摘要：The commercial SAPO-34 zeolite with 0.38 nm pore size and ZIF-8 particles with 0.34 nm aperture size were separately dispersed into different polymer matrix, to prepare the mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation. The dispersed situation of the SAPO-34 and ZIF-8 particles in matrix and the influence of the fillers on the separation performance of the membrane had been investigated in this study. The as-synthesized MMMs showed a better trade-off between permeability and selectivity than the pure polymer membrane and the performance could exceed or close to the upper bound line of polymer membrane for CO2and CH4 separation. The CO2permeability and CO2/CH4ideal selectivity of the 6FDA-mDAT MMM containing 40 wt% SAPO-34 zeolite was 190 barrer and ca. 60, respectively. The 6FDA-TrMPD based MMMs containing 20 wt% ZIF-8 provided a permeability of C3H6and an ideal selectivity of C3H6/C3H8at 24 barrer and ca. 17, respectively. These separation performances were in a suitable agreement of the theoretical value from Maxwell model.
