By incorporating a low-density Schiff base network framework into a high-density poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix, asymmetric pervaporation mixed matrix membranes exhibit improved hydrophilicity, mechanical stability, and separation performance.
Asymmetric pervaporation mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were constructed by incorporating a low-density Schiff base network framework (SNW-1) into a relative high-density poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix. A large amount of SNW-1 nanoparticles enriched onto the membrane surface due to the buoyancy effect. Meanwhile, a small amount of SNW-1 nanoparticles still remained in PVA body due to the slow solvent evaporation. This asymmetric distribution in PVA body gives the membrane three larger advantages. Firstly, the surface enrichment of SNW-1, which contains many nitrogen-groups, enhances membrane's hydrophilicity and swelling resistance significantly. Secondly, the interfacial interactions could exit between SNW-1 and PVA matrix, thereby improving the membrane's mechanical stability and heat-resistance property. Thirdly, the SNW-1 nanoparticles with water-selective pore structures in PVA body or on membrane surfaces could all increase membrane separation performances. As a result, for 90 wt% ethanol aqueous, the prepared MMMs containing only 1.5 wt% SNW-1 owned a separation factor of 751 and a total flux of 254 g/m(2)h. Furthermore, the MMMs exhibited an excellent long-term operating stability. After running 120 h at 75 degrees C, the total flux and separation factor still remained at their initial values. The prepared MMMs show a potential for ethanol or other alcohols dehydration applications.
