Abstract

In the present work, the potential of polyPOSS-imide membranes designed for the purification of H₂ from a coke gas (utilized in the steelmaking industry) is investigated. Aiming at upscaling the membrane fabrication, tubular single-channel and multi-channel membranes were prepared, using polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanostructures and 6FDA as reactive precursors. The gas separation performance has been investigated by means of single gas and quaternary (H₂, CH₄, CO₂, N₂) mixtures, the latter used to simulate the conditions expected at the membrane module inlet in the process of upgrading H₂ from a coke oven gas. Preliminary results obtained on tubular membranes showed that the fabricated membranes can achieve high H₂ permeance (>2000 GPU), displaying also suitable selectivity towards CO₂, N₂ and CH₄. The selectivity of these upscaled tubular membrane samples meets the performance of those previously obtained for the disc-shaped lab-scale membranes. These results revealed the promising potential in the upscaling of polyPOSS-imide membranes fabricated via interfacial polymerization on ceramic porous supports for H₂ upgrading.
