Defect-free asymmetric Polysulfone (PSF)-Cloisite 15A® nanocomposite membrane was fabricated with the intention to investigate the gas permeation behavior of the resulting material combination. Various weights of Cloisite 15A® organoclay were added into PSF matrices by solution intercalation method assisted by sonication dispersion. The gas permeation properties of the PSF-Cloisite 15A® nanocomposite membranes were evaluated by pure gases: nitrogen, methane, and carbon dioxide. The distribution of Cloisite 15A® particles in PSF matrices was analyzed by SEM. The gas flux of the PSF-Cloisite 15A® nanocomposite membranes declined as the Cloisite 15A® weight loading increased. The CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 pure gas selectivity of PSF nanocomposite with 0.5 wt. % of Cloisite 15A® loading exceeded that of neat PSF membrane. The decrease in flux followed by the increase in pure gas selectivity was related to the way in which the clay layers were dispersed in the PSF matrices. Considerable improvement in CO2 selectivity was attainable even by incorporating low amount of such layered structure nanoparticle which can be attractive in producing robust materials for CO2-removal membranes from CO2-containing gas streams such as post-combustion and natural gas streams.

The polycrystalline CHA-type zeolite layer with Si/Al = 18 was formed on the porous α-Al2O3 tube in this study, and the gas permeation properties were determined using single-component H2, CO2, N2, CH4, n-C4H10, and SF6 at 303–473 K. The membrane showed permeation behavior, wherein the permeance reduced with the molecular size, attributed to the effect of molecular sieving. The separation performances were also determined using the equimolar mixtures of N2–SF6, CO2–N2, and CO2–CH4. As a result, the N2/SF6 and CO2/CH4 selectivities were as high as 710 and 240, respectively. However, the CO2/N2 selectivity was only 25. These results propose that the high-silica CHA-type zeolite membrane is suitable for the separation of CO2 from CH4 by the effect of molecular sieving.
