In fact, the beneficial properties of PEG（high selectivity） with those of PPG（high permeability, amorphous） have been combined with superior properties of mixed matrix membrane（MMMs）. The membranes were characterized by DSC, TGA and SEM, while CuBTC was characterized by COand CHadsorption test. Statistically based experimental design（central composite design, CCD） was applied to analyze and optimize the effect of PEG-ran-PPG（10–50 wt%） and CuBTC（0–20 wt%） mass contents on the COpermeance and CO/CHideal selectivity. Based on the regression coefficients of the obtained models, the COpermeance was notably influenced by PEG-ran-PPG,while CuBTC has the most significant effect on the CO/CHideal selectivity. Under the optimum conditions（PEG-ran-PPG: 32.76 wt% and CuBTC: 20 wt%）, nearly 620% increase in the COpermeance and43% enhancement in the CO/CHideal selectivity was observed compared to the neat Pebax. The effect of pressure（3, 9 and 15 bar） on the pure and mixed gas separation performance of the composite membranes was also investigated. The high solubility of COin the membranes resulted in the enhancement of COpermeability with increase in gas pressure.展开更多
