Abstract

Polyimide which is the glassy polymer has high chemical resistance, thermal stability and high mechanical property. In this study, the polyimide hollow fiber membranes were prepared by the dry-jet wet phase inversion in order to investigate the permeation porperties of the $H_2S$ and $CH_4$. The morphology of prepared hollow fiber membranes and their permeation behaviors of $H_2S$ and $CH_4$ before and after silicon coating were evaluated. The permeance of $H_2S$ and $H_2S/CH_4$ selectivity increased due to plasticization with increasing the feed pressure. The permeance of KSM03b and selectivity of KSM03d were highest among the three type membranes used this experiments. The permeance decreased but the $H_2S/CH_4$ selectivity increased with increasing the air gap. The permeance reduced after silicon coating. However, the selectivity increased and the selectivity of KSM03d was 275 at 7 atm.

폴리이미드는 유리상 고분자로서 높은 화학적 저항성과 열적 안정성을 지니고 있으며, 기계적 물성이 거의 변하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 황화수소와 메탄의 투과특성을 알아보기 위하여 폴리이미드 중공사막을 건/습식 상전이 공정에 의하여 제조하였고, 제조된 중공사막의 구조 및 실리콘 코팅 전/후의 황화수소와 메탄의 투과특성에 대하여 알아보았다. 압력이 증가함에 따라 황화수소의 투과도는 가소화 현상으로 인해 증가하였고, 황화수소와 메탄의 선택도 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험에 사용된 세 종류의 막 가운데 KSM03b의 투과도와 KSM03d의 선택도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. air gap이 증가 할수록 투과도는 감소하지만 선택도는 증가하였다. 또한 실리콘 코팅 후 투과도는 감소하였지만, 선택도는 증가하였고 7기압에서 KSM03d의 선택도는 275이었다.
