Popis: Processes, such as biogas upgrading and natural gas sweetening, make CO2/CH4 separation an environmentally relevant and current topic. One way to overcome this separation issue is the application of membranes. An increase in separation efficiency can be achieved by applying mixed-matrix membranes, in which filler materials are introduced into polymer matrices. In this work, we report the covalent triazine framework CTF-biphenyl as filler material in a matrix of the glassy polyimide Matrimid®. MMMs with 8, 16, and 24 wt% of the filler material are applied for CO2/CH4 mixed-gas separation measurements. With a CTF-biphenyl loading of only 16 wt%, the CO2 permeability is more than doubled compared to the pure polymer membrane, while maintaining the high CO2/CH4 selectivity of Matrimid®.
