Pebax 1657 Nanocomposite Membranes Incorporated with Nanoadsorbent Derived from Oil Palm Frond for CO₂/CH₄ Separation

Abstract:

Membrane technology has attracted significant attention from the researchers, especially in gas separation process due to their simple process design and low capital cost compared to conventional techniques. In this work, oil palm frond (OPF) waste was used as nanoadsorbent embodied in polyether block amide (Pebax 1657) nanocomposite membrane to improve the CO₂/CH₄ separation. The effectiveness of the nanoadsorbent derived from OPF was evaluated by varying the nanoadsorbent concentration (2–8 wt %) and controlling the Pebax 1657 concentration (5 wt %), dipping time (5 s), and number of sequential coatings (3 layers). The pore characteristics of the nanoadsorbent was analyzed using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The morphology and the existence of active groups in the newly synthesized nanoadsorbent and nanocomposite membranes were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The single gas permeation process was carried out at constant pressure (2 bar) and room temperature (25 ± 5 °C). The optimum condition with 5 wt % nanoadsorbent made the nanocomposite membrane exceeded the trade-off limit of the Robeson plot with a CO₂ permeability and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity of 1475.09 Barrer and 40.48, respectively.
