Definitions
- the present invention relates to asymmetric membranes for nanofiltration, particularly nanofiltration of solutes dissolved in organic solvents.
- Membrane processes are well known in the art of separation science, and can be applied to a range of separations of species of varying molecular weights in liquid and gas phases (see for example "Membrane Technology and Applications” 2 nd Edition, R.W.Baker, John Wiley and Sons Ltd, ISBN 0-470-85445-6).
- Nanofiltration is a membrane process utilising membranes whose pores are generally in the range 0.5-5 nm, and which have molecular weight cut-offs in the region of 200-2000 Daltons.
- Molecular weight cut-off of a membrane is generally defined as the molecular weight of a molecule that would exhibit a rejection of 90% when subjected to nanofiltration by the membrane.
- Nanofiltration has been widely applied to filtration of aqueous fluids, but due to a lack of suitable solvent stable membranes has not been widely applied to the separation of solutes in organic solvents. This is despite the fact that organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) has many potential applications in manufacturing industry including solvent exchange, catalyst recovery and recycling, purifications, and concentrations.
- OSN organic solvent nanofiltration
- Polyimides have been used widely to form membranes used in separation processes, particularly gas separations, and also for separations of liquids.
- US 5,264,166 and US 6,180,008 describe processes for the production of integrally skinned asymmetric polyimide membranes which are claimed to be stable in solvents such as toluene, benzene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl iso butyl ketone (MIBK).
- solvents such as toluene, benzene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl iso butyl ketone (MIBK).
- MEK methyl ethyl ketone
- MIBK methyl iso butyl ketone
- the conditioning agent maintains membrane properties for nanofiltration of low molecular weight solutes from organic solvents, and allows the membrane to be processed, stored and handled in a dry state.
- These asymmetric membranes are claimed to have utility for the separation of low molecular weight organic materials with a molecular weight in the range 300-400 Daltons from solvents with molecular weight of around 100 Daltons.
- the application of these membranes to solvent recovery from lube oil filtrates are described in US Patent Nos 5,360,530; 5,494,566; 5,651,877, and in the open literature in "Solvent recovery from lube oil filtrates with a polyimide membrane" White L.S., Nitsch A.R., Journal of Membrane Science 179 (2000) pages 261 -21 A.
- polyimide membranes formed in this way from phase inversion are not stable in all solvents. In particular, they are not stable in solvents in which the polyimide forming the membrane is soluble. They tend to swell or even dissolve in such solvents.
- polyimides can become plasticized, thereby losing their desirable separation properties.
- Crosslinking of polyimides has been investigated as a means to overcome this problem in gas separation applications.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,717,393 presents photo-chemical methods for the cross-linking modification of particular polyimides containing benzophenone groups and hydrogen donor groups such as methyl groups.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,981,497 describes a process to modify polyimide membranes as used for the separation of gases with amino compounds including mono-, di-, tri- or polyamines.
- 4,931,182 discloses a class of polyimide membranes for gas separations containing copolymerizable, surface-modifiable units containing both aromatic diamines and alkenylated diamines having a vinyl or vinylaryl group preferably positioned ortho to an amine functionality.
- the polyimide units can be crosslinked by treatment with an activating force such as a high energy electromagnetic irradiation or with a free radical source to impart high selectivity to the membrane without causing a large decrease in composite permeance.
- US 6,660,062 discloses a method for crosslinking a dual layer hollow fibre, where one of the layers is a polyimide, by contacting the polyimide layer with a polyamine, using a process which comprises contacting the membrane with an alcoholic solution of an aliphatic-aromatic polyamine.
- US Patent Application Pub.No. 2004/0177753 Al discloses a process for treating a polyimide membrane using dendrimers or hyperbranched polymers, which may consist of multifunctional amines.
- International Publication WO 2006/009520 Al discloses a process for crosslinking a polyimide by exposing it to a cross linking agent comprising one or more amine groups.
- US 6,932,859 discloses the covalent crosslinking of polyimides present in hollow fibre membranes using colvalent ester crosslinks.
- the crosslinking of polyimide gas separation membranes has also been disclosed in the open literature, for example in; Liu et al. Journal of Membrane Science 189 (2001) 231-239 "Chemical cross-linking modification of polyimide membranes for gas separation”; Tin et al. Journal of Membrane Science 225 (2003) 77-90 "Effects of cross-linking modification on gas separation performance of Matrimid membranes”; Shao et al.

- membrane coupons with an active membrane area of 0.0014 m 2 were used. In all cases the membranes were immersed in the solvent of use for 24 h prior to testing.
- Dead end testing of the membranes was carried out in a SEPA ST (Osmonics, USA) dead-end nanofiltration cell.
- Crossflow experiments were carried out in a METcell cross flow system (Membrane Extraction Technology, UK).
- a feed solution consisting of a homologous series of styrene oligomers was used to obtain the MWCO curve during nanofiltration.
- the styrene oligomer mixture contained a mixture of 1 g of PS580 and PS1050 (purchased from Polymer Labs, UK) and 0.1 g of ⁇ - methylstyrene dimer (purchased from Sigma Aldrich, UK).
- the styrene oligomers were all fully soluble in the tested solvents at this concentration except in methanol where the concentration was halved. Analysis of the styrene oligomers was carried out using a Gilson HPLC system with a Gilson 118 UV/Vis detector.
- oligomers Separation of the oligomers was achieved using an ACE 5 -C 18-300 column (Advanced Chromatography Technologies, ACT, UK). A mobile phase of 35 vol% analytical grade water and 65 vol% tetrahydrofuran (AnalaR) was used with 0.1 vol% trifluoroacetic acid. The UV detector was set at a wavelength of 264 nm.
- Table 4 shows the effect of the polymer concentration on the performance of the crosslinked membranes.
- M4 18 90 18 420 a All membranes were insoluble in DMF.
- b MWCO determined in DMF using dead end filtration at 30 bar and interpolating to the MW corresponding to 90% rejection.
- Figure 3 shows the effect of crosslinking and thermal annealing on the flux and MWCO of M4. Toluene was used to compare between the different treatment conditions as both the non-crosslinked and crosslinked membranes were stable under these conditions. In both instances, the flux of the membranes was observed to decrease with crosslinking and thermal annealing. The MWCO of the crosslinked membranes was observed to increase slightly. Whilst crosslinking has the desired effect of rendering the resultant membrane insoluble in polar aprotic solvents, this has also resulted in some loss in solvent flux of the membranes. This may be due to a reduction in polymer chain flexibility via the introduction of covalent crosslinks.
- Figure 4 shows the flux and MWCO of the membranes in different organic solvents tested in a dead-end filtration cell.
- the membrane was also usable in solvents such as acetone, dichloromethane (DCM), DMF and 1 -ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) and gave good separation within the NF range of 200 - 1000 g mol "1 .
- Figure 5 shows the flux and MWCO of the crosslinked membranes in THF and DMF at 30 bar and 30 0 C. Continuous testing was carried out over 12O h with flux and rejection measurements taken intermittently. Stable separating properties were observed over the test period.
- Figure 6 shows the effect of operating temperature on the flux and the MWCO curve for the membranes formed in DMF as a solvent. Higher fluxes were achieved at elevated temperatures of up to 50 0 C and no change in the separation performance was observed under these conditions.
- Figure 7 shows the effect of treating the membrane with different diamines on the performance of the membranes.
- the membranes with different diamines tested there was little difference in terms of MWCO curves.
- treating membranes with EDA resulted in membranes with a higher flux than was obtained using the other crosslinkers.
- Membranes were formed as described in Example 5, using either HDA or ODA dissolved in methanol, except that the conditioning agent and conditioning agent solvent were varied.
- White light mineral oil, Aldrich UK CAS 8042-47-5 and PEG 600 were used as conditioning agents, dissolved in DMF, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
- MEK methyl ethyl ketone
- the MWCO curves and fluxes of the membranes were obtained as in Example 5, using DMF as a solvent. These showed that all the membranes had a MWCO in the range 250-350 g mol "1 , and fluxes between 40 and 60 L m "2 h "1 at 30 bar, with no discernable difference due to conditioning agent or conditioning agent solvent.
- a viscous solution consisting of 18 wt % Matrimid 5218 Polyimide (Huntsman Corporation, USA), 2 wt % maleic acid (MA), dissolved in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane and dimethylformamide (DMF) (approximately 3:1 by volume) was stirred continuously at 50 0 C overnight to obtain a homogeneous solution.
- the polymer solution was allowed to stand for a further 24 h at room temperature.
- Polymer films of 200 ⁇ m thickness were cast on a polyester backing material (Hollytex 3329) using an adjustable casting knife on an automatic film applicator. Solvent was allowed to evaporate from the surface of the film at controlled intervals of between 10 and 70 seconds before immersion into a precipitation water bath at room temperature.
- Membrane sheets were washed in water and immersed into a bath of isopropanol and EDA to provide an amine to imide ratio 20:1 mol equivalent for 24 hours. The membrane was then removed and washed thoroughly with methanol to remove residual diamine. Following this, the membrane was then immersed into a bath of DMF for 24 h to check for solvent stability before discs were used to test nanofiltration performance in DMF as described in Example 5.
- the resultant membranes were found to be stable in DMF and not to re-dissolve upon immersion into DMF.
- the membrane had a stable flux of 20 L m "2 h "1 .
- Figure 8 shows that the resulting membrane had a useful MWCO curve in the nanofiltration range when in contact with a DMF solution.
- Membranes were prepared as in Example 5 using Lenzing P84 polyimide.
- the dope solution was prepared containing 16wt% P84, Hollytex 3329 was used as the backing and the diamines were provided as a methanol solution in the amounts shown in Table 5.
- Octyldiamine (ODA) and p xylylenediamine (XDA) were used as cdiamines.
- the MWCO curves and flux were determined as described in Example 5, at 30 bar pressure and using toluene as the solvent in contact with the membrane. The results are shown in Table 5.
