Mixed matrix membranes (MMM) combine useful molecular sieving properties of inorganic fillers with the desirable mechanical and processing properties of polymers. The current trend in polymeric membranes is the incorporation of filler-like nanoparticles to improve the separation performance. Most MMM have shown higher gas permeabilities and improved gas selectivities compared to the corresponding pure polymer membranes. Carbon nanotubes based mixed matrix membrane was prepared by the solution casting method in which the functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWNTs) were embedded into the polyimide membrane and the resulting membranes were characterized. The effect of nominal MWNTs content between 0.5 and 1.0 wt% on the gas separation properties were looked into. The as-prepared membranes were characterized for their morphology using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The morphologies of the MMM also indicated that at 0.7 % loading of f-MWNTs, the structures of the MMM showed uniform finger-like structures which have facilitated the fast gas transport through the polymer matrix. It may also be concluded that addition of open ended and shortened MWNTs to the polymer matrix can improve its permeability by increasing diffusivity through the MWNTs smooth cavity.

Magnetophoretic dispersion of magnetic fillers has been proven to improve gas separation performances of mixed matrix membrane (MMM). However, the magnetic field induced is usually in a horizontal or vertical direction during membrane casting. Limited study has been conducted on the effects of rotational magnetic field direction towards dispersion of particles. Thus, this work focuses on the rearrangement of paramagnetic iron oxide-titanium dioxide (αFe2O3-TiO2) nanocomposite in poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPOdm) membrane via rotational magnetic field to investigate the dispersion of filler and effects towards its overall gas separation performance. The paramagnetic fillers were incorporated into polymer via dry phase inversion method at different weight loading. MMM with 3 wt% loading shows the best performance in terms of particle dispersion and gas separation performance. It shows the greatest relative particles count and least agglomerates via OLYMPUS™ Stream software with image taken by optical microscope. Relative to pristine membrane, it displays a permeability and selectivity increment of 312% and 71%. MMM with 3 wt% loading was refabricated in the presence of rotational magnetic field to enhance the dispersion of paramagnetic fillers. Results display an increment of selectivity by 8% and CO2 permeability by 46% relative to unmagnetised MMM of 3 wt% loading.

Membrane technology for gas separation applications are limited by a "trade-off" curve between permeability and selectivity. It show that permeability is high, selectivity obtained is low. This problem can be solved by preparation of Mixed-Matrix Membrane (MMMs) which can increase the value of permeability and selectivity. The MMMs with polysulfone polymers and zeolite fillers is more corresponding for gas separation. Addition of zeolite filler to polysulfone polymer in MMMs can improve the CO2 separation performance. In this review, mechanism of gas separation in MMMs was carried out in the application of CO2/CH4 gas separation. In addition, the effect of addition, size and pore of zeolite filler in MMMs for binary gas separation were also discussed in this review.
