ZIF-8/PDMS mixed matrix membranes for propane/nitrogen mixture separation: Experimental result and permeation model validation
Abstract(#br)In this contribution, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared for hydrocarbon recovery using propane/nitrogen mixture as a model feed gas pair. All MMMs obtained a homogeneous particle dispersion and intimate interface interaction, which were confirmed by high resolution scanning electric microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping.
