Gas separation using membrane processes are potentially economical in industrial scale. Two parameters are used for analyzing the membrane separation performance: permeability and selectivity. There is a trade off between them for polymeric membranes that makes it impossible to increase both of them simultaneously. Molecular sieve membranes, on the other hand, exhibit high permeability and selectivity but are brittle in nature and costly. A new generation of membranes has made many hopes to use simultaneously both desired properties of polymers and molecular sieves in a structure called “mixed matrix membrane (MMM)” where a molecular sieve is incorporated within a polymer matrix. As other branches of science and engineering, having a tool to predict MMMs performance seems to be essential to save time and money for research and industrial applications. Many mathematical models were developed to predict MMMs performance based on separation performance of fillers and polymers. Maxwell model is the simplest model developed for prediction of electrical properties of composite materials but it is not perfect for all cases. Some modifications were performed on Maxwell model and some other modified models were developed for better prediction of MMMs separation performance. In this research, modified Maxwell and Bruggeman models were employed to predict gas separation performance of some MMMs in the current work and the results were acceptable for all non–ideal cases which might be occurred in MMMs structure.

<div><b>Abstract</b><br></div><div>In this paper, we report a simple approach to study the fundamental aspect of light-responsive metal organic framework (MOF) in UiO-66 topology through a mixed-ligand approach. Apart from change in the structural property, the loading of azobenzene linker inside the framework also affects the CO<sub>2</sub> light-responsive property and CO<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> selectivity which could help to design future low-energy CO<sub>2</sub> adsorbents. Further study to incorporate the MOFs into mixed matrix membranes also indicates the benefit of higher azobenzene loading in the MOF to enhance the CO2/N2 separation performance since it can improve the separation performance which could not be obtained in non-functionalized fillers.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Data Repository</b></div><div>Research data and additional high-resolution images are available from the open repository: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2533852</div>

As an economical, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient separation technology, membrane separation is a popular research topic in the field of separation. Organic polymer materials have attracted considerable attention in membrane separation because of their controllable preparation processes, simple modification method, and high toughness. Taking polysulfone (PSF) as the substrate of gas separation membrane, we prepared the mixed matrix membrane jointly by using the solution casting method and by adding graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). On this basis, the permeability of the membrane for CO2 and N2 and the permeability coefficient of the mixed gas were studied. With the addition of CNTs and GO, the permeability of gas was significantly improved. At 0.2 MPa, permeability of CO2 increased from 553 Barrer to 975 Barrer, and permeability of N2 increased from 536 Barrer to 745 Barrer. The max ideal separation coefficient of CO2 and N2 is 1.94 at 0.1 MPa. Increasing of the content of carbon nanotubes can significantly improve the permeability coefficient of CO2, while the change of inlet side pressure has a great impact on the permeability coefficient of N2. At 0.1 MPa, when the ratio of CNTs to GO was 5 : 1, the ideal permeability coefficient of CO2/N2 was 1.94, whereas the ideal permeability coefficient of PSF membrane was 1.46. The above results of PSF/GO/CNT mixed matrix membrane lay a theoretical foundation for industrial application.
