Abstract

For the separation of olefins/paraffins, $Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/AgBF_4/Al(NO_3)_3/Ag_2O$ composite membranes were prepared. When $Ag_2O$ was introduced, the initial selectivity and permeance of composite membranes were observed to be 13.7 and 21.7 GPU, respectively. The increase in performance compared to the initial performance of $PEO/AgBF_4/Al(NO_3)_3$ membrane (selectivity 13 and permeance 7.5 GPU) was thought to be due to the increase of Ag ion activity due to the addition of $Ag_2O$. However, performance degradation over time was observed, which was thought to be due to the polymer matrix PEO. Since the PEO polymer could not stabilize the $Ag_2O$ particles, the $Ag_2O$ particles becmae aggregated together as the solvent evaporates, and $Ag_2O$ acts as a barrier. As a result, the permeance decreases over time.

올레핀/파라핀 분리를 위해 $Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/AgBF_4/Al(NO_3)_3/Ag_2O$ 복합막이 제조되었으며, $Ag_2O$가 도입되었을 때, 복합체 분리막의 초기성능은 선택도 13.7과 투과도 21.7 GPU로 관찰되었다. $PEO/AgBF_4/Al(NO_3)_3$ 분리막의 성능(선택도 13와 투과도 7.5 GPU)에 비해서 초기성능이 증가한 이유는 $Ag_2O$의 첨가로 인한 Ag ion의 활성도 증가로 생각되었다. 하지만 시간에 따른 성능저하 현상이 관찰되었는데 이는 고분자 matrix인 PEO 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. PEO 고분자는 $Ag_2O$ 입자를 안정화 시킬 수 없기 때문에 용매가 증발하면서 $Ag_2O$ 입자끼리 뭉치게 되고, $Ag_2O$가 barrier 역할을 하게 돼서 시간이 지나면 투과도가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.
