Abstract

In previous studies, a poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/Ag nanoparicles (AgNPs)(precursor $AgBF_4$)/p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) composite membrane was prepared for olefin/paraffin separation and the performance of this composite membrane was maintained at a selectivity of 10 and a permeability of 15 GPU. However, since the price of $AgBF_4$ precursor is high, this study used $AgNO_3$ as a precursor of Ag nanoparticles which is competitive in terms of price. As a result, it was observed that the separation performance was not obtained because the existing $NO_3{^-}$ could surround AgNPs. In this study, we fabricated PEO, poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), and polyether block amide-1657 (PEBAX-1657) polymer composite membrane using electron acceptor 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) for separation performance even when $AgNO_3$ was used as a precursor of Ag nanoparticles. As a result, it was analyzed that the performance was not observed regardless of the influence of the polymer and the electron acceptor, indicating that the anion of the precursor plays a crucial role in the separation performance.

이전 연구에서 올레핀/파라핀 분리를 위해 poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/Ag nanoparicles (AgNPs)(전구체$AgBF_4$)/p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) 복합막이 제조되었으며, 이 복합체 분리막의 성능은 100시간까지 선택도 10과 투과도 15 GPU로 유지되는 것이 확인되었다. 하지만 전구체인 $AgBF_4$의 가격이 고가이기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 가격 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 $AgNO_3$를 Ag nanoparticles의 전구체로 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 이미 존재하고 있는 $NO_3{^-}$가 AgNPs를 감싸고 있기 때문에 분리 성능이 나오지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이번 연구에서는 $AgNO_3$를 Ag nanoparticles의 전구체로 사용하여도 높은 성능을 내기 위해 전자수용체 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)를 사용하여 PEO, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyether block amide-1657 (PEBAX-1657) 고분자 복합막을 제조한 결과, 고분자와 전자수용체의 영향과는 무관하게 분리성능을 내지 못하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 분리성능에 전구체의 음이온이 결정적 역할을 하는 것으로 분석되었다.
