Nafion/TiO2 nanoparticle decorated thin film composite hollow fiber membrane for efficient removal of SO2 gas
To remove SO2 from flue gas, a thin film nanocomposite (TFN) hollow fiber membrane was decorated with Nafion/TiO2 nanoparticles. Morphological and structural analyses of the TFN membranes were performed using FTIR, SEM, EDX, TEM, and AFM. The gas permeation experiments were performed with pure gases and a mixed gas within a pressure range of 1-3 bar and feed gas flow rate of 0.03-0.15 L/min. The obtained experimental results suggest that the addition of Nf/TiO2 nanoparticles improved the membrane performance by introducing sulfonate and hydroxyl functional groups to the membrane, and thus increased SO2 permeability and selectivity. The SO2 permeability was found to be 411-1671 GPU, while the ideal selectivities achieved for SO2/N2 and SO2/CO2 were 2928 and 72, respectively. Overall, an SO2 removal efficiency of 93% was achieved by using the Nf/TiO2 incorporated TFN membrane.
