Abstract

In order to remove $CO_2$ from the DME plant process, we investigated the composite membrane with rubbery polymers as the separation layer and its separation performance of $CO_2$ and $H_2$. Hollow fiber membranes for supporting layer were prepared by solution spinning method. In case of using PDMS as a separation layer, the composite membranes showed the permeation rates of $CO_2$ were over 300 GPU and minimum $CO_2/H_2$ selectivitties were 4.3 and in case of using PEBAX as a separation layer, the composite membranes showed the permeation rates of $CO_2$ were over 120 GPU and minimum $CO_2/H_2$ selectivities were 5.

DME 제조공정에서 발생하는 혼합가스 중 $CO_2$를 제거하기 위해서 $H_2$ 투과도보다 $CO_2$투과도가 우수한 고무상 고분자를 분리소재로 선정하여 복합막을 제조하고 $CO_2/H_2$의 분리성능을 검증하여 보았다. 지지체 중공사막 소재로 PEI를 이용하여 지지체 중공사막을 제조하였으며, 제조된 지지체 중공사막의 기체투과도를 각 가스별로 측정하여 PDMS의 경우는 $CO_2$ 투과도 300 GPU 이상, $CO_2/H_2$의 선택도가 4.3 이상, PEBAX를 사용한 경우 $CO_2$ 투과도 120 GPU 이상 $CO_2/H_2$의 선택도가 5 이상인 복합 중공사를 제조하였다.
