Membrane technology has attracted significant attention from the researchers, especially in gas separation process due to their simple process design and low capital cost compared to conventional techniques. In this work, oil palm frond (OPF) waste was used as nanoadsorbent embodied in polyether block amide (Pebax 1657) nanocomposite membrane to improve the CO2/CH4 separation. The effectiveness of the nanoadsorbent derived from OPF was evaluated by varying the nanoadsorbent concentration (2–8 wt %) and controlling the Pebax 1657 concentration (5 wt %), dipping time (5 s), and number of sequential coatings (3 layers). The pore characteristics of the nanoadsorbent was analyzed using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The morphology and the existence of active groups in the newly synthesized nanoadsorbent and nanocomposite membranes were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The single gas permeation process was carried out at constant pressure (2 bar) and room temperature (25 ± 5 °C). The optimum condition with 5 wt % nanoadsorbent made the nanocomposite membrane exceeded the trade-off limit of the Robeson plot with a CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity of 1475.09 Barrer and 40.48, respectively.

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.
