PEBAX[poly(ether-block-amide)에 ZIF-8(zeolitic imidazolate framework)의 함량을 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 20 wt%으로 하여 PEBAX-ZIF 복합막을 제조하였다. 기체투과 실험은 압력 6 kgf/cm2 하에서 25, 35, 40°C로 온도를 달리하여 진행되었고,PEBAX-ZIF 복합막의 ZIF-8 함량 변화에 따른 C3H6과 C3H8의 기체투과도와 선택도(C3H6/C3H8)를 조사하였다. C3H6과 C3H8의 투과기체에 대해 ZIF-8 함량 0∼7 wt% 범위에서는 함량이 증가할수록 기체 투과도가 증가하다가 7∼20 wt% 범위에서 함량이 증가하면 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 선택도(C3H6/C3H8)는 PEBAX-ZIF 7 wt% 복합막에서 3.6∼3.8의 값을 가지며, 가장 낮은 활성화에너지 값을 나타냈다.
PEBAX[poly(ether-block-amide)-ZIF-8(zeolitic imidazolate framework) composite membranes were prepared with different amounts of ZIF-8; 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, and 20 wt%. Gas permeation experiment were performed by varying the temperature of 25, 35, 40°C under condition 6 kgf/cm2. Gas permeability of C3H6, C3H8 and selectivity (C3H6/C3H8) were investigated by increasing the amount of ZIF-8 in the PEBAX. The gas permeability of C3H6 and C3H8 increased as ZIF-8 content increased among 0 to 7 wt% range and decreased among 7 to 20 wt% range. When the ZIF contents of PEBAX-ZIF composite membrane were 7 wt%, the selectivity (C3H6/C3H8) was taken between 3.6 and 3.8 value and also had the lowest activation energy.
