The Effect of Solution Casting Temperature and Ultrasound Treatment on PEBAX MH-1657/ZIF-8 Mixed Matrix Membranes Morphology and Performance.

ABSTRACT: Approximately two-thirds of anthropogenic emissions causing global warming are from carbon dioxide. Carbon capture is essential, with membranes proving to be a low cost and energy-efficient solution to alternative technologies. In particular, mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) can have higher permeability and selectivity than pure polymer membranes. The fabrication conditions affect the formation of defects within the membranes. In this work, MMMs were created using a PEBAX MH-1657 polymer and a ZIF-8 filler. The effect of casting plate temperature, varying from -5 °C to 50 °C, and the effect of ultrasound treatment time (80-400 min) and method (filler solution only, filler and polymer combined solution only and filler solution followed by combined solution) were investigated, aiming to reduce
