Abstract

Vapor-phase treatment of ZIF-8 membranes with manganese(II) acetylacetonate (Mn(acac)2) allows permselectivity tuning. Propylene/propane selectivity increases from 31 to 210 after the Mn(acac)2 treatment at 165 °C for 30 min, while selectivities increase from 14.6 to 242 for H2/CH4, from 2.9 to 38 for CO2/CH4, from 2.4 to 29 for CO2/N2, and from 2.9 to 7.5 for O2/N2, after Mn(acac)2 treatment at 175 °C for 30 min. Stable equimolar propylene/propane mixture selectivity of 165 at ambient temperature and 4 bar equimolar feed with a propylene flux of 8.3×10−4 mol m−2 s−1 is established. A control experiment excludes thermal treatment alone causing these changes. XPS analysis reveals the presence of Mn(acac)2 on the outer surface of the vapor-treated ZIF-8 membranes while no other changes are detectable by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy.
