Abstract

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$) and $Al_2O_3$ as metal oxide for preparation of composite membrane were utilized for the $CO_2$ separation. When 13 nm $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles were incorporated into ionic liquid $BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$, the separation performance for composite membrane showed the selectivity ($CO_2/N_2$) of 30.5 and $CO_2$ permeance of 45.7 GPU. The enhanced separation performance was attributable to the increased $CO_2$ solubility by both oxide layer of $Al_2O_3$ and abundant free ions of ionic liquid. In particular, $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles acted as obstacles to nitrogen gas, resulting in the decrease of permeability of nitrogen gas. As a result, the carbon dioxide separation performance could be enhanced.

이산화탄소 분리를 위해 이온성 액체/금속 산화물 복합막이 제조되었으며, 이온성 액체로서 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$)와 금속산화물로서 $Al_2O_3$가 사용되었다. 13 nm의 $Al_2O_3$가 이온성 액체 $BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$에 도입되었을 때, 복합체 분리막의 성능은 $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도 30.5과 $CO_2$ 투과도 45.7 GPU로 관찰되었다. neat $BMIM^+BF_4{^-}$ 분리막의 성능($CO_2/N_2$ 선택도 5와 $CO_2$ 투과도 17 GPU)에 비해서 성능이 증가한 이유는 $Al_2O_3$의 옥사이드 층과 이온성 액체 내 자유로운 이온농도의 상승으로 인해 $CO_2$ 용해도가 상승한 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 $Al_2O_3$ 나노입자는 질소 기체에 대해서 장애물로서 작용함으로써 질소기체의 투과도가 감소하여 결과적으로 이산화탄소 분리 성능은 급격히 증가하였다.
