(PVC / ABS) and Nanocomposite (CAU-10-H) Composite Membrane for Separation of C2H6 from CH4

Abstract

In the research, composite membrane derived from Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were prepared with 30wt.%. In next step, adding 0.125, 0.250, 0.50wt.% of nanocomposite (CAU-10-H) in Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was obtained. All of the polymeric and nanocomposite membranes were e fabricated by the solvent foundry method use a dimethylacetamide solvent. The performance of prepared membranes was calculated for methane and ethane at the feed pressure of 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 bar at a temperature of 35°C. Results showed that in most cases, increasing the percentage of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). the permeability of CH4 and C2H6 increased.
