This book was released on 2018 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membrane-based filtration enables energy-efficient separations of solutes, solvents, or gases, benefiting a wide range of applications including water desalination, nanofiltration, hemodialysis, solvent-based separation, or natural gas purification. Semipermeable polymeric desalination membranes rely on solution-diffusion mechanism to separate water from salts, where selective transport of species arises from their solubility and diffusivity in polymer phase. Despite the remarkable progress in materials, structure, and separation process over the past few decades, today's membranes are subjected to intrinsic challenges ranging from resolving the trade-off between permeability and selectivity to maintaining robust operation with high stability and low fouling. Two dimensional materials have the potential to address some of the above challenges by offering a fundamentally new mechanism to control nanofluidic transport with sustainable nanoscale pores, thereby presenting a platform for next-generation reverse osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Although theoretical investigations of great breadth and depth have been pursued to understand mass transport across the atomically thin materials, experimental efforts are required to engineer and tune nanopore structure in macroscopically large graphene membranes and understand the resulting transport characteristics. Moreover, the effects of interplay between graphene nanopore structure and porous support layer on membrane transport properties need to be considered to identify the structure-function relationship of the nanoporous graphene membranes. This thesis aims at controlling selective graphene nanopore structure for high permeability and selectivity and understanding the tunable membrane transport properties. A two-step process of ion bombardment and oxygen plasma is carried out to introduce a high density of nanopores in large-area graphene membranes. Pore creation parameters are thoroughly explored to investigate the influence on pore size and density. The resulting transport properties of graphene membranes can be tuned to achieve high permeance to water, comparable to that of NF membranes, and highly selective transport of monovalent ions over organic molecules. Nanopore structure introduced in graphene membranes is inspected to quantitatively relate the pore creation parameters with the resulting pore size distributions. A multiscale transport model is constructed to investigate the interplay between nanoporous graphene and support pores that governs osmotic water flux and diffusive solute transport. Internal concentration polarization of draw solutes estimated by the model suggests that achieving narrowly distributed graphene pores with minimal leakage is essential to optimal operation of high-flux asymmetric graphene membranes under forward osmosis. Sterically governed molecular assembly is explored to mitigate residual solute leakage across large, non-selective pores for enhanced membrane selectivity. High molecular weight polymers can electrostatically or covalently assemble across nanoscale defects of graphene to narrow down the effective pore size distribution, sterically and electrostatically hindering transport. Multi-step size-selective polyelectrolyte assembly enables >/=99% retention of divalent ions and organic molecules, promising the potential of graphene in desalination, nanofiltration or organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). With experimental/theoretical means to characterize membrane structure and transport properties, this thesis forms the basis for regulating nanofluidic mass transport with tunable nanopores and developing atomically thin separation membranes with high selectivity and permeability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Separation processes are found in many diverse applications, including health (drug purification, sterilization) and environment (CO2 capture, water treatment, resource recovery). Compared to thermal-based separation systems, membranes are modular and have the potential for more efficient separations without the need for extreme temperatures and large equipment. However, conventional polymeric membranes can suffer from fouling, poor stability at high temperatures and in harsh chemical environments, are subject to a permeability/selectivity trade-off, and it remains hard to precisely control and engineer their structures on the molecular level. These limitations call for the development of new membrane materials to yield significant performance improvements. The emergence of 2D nanomaterials allows for the creation of atomically thin membranes such as nanoporous graphene (NPG), and offers the opportunity to enhance chemical stability as well as increase both permeability and selectivity via significantly reducing membrane thickness and controlling the pore structure. Despite significant progress in theoretical and experimental work in the development of NPG membranes, challenges remain to be addressed for NPGs to be deployed, particularly in the control of leakages through defects, the limited experimentally-supported transport understanding, and the exploration and design of NPG systems for various health and environment applications. This thesis extends the theoretical understanding of transport across graphene composite membranes and demonstrates how differences in the scaling of transport rates with pore size for viscous flow, gas effusion, dilute solute diffusion, and ion transport, together with the interplay between graphene and support structure and selective pore size distribution, influence leakage and selectivity. This thesis also explores how non-linear current-voltage relationships can arise in ultra-thin membranes due to induced charge effects. These models enable us to estimate permeation rates without the need for computationally-intensive simulations. Furthermore, this thesis presents the application of NPG to hemodialysis, desalination, and ion separations. For dialysis, using system level modeling of the device and its interaction with the body, we show that current dialyzers are membrane mass-transfer limited for protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs), and establish performance targets for NPG membranes to enhance PBUT removal. These targets are translated to the novel design and fabrication of 2 an hierarchically-supported NPG composite membrane. We also investigate the desalination performance achievable by practical NPGs with pore size distributions and ways to surpass the polymeric permeability/selectivity trade-off limit, and develop a novel experimental/analysis procedure to study simultaneous ion transport across NPG and strategies to enhance selectivity for the recovery of rare earth elements.

Download or read book Transport of Molecules Through and on Carbon Nanostructures written by Lee William Drahushuk and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-layer graphene membranes and other 2D membranes can realize very high gas permeation fluxes due to their atomic or unit cell thickness. Established modeling approaches for membrane transport consider transport through a finite and continuum thickness, and therefore they do not apply to the emerging field of 2D membranes, motivating the development of new theoretical treatments. In this thesis, I first developed an analytical theory for the transport of gases through single- layer graphene membranes, from the perspective of using pores in the graphene layer as a means for separation. I considered two pathways for the transport. The first being direct gas phase impingement on the pore, for which the large-pore separation factors are dictated by Knudsen selectivity, inversely proportional to the molecular weight; selectivity exceeding Knudsen is possible with smaller pores that reach a size commensurate with the size of the molecule, enabling separation by molecular sieving. The second pathway involves adsorption and transport on the graphene surface, similar to mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis, which becomes more relevant for larger, strongly-adsorbing molecules. These models and pathways are applied for an estimate of a N2/H2 separation and as an explanation for results observed in the molecular dynamics literature. I applied our understanding of nanopore mechanisms and developed analysis of gas transport through graphene with approximately one selective nanopore etched into it, using experimental data from Bunch et al at Boston University for transport of He, H2 Ne, Ar, and CO2 through a small area graphene membrane with a single or few pores. The transport was measured by collaborators via monitoring the deflection of a graphene flake sealing a pressurized, 5[gamma]m diameter microcavity on the surface of a Si/SiO2 wafer. For this experimental system, I report on a mathematical formalism that allows one to detect and analyze stochastic changes in the gas phase fluxes from graphene membranes, extracting activation energies of pore rearrangements, 1.0 eV, and even identifying contributions from multiple, isolated pores.One opportunity that I identified is the use of a molecularly sized nanopore to 'direct write' the flux using a translatable platform. I performed an exploratory investigation of this concept of using a "nanonozzle," a nanometer scale pore that can deliver a flow of material locally, to grow nanoscale features. The model application was the growth of a graphene nanoribbon on a surface. I explored a variety of analytical mathematical models to understand the parameters and limitations of such a system. I developed a simple simulation of the nanoribbon growth and compared the results to the models for a range of parameters, considering the reasons for differences between the simulated and calculated results. This analysis provides considerations for the experimental design of such a system. Overall, the theories in this thesis and the analysis in they enable should aid the development of 2D membranes for separations applications and a novel direct write method for nanoscale patterning.

Download or read book Study of Ion and Solvent Transport Through Graphene Oxide Membranes written by Kai Wang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filtration membranes are required to be thin, robust, energy efficient, and accurate on selectivity. Graphene oxide (GO) is believed to be a potential next generation material for industrial membrane applications because of its unique properties such as strong mechanical strength, excellent aqueous solution processability, and great flexibility for membrane fabrication. Research on the transport models, the separation performance, and the functionalization of GO membranes has been developed. However, many mechanisms of mass transport through GO membranes still remain debatable. In this work, GO was synthesized, and then functionalized with linear amine-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and aluminum ions (Al). The fabrication and characterizations of GO, PEG-GO, and Al-GO membranes were demonstrated in this work. Water and water/ethanol binary mixture transport through GO, PEG-GO, and Al-GO membranes were studied to investigate the permeation and the rejection rates of solvents through GO-based membranes. The total volumetric flux of water/ethanol mixture through GO membranes was inversely proportional to the viscosity of the solvent mixtures. The steric hindrance effect and the interactions between the solvent molecules and the membrane surfaces dominated the rejection rate of ethanol through GO membranes. The functionalization of GO modified the pore size and the porosity of the membranes, resulting in faster permeation of solvents and reduced rejection rates of ethanol through PEG-GO and Al-GO membranes. Deformation of nanochannels within the functionalized GO membranes was observed when the membranes were operated under highly pressurized conditions. Diffusive transport of two charge equivalent and structurally similar ruthenium complex ions Ru(bpy)32+ and iv Ru(phen)32+ through GO, PEG-GO, and Al-GO membranes were also studied. Our data showed high similarity with the results reported previously in the literature, indicating that the GO and functionalized GO membranes used in this work were highly consistent. Due to the enlarged pore sizes and the reduced interactions between ions and the membrane surfaces, the flux of ions through PEG-GO membranes was 300% higher than that through GO membranes. In contrast, permeation of ions through Al-GO membranes was slower than that through GO membranes. The blocked nanopores and the electrostatic repulsion between the intercalated aluminum ions and complex ions were the main reasons for this observation. In addition, the main reason for the significant permeance difference between Ru(bpy)32+ and Ru(phen)32+ ions was confirmed as the steric hindrance effect. This work contributes to the basic research on GO membranes in potential applications. It can be beneficial to the academic laboratories for understanding the mechanism of mass transport through GO-based membranes. These new membrane materials could replace traditional membrane materials in many industrial applications in the future.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanoporous graphene membranes are gaining attention in the field of separation processes. Regarding gas separation, perm-selective membranes technology consumes less energy than other conventional technologies. Due to nanoporous graphene's atomic thickness, controllable pore size in the range of molecular diameters, mechanical and chemical stability, it is considered as one of the most favorable membrane material for industrial gas separation applications. For instance, in the context of natural gas production and air separation, the separation of CH4/CO2, N2/O2 mixtures would greatly benefit from this kind of new materials. With the rapid development in graphene fabrication technology, breakthroughs in nanoporous graphene membranes are expected in the next few years and quite sufficient data can be found in publications. However,there is no accurate theory that can predict gas permeation and separation factor quantitively.In this work, we show that gas permeation through single-layer nanoporous graphene membranes can be divided into three regimes: molecular sieving, crossover regime and effusion. We propose a theoretical framework to explain the mechanisms and predict the diffusive transport coefficient. In our framework, the transport coefficient is related to the parameters which can be computed from the potential of mean force (PMF) between permeating gas molecules and the membrane atoms. By means of Equilibrium (EMD) and Non Equilibrium (NEMD) molecular dynamics simulations, we explore the permeation of pure compounds through nanoporous graphene membranes exhibiting differentpore sizes and geometry. We also investigate the effect of thermodynamic conditions (pressure and temperature) on the transport coefficient. Simulated transport coefficients are in good agreement with the predictions of our theory over the whole range of permeation regimes. Furthermore, based on the knowledge acquired on the permeation of pure compounds, we define the concept of selectivity. By comparing the results of molecular simulations performed with gas mixtures, we show in which cases the results weobtained for pure compounds, and consequently our theoretical framework, allow us to predict the selectivity of mixtures.

Download or read book Gas Separation Using Nanoporous Single layer Graphene Membranes written by Zhe Yuan (Chemical engineer) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanoporous single-layer graphene is regarded as a highly promising membrane material for gas separation due to its atomic thickness. When single-layer graphene contains a high density of gas sieving nanoscale pores, it can exhibit both a high gas permeance and a high selectivity, which is beneficial for reducing the cost of gas separation processes. However, significant challenges remain for matching theoretical predictions with experimental measurements and for the real application of graphene membranes for gas separations. To tackle these challenges, in this thesis, I carry out both theoretical and experimental investigations to understand and to improve the gas separation properties of nanoporous single-layer graphene membranes. On the theoretical side, first, using molecular dynamics simulations, I investigate the mechanism of activated gas permeation through sub-nanometer graphene pores when energy barriers exist for pore crossing. I develop an analytical framework based on transition state theory to predict the gas permeance through a given graphene nanopore. Second, I extend the analytical framework mentioned above from sub-nanometer pores to larger pores. I formulate the transport kinetics associated with the direct impingement from the bulk and with the surface diffusion from the adsorption layer on graphene, and then combine them to predict the overall gas permeation rate using a reaction network model. Last, I apply the theory developed above to predict the total gas permeance through a pore ensemble with a realistic pore size distribution, which is generated by Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. I show that the total gas permeance through a pore ensemble is dominated by a small fraction of large nanopores having low energy barriers of pore crossing. On the experimental side, I demonstrate temperature-dependent gas mixture separation using single-layer graphene membranes. The membranes contain intrinsic nanopores formed during the chemical vapor deposition synthesis of graphene. I investigate the formation mechanism of the intrinsic graphene nanopores, and systematically control the density of the intrinsic graphene nanopores while maintaining appropriate pore sizes for gas sieving. I identify that nanoscale molecular fouling of the graphene surface where graphene pores are partially blocked by hydrocarbon contaminants under experimental conditions, affects both gas permeance and selectivity.
