Abstract

In this study, a CO2 separation membrane was prepared by blending polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and a water-absorbing agent. The effects of the blend composition and the addition of amine-based additives on the separation performance were examined. Membrane preparation by blending PVA and two types of water-absorbing agents promoted the permeation of CO2 and He, while selectivity of CO2 relative to He was slightly decreased. The addition of amine-based additives to the membrane improved the pressure resistance when pressurized from 0.1 to 0.7 MPa at 60 °C, and therefore also improved the separation performance. Changing the combination of PVA and the two types of water-absorbing agents during the preparation of the membrane materials led to a further enhancement of the separation performance. Thus, in this study, a CO2 separation membrane with a high separation performance and a pressure resistance of up to 0.7 MPa at 60 °C under humidification was prepared.
