In this study, the relationship between gas separation performance, multiple membrane structure, and gas characteristic factors of carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membrane was analyzed using machine learning techniques. A quantitative index based on Robeson's upper bound line was proposed to measure the gas separation performance of CMS membrane. The key factors affecting the gas permeability and separation performance of CMS membrane were identified.
Gas separation performance of the carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membrane is influenced by multiple factors including the microstructural characteristics of carbon and gas properties. In this work, the support vector regression (SVR) method as a machine learning technique was applied to the correlation between the gas separation performance, the multiple membrane structure, and gas characteristic factors of the self-manufactured CMS membrane. A simple quantitative index based on the Robeson's upper bound line, which indicated the gas permeability and selectivity simultaneously, was proposed to measure the gas separation performance of CMS membrane. Based on the calculation results, the inferred key factors affecting the gas permeability of CMS membrane were the fractional free volume (FFV) of the precursor, the average interlayer spacing of graphite-like carbon sheet, and the final carbonization temperature. Moreover, the most influential factors for the gas separation performance were supposed to be the two structural factors of precursor influencing the porosity of CMS membrane, the carbon residue and the FFV, and the ratio of the gas kinetic diameters. The results would be helpful to the structural optimization and the separation performance improvement of CMS membrane.
