbons, respectively - has been evaluated and the functionalized GO materials have been used as fillers in MMMs. The membranes have been prepared by casting-solvent evaporation of PIM-1/GO derivative solutions at room temperature, and a range of characterization techniques have been used to interpret their structure and relate it to their separation performance. Electron microscopy has been carried out to determine the morphology of the membranes and the dispersion of the functionalized GO flakes in the polymer matrix. Moreover, the membranes have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and contact angle. Separation of alcohol from two binary mixtures composed of ethanol (EtOH)/water and butanol (BtOH)/water, containing 5 wt% of alcohol, have been performed. Under these conditions, the incorporation of graphene-like fillers at relatively low concentrations shows an increase in average separation factor for butanol (βBtOH/H2O) from 13.5 for pure PIM-1 membranes to, in some cases, more than double for the MMMs; with the addition of 0.1 wt% of reduced amine-functionalized GO βBtOH/H2O reaches 32.9 and 26.9 for the short-chain (OA) and the long-chain (ODA) alkylamines, respectively.
