▼ RESUMEN: Resumen
El propileno es el segundo producto químico con mayor volumen de producción a nivel mundial, principalmente debido a la producción de resinas de polipropileno. El impacto de este producto químico básico en la economía mundial ha estado creciendo en las últimas décadas y la notable importancia de su larga lista de productos derivados garantiza una continuación de esta tendencia.
Sin embargo, la separación de mezclas gaseosas propano/propileno conlleva grandes desafíos desde el punto de vista de la sostenibilidad económica y medioambiental del proceso de producción de propileno y sus productos derivados. Estos retos surgen de los elevados requerimientos de energía y capital de los procesos de separación actuales, basados principalmente en destilación criogénica o a alta presión, y que están causados por la similitud entre las propiedades fisicoquímicas de ambas sustancias.
Esta tesis tiene como objetivo la síntesis y el desarrollo de materiales de membrana innovadores y el análisis de su capacidad de separación cuando se implementan en procesos de membranas alternativos.

▼ The overall focus of this thesis is to develop and understand zeolitic membranes that can separate mixtures of radioisotope krypton-85 and xenon released as off-gases during used nuclear fuel recycling. The primary advantage of separating krypton-85 from xenon is to reduce the volume of radioactive waste for storage. Moreover, revenue is expected by the sale of high-purity Xe. Zeolite membranes are attractive because of their high resistance to radiation degradation and much lower energy requirement compared to cryogenic distillation. However, there is currently very little knowledge in the literature regarding the properties of zeolite materials and membranes for Kr/Xe
separation. In this thesis, a detailed study of silicoaluminophosphate zeolite SAPO-34 materials and membranes is carried out and a potential role of membrane system is investigated for Kr/Xe
separation. This aim is pursued via the development of scalable approaches for fabrication of high-performance SAPO-34 membranes, detailed investigation of transport properties, and a preliminary analysis of its economic potential.

▼ Natural zeolite-based membranes have recently shown
promise in the separation of H2 from CO2 and hydrocarbons. However,
these highly dense, naturally monolithic materials can suffer
defects which disrupt the continuity of the zeolite micropores and
create leak paths through the membrane. Cement materials were
explored as a component to generate mixed-matrix zeolite membranes.
The ability for cement to intergrow between the zeolite particles
promised to, under proper conditions, provide a smooth non-boundary
interface with the zeolite particles and eliminate interparticle
voids. The influence of zeolite contents in the composite
membranes, operating pressures and temperatures on the performance
of the membranes were examined. Gas permeation results show a
hydrogen permeance of 4.1 × 10-8 mol.m-2.s-1.Pa-1 a CO2 permeance
of 1.6 × 10-9 mol.m-2.s-1.Pa-1 and a H2/CO2 single gas selectivity
of 25 were obtained at 25 °C and 1 atm. The gas permeance through
the clinoptilolite cement composite membrane was dependent on
operating temperature, indicating that the permeation through the
membrane was an activated diffusion process and that the permeation
through the zeolite embedded in the composite membrane was
predominant. However, the increase of gas permeation and the
corresponding decrease of H2/CO2 selectivity with increasing total
pressure are an indication of some defects in the composite
membranes. Further research to optimize the membrane preparation
conditions and to modify the membrane surface to improve hydrogen
permeation and H2/CO2 selectivity is needed.

▼ Hydrocarbon
separation in the industry is challenging and currently achieved by well-established relative energy intensive and multi-column distillation processes. Even if many promising membrane-based
separation technologies were developed to deal with the issues in hydrocarbon separations, we could find limited practical applications by polymeric membranes because of low selectivity and stability in
separation process of industry.
Zeolitic-imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have large potential owing to their well-defined aperture size, robustness, and excellent thermal/chemical stability. Recently, ZIF-90 membranes with effective aperture size ~ 5.0 Å have been investigated to have a large potential to separate C4 hydrocarbons such as n-butane/i-butane mixture which cannot be effectively separated by ZIF-8 membranes. However, there are limited numbers of reports about ZIF-90 membrane fabrication and C4 hydrocarbon
separation performance of ZIF-90 membranes.
Herein, we proposed a new method to fabricate thin ZIF-90 membranes (thickness ~ 3 – 5 µm) for C4 hydrocarbon
separation via Microwave (MW) assisted seeding of ZIF-8 on alumina supports, solvent-assisted linker exchange, and tertiary growth. Even though the cracks formed after drying, saturated drying technique was applied to reduce the formation of cracks efficiently. In addition, several binary
gas permeation measurements have been conducted to obtain the performance of the as-synthesized ZIF-90 membranes. The
gas permeation measurement for our targeted C4 hydrocarbons is still waiting until the equipment and C4 hydrocarbon were ready for permeation measurement.

▼ Polybenzimidazoles, a class of aromatic heterocyclic polymers, are well known due to their remarkable thermal stability, mechanical properties and chemical resistance which are often required in extreme operation conditions. Because of these properties, polybenzimidazoles are excellent candidates in various application areas including proton exchange membrane fuel cells,
gas separation membranes, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, and high performance coatings. The following studies are focused on the synthesis, characterization and related properties of polybenzimidazoles and polybenzimidazole based materials.
A novel sulfonyl-containing tetraamino-substituted monomer (3,3',4,4'-tetraaminodiphenylsulfone) was synthesized and polymerized with three different diacid monomers to make polybenzimidazoles. The new monomer synthesis route with reduced steps relative to the existing literature method increased the overall yield by a factor of three. The sulfonyl-containing polybenzimidazoles have enhanced solubilities in common organic solvents including dimthylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in comparison with the commercial polybenzimidazole, Celazole ®, poly(2,2'-(m-phenylene)-5,5'-bibenzimidazole). The improvements in solubility are attributed to the introduction of polar sulfonyl linking moiety in the monomer. Remarkable thermal stabilities (high Tg, > 428 °C) were demonstrated through Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). A well designed film casting process was investigated and established. Polybenzimidazoles were
fabricated into transparent thin films (20-30 μm thick) for
gas transport measurements. These novel polybenzimidazole films exhibited extraordinary
gas separation properties, especially for H2/CO2
separation.
There is a trade-off relationship between
gas permeability and selectivity through dense, non-porous polymer membranes that was discovered by Robeson in 1991. The ultimate goal for developing
gas separation membranes is to improve both permeability and selectivity simultaneously.
Gas permeability is related to the free volume between polymer chains. In order to improve
gas permeability, we hypothesized a concept that increasing free volume could be achieved by thermally degrading sacrificial components and volatilizing their byproducts from a glassy matrix. Volatile components were introduced into the films to preoccupy the spaces between polymer chains. Once they were degraded and removed through the thermal treatment, it was hypothesized that the preoccupied spaces would remain empty due to the glassy nature of the matrix at the heat treatment temperature, thus resulting in more free volume. Two post- modification strategies including grafting and blending were utilized to incorporate the volatile components, poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide). Post-modified polybenzimidazole films impressively showed significant enhancements in both
gas permeability and selectivity for H2/CO2
separation. The H2 permeability of the…

▼ Polybenzoxazoles (PBOs)
are highly attractive membrane materials because of their superior
gas separation parameters (high permeability and high selectivity)
and excellent mechanical and thermal stability. However, the
practical application of PBO-based membranes is frequently
frustrated by their poor processability due to insolubility
problem. Current PBO synthesis approach addresses the insolubility
issue by solid-state thermal rearrangement (TR) of aromatic
polyimides (APIs) with ortho-positioned hydroxyl
group, wherein the soluble API precursors are solution cast into
membranes before being thermally converted to TR
membranes. However, the API-TR process poses some
major challenges, complicating the implementation of TR membranes
for practical industrial applications. First of all, the
temperatures required for the TR conversion are very high (>
400 °C), which severely limits the choice of porous supporting
polymers used in common membrane modules such as hollow fibers.
Moreover, the high thermal conversion temperature causes collateral
thermal degradation in the TR polymers, causing brittleness and
defects in the resulting membranes. In addition, the thermal
conversion process requires strict inert media
(N
2 or vacuum) for the imide-to-benzoxazole
conversion to occur, which makes the API-TR process of PBO
membranes production highly cost-intensive and
complex. This work explores the feasibility of
alternative routes to produce high performance PBO-based membranes
as well as investigate new synthesis approach of PBOs with much
improved processability to overcome the abovementioned challenges
in the API-TR route. Specifically, four approaches to form
PBO-based membranes have been investigated in this work:
Developing an alternate process to produce PBO
membranes via thermal cyclodehydration (CD) of polyhydroxyamide
(PHA) precursors: Investigating the interplay
between the TR and CD processes in a series of blends of API and
PHA in varying ratios: Developing a novel
one-pot, solution cyclization synthesis route to produce
organo-soluble PBOs (S-PBOs) via a silylation assisted process of
in situ amide-to-benzoxazole
conversion: Synthesizing PBO-based copolymers
via a combination of in situ solution
cyclization and solid-state TR conversion to maximize
separation

▼ Polymers with high permeability (throughput), selectivity (
separation efficiency), and long term stability are desired for
gas separation applications. This dissertation investigates
gas transport properties of two relatively novel polymer membranes: thermally rearranged (TR) polymers and UV-crosslinked poly(arylene ether ketone)s (PAEKs). TR polymers belong to a relatively recent class of materials that, due in part to high free volume and a favorable free volume distribution, have interesting
gas separation performance. This work examines the structure-property relationship of several TR isomers, explores the
gas transport and mechanical properties of a series of TR copolymers, and investigates the influence of toluene, a model aromatic contaminant in natural
gas on pure- and mixed-
gas permeation properties of TR polymers. In addition to TR polymers, this thesis also presents the influence of UV irradiation and physical aging on O2 and N2 permeation properties of ultra-thin (~150 nm thick) PAEK films.
Gas permeability decreased and selectivity increased with UV irradiation and aging time. Samples irradiated in air have lower permeability coefficients and higher selectivities than samples irradiated in N2. Additionally, physical aging behavior was also influenced by the aging environment and the irradiation wavelength.

▼ Matrimid was utilized for the preparation of membranes with asymmetric
structures. A combination of well-known solvents for Matrimid which include 1-
methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP), tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane,
tetrachloroethane as well as non-solvents n-butanol, xylene, and acetic acid were
used. Cast solutions were prepared at room temperature for different
combinations and compositions of polymer/solvent/non-solvent systems. PEG
and Octa-(amino phenyl) POSS were introduced in some of the cast solutions.
The membranes obtained were characterized by permeation test for
gas
permeabilities and selectivities, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy. The
gas permeation test
showed that the use of mixture of dichloromethane and tetrachloroethane as
solvents with xylene non-solvent and acetic acid as stabilizer gave membranes
with very high
gas selectivity of 133 for CO2/N2 and 492 for CO2/CH4. Also, cast
solutions containing PEG resulted in membranes with slightly enhanced
selectivities from 30 to 42 for CO2/N2. Permeation results for CO2, N2 and H2 and
the selectivities for
gas pairs such as CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, are discussed in relation
to the effect of pressure on the membrane permeance, they are also compared
with existing results.

▼ There is a pressing need for advanced solid-state materials that can be implemented in industrial
gas separation processes to achieve separations with a significantly reduced energy input compared to what is typically required from current technologies.
Although certain porous materials like zeolites bear some commercial significance for
gas separation; their inherent lack of tunability limits the extent to which these materials may be exploited in industry. Zeolite-like Metal-Organic Frameworks (ZMOFs) are a sub-class of Metal-Organic Framework materials (MOFs) that show a structural semblance to zeolites while possessing the tunability advantages of MOF materials. ZMOFs which are topologically similar to certain zeolites can be functionalised and tuned in numerous ways to improve their
gas separation properties.
In this work, indium-based sod-ZMOF was tuned by cation-exchange and then characterised by different experimental tools such as single-crystal x-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and
gas adsorption. It was found that various parameters like the choice of cation, the concentration of salt solution and the choice of solvent had a significant bearing on the cation-exchange of sod-ZMOF and its subsequent adsorption properties.

▼ In this dissertation, the metathesis route of metal chalcogenide aerogel synthesis was expanded by conducting systematic studies between polysulfide building blocks and the 1st-row transition metal linkers. Resulting materials were screened as sorbents for selective
gas separation and volatile organic compounds adsorption. They showed preferential adsorption of polarizable gases (CO2) and organic compounds (toluene). Ion exchange and heavy metal remediation properties have also been demonstrated. The effect of the presence of different counter-ion within chalcogel frameworks on the adsorption capacity of the chalcogels was studied on AFe3Zn3S17 (A= K, Na, and Rb) chalcogels. The highest adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons and gases was observed on Rb based chalcogels.
Adopting a new building block [BiTe3]3- with the 1st-row transition metal ions results in the formation of three high BET surface area chalcogels, KCrBiTe3, KZnBiTe3, and KFeBiTe3. The resulting chalcogels showed preferential adsorption of toluene vapor, and remarkable selectivity of CO2, indicating the potential future use of chalcogels in adsorption-based
gas or hydrocarbon
separation processes. The synthesis and characterization of the rare earth chalcogels NaYSnS4, NaGdSnS4, and NaTbSnS4 are also reported. Rare earth metal ions react with the thiostannate clusters in formamide solution forming extended polymeric networks by gelation. Obtained chalcogels have high BET surface areas, and showed notable adsorption capacity toward CO2 and toluene vapor. These chalcogels have also been engaged in the absorption of different organic molecules. The results reveal the ability of the chalcogels to distinguish among organic molecules on their electronic structures; hence, they could be used as sensors.
Furthermore, the synthesis of metal chalcogenide aerogels Co0.5Sb0.33MoS4 and Co0.5Y0.33MoS4 by the sol-gel method is reported. In this system, the building blocks [MoS4]2- chelated with Co2+ and (Sb3+) or (Y3+) salts in nonaqueous solvents forming amorphous networks with gel properties. The chalcogels obtained after supercritical drying have high BET surface areas. These chalcogels showed higher adsorption capacity of toluene vapor over cyclohexane vapor and high selectivity of CO2 over CH4 or H2. The uptake capacity and selectivity of toluene and CO2 adsorption of Co0.5Sb0.33MoS4 were significantly enhanced by the post-synthetic modifications of various metal species like Ni2+, Li+, and Mg2+.

▼ Supersonic
separation is a novel technology for natural
gas separation. The theoretical design uniquely combines concepts from aerodynamics, thermodynamics, physical
separation and fluid-dynamics resulting in an innovative
gas conditioning process. It is used to condition the
gas by removing condensable vapors and natural
gas liquids. The supersonic separator is composed of a converging section, a Laval nozzle and a diverging section.
Natural
gas flows from reservoirs with low velocity and high pressure. In the supersonic
separation process, the temperature drops below the dew point of the natural
gas. A multiphase flow is formed. Undesired components form liquid condensates that are centrifugally removed through side collection streams.
The goal of this work is to develop a one-dimensional thermodynamic numerical model that presents great potential as a fast and accurate tool that enables the simulation of supersonic separators with significant details. The model is to fill certain gaps found in literature with a shortcut modeling technique. This model would best fit the category of preliminary design tools with decreased computational loads.
The model was utilized to test several cases for validation. Air, 3-component natural
gas and 13-component natural
gas mixtures were tested as working fluids at different conditions and nozzle area ratios. Tests included nozzles with and without side streams. The shortcut model demonstrated matching results with previous models from benchmarked studies. The computational load was immensely decreased by reducing the number of locations tested in the diverging nozzle to locate the side streams and the shockwave.
The reduction of computational load was demonstrated by decreasing simulation time by 75%-97% depending on the nozzle geometry and conditions. The model proved to be a quick tool suitable for preliminary designs.

▼ The entire world including Saudi Arabia is dependent on natural
gas to provide new energy supplies for the future. Conventional ways for
gas separation are expensive, and, hence, it is very important to reduce the cost and lower the energy consumption. Membrane technology is a relatively new
separation process for natural
gas purification with large growth potential, specifically for off-shore applications. The economics of any membrane
separation process depend primarily on the intrinsic
gas permeation properties of the membrane materials. All current commercial membranes for natural
gas separation are made from polymers, which have several drawbacks, including low permeability, moderate selectivity, and poor stability in acid
gas and hydrocarbon environments.
The recent development of polymeric materials called “polymers of intrinsic microporosity” (PIMs) provide a new class of high-performance membrane materials that are anticipated to be used in natural
gas separation processes including, but not limited to, acid
gas removal and
separation of hydrocarbons from methane. PIM-7 is an excellent example of a material from the PIMs series for
gas separation. It was selected for this work since it has not been extensively tested for its
gas permeation properties to date. Specifically, sorption and mixed-
gas permeation data were not available for PIM-7 prior to this work.
Sorption isotherms of N2, O2, CH4, CO2, C2H6, C3H8 and n-C4H10 were determined over a range of pressures at 35 °C for PIM-7 using a custom-designed dual-volume pressure decay system. Condensable hydrocarbon gases, such as C3H8 and n-C4H10, show significantly higher solubility than the other less condensable
gas of the test series due to their high affinity to the polymer matrix. Dual-mode sorption model parameters were determined from the sorption isotherms. Henry’s law solubility, Langmuir capacity constant and the affinity constant increased with
gas condensability. Permeability coefficients of He, H2, N2, O2, CH4, CO2, C2H6, C3H8 and n-C4H10 were measured at 35 °C and 2 atm feed pressure using a home-made constant-volume/variable pressure pure-
gas permeation system. Hydrocarbon-induced plasticization of PIM-7 was confirmed by measuring the permeability coefficients of C3H8 and n-C4H10 as function of pressure at 35 °C.
Diffusion coefficients were calculated from the permeability and solubility data at 2 atm for all penetrants tested and as function of pressure for C3H8 and n-C4H10; the values for C3 and C4 increased significantly with pressure because of plasticization. Physical aging was studied by measuring the permeability coefficients of a number of gases in fresh and aged films. Mixed-
gas permeation tests were performed for a feed mixture of 2 vol% n-butane and 98 vol% methane. Based on BET surface area measurements using N2 as a probe molecule, PIM-7 is a microporous polymer (S = 690 m2/g) and it was expected to exhibit selectivity for n-butane over methane, as previously observed for other microporous polymers, such as PIM-1 and PTMSP.…

▼ Gas chromatography (GC) is a versatile technique used in diverse fields such as biological/medical, environmental protection, pharmaceutical, and food/agricultural. This is the premier technique to identify and quantify components of interest from a complex mixture. However, the current GC systems are bulky and expensive. Microfabricated
gas chromatographic columns (µGCs) have been developed to miniaturize the state of the art systems, allowing for removal of the large and inefficient ovens as well as fabrication of a micro-total analytical system (µTAS) for on-site detection. The µGC devices also provide a platform for creation of novel geometries and stationary phases unique to microfabricated devices. Although there has been considerable success in development of µGC columns and µTAS devices, currently microfabricated devices have not matched the performance of commercial columns in a number of areas. Firstly, microfabricated columns have temperature limitations much lower than that of commercial columns. To date, microfabricated columns have not operated at temperatures above 250 °C due to the epoxies used in the world-to-device connections, while standard commercial columns operate at temperatures up to 350 °C. The thermal limitations of the µGC devices prevent the use of these devices with a large number of compounds typically separated using
gas chromatography. Additionally, the
separation efficiency of the microfabricated columns have not matched that of commercial columns and no direct comparison of µGC columns to commercial columns has been made. Finally, there is a need for a seamless world-to-device connection to eliminate detrimental dead space and improve column efficiency. Here we address the problems listed above. We have developed novel microfabricated channel designs capable of improved chromatographic performance and allowing for high throughput and lengths up to 10 meters. To operate at high temperatures (up to 400 °C) we have fabricated interfacing and packaging techniques enabling microfabricated columns and have demonstrated the first high temperature
separation with a µGC column. We have optimized the world-to-device microfluidic interconnection removing dead volume at the inlet. We have benchmarked the performance of the microfabricated column against commercially available conventional columns and displayed a clear solution to improve the
separation efficiency of microfabricated columns. We expect the results of this work to further the µGC field in both research and commercial aspects.

▼ Flow-through catalytic membrane reactors offer the potential for improved conversions at reduced operating temperature due to product separation and catalyst activity. An experimental work dealing with a forced flow-through membrane reactor is the subject of this thesis. The focus is on the performance and transport characteristics of selective thin-supported silica membranes and flow-through catalytic membrane systems. The improvement of VOC-selective, H2-selective and CO2-selective membrane properties by the use of systematic dip-coating techniques and the application of the technique in a bi-layer membrane repair concept for gas separation membranes has been studied. In addition, several methods were used to characterize the membranes, including scanning electron microscopy, energy diffraction X-ray, nitrogen adsorption and gas permeation. In the first part of this work, CO2 permeance (3.39 x 10-8 mol m-2 s-1 Pa-1 at 25 0C for γ-Al2O3 membrane after exposing boehmite to the support) was mainly attributed to the Knudsen diffusion mechanism. CO2/CH4 selectivity of 24.07 was obtained from the silica membrane at 25 0C and 0.7 bar. Such a selectivity value could be useful in small-scale carbon dioxide removal units for natural gas treatment processes. In addition, H2/N2 selectivity of 1.36 and 2.72 at 1 bar were obtained from macro and meso porous membranes at 25 0C. The selectivity of propylene (C3H6) over N2 was also obtained. Higher selectivity of 1.79 at 0.05 bar was obtained. This selectivity increased by a factor of 2 compared to the ideal Knudsen selectivity (0.82). Remarkable propane conversion of 95.47% was achieved at a temperature of 378 0C on a 3.52 wt% platinum (Pt) catalyst at different total flow rates, ranging from 166 to 270ml/min. The temperature at which the catalytic combustion takes place for the VOC corroborates with (or is lower than) the one obtained from the literature for the same VOC on 5 wt% Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts.

▼ Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIMs) combine the desirable processability of polymers with a significant degree of microporosity generated from the inefficient packing of their rigid and contorted structures. They are attracting attention for a variety of applications including as membrane materials for gas separations. Over the last 30 years, membranes have become an established technology for separating gases and are likely to play key role in reducing the environmental impact and costs of many industrial processes such as O2 or N2 enrichment from air, natural gas upgrading and hydrogen recovery from ammonia production. This thesis describes the synthesis of a series of novel PIMs, primarily PIM-polyimide structures (PIM-PI) and investigates their potential in such applications. In particular, it focuses on the design and synthesis of solution processable PIMs in order to study how structural differences affect the gas permeability. The first section describes the synthesis of a variety of PIM-PIs using large bulky diamines derived from spirobisindane (SBI) and biphenylfluorene (BPF) structures which are useful monomers for achieving high BET (Brunauer-Emmett- Teller) surface areas (> 650 m2 g-1). The second section describes a whole series PIs based on novel and literature based Tröger’s base (TB) diamine monomers. Most of these exhibited good solubility, excellent thermal stability and intrinsic microporosity, with apparent BET surface areas in the range 450-739 m2 g-1. Notably, a polyimide derived from Me2TB and pyromellitic anhydride demonstrates gas permeability data above the 2008 upper bounds for important gas pairs such as O2/N2, H2/N2 and H2/CH4. The third section aims to enforce rigidity within the polymers further by incorporating differently substituted monomers based on rigid ethanoanthracene (EA) units. This includes the formation of a novel EA-EA based PI with an exceptionally rigid polymeric structure, possessing a BET surface area of 694 m2 g-1. In addition to very high permeability, this polymer demonstrates improved gas selectivity due to its enhanced performance as a molecular sieve, placing it amongst some of the highest performing polymers to date. The final section looks at other ways in which rigidity can be enforced including the formation of TB-polymers and thermally rearranged (TR) polymers and assesses their potential for future investigations.

▼ As promising power generation technology, the advantages of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) system are confirmed. However, high electricity production cost is the bottleneck before fully commercialization. IGCC complicated process, including gasification, power and Air Separation Unit (ASU) island, provides opportunities to increase its efficiency through process optimization and integration. But there is a requirement of suitable models considering both prediction accuracy and flexibility to overcome existing barrier of large-scale optimization problem. In this thesis, the gap is fulfilled by proposing simplified models for three IGCC islands. Firstly, the novel simplified gasification island model is proposed based on reaction mechanism simplification using Water Gas Shit Reaction. After validation by experiment data, Cold Gas Efficiency optimization of IGCC plant gasifier is achieved with 10 % improvement. Then simplified model of power island is proposed and compared with rigorous commercial simulator. It is the foundation of further Gas Turbine performance optimization and Steam Turbine (ST) simultaneous parameter optimization and heat integration considering boiler feed water preheating. As the extension of simplified ST model, a novel shortcut model is proposed to optimize the regenerative retrofit for steam Rankine cycle. The most profitable regenerative scheme could generate from single to multiple extractions situations. After the validations with non-linear solver, the advantages of simple optimization procedures without building simulation and applying optimization algorithm are demonstrated in industrial case. Besides that, a simplified cryogenic ASU model is proposed and the non-standard operation conditions shows good performance for IGCC plant application. Finally, using all proposed models, the simultaneous parameter optimization and integration of IGCC system is completed in the aspect of economic and thermal performance. The simultaneous methodology is applied for gasification island firstly with 40 % profit and 4 % CGE improvements, and then for power and ASU island together with stepwise power output increment among cases.

▼ Gas absorption in hollow fibre contactors is being increasingly used due to their enormous surface area/volume ratio. The capability of the hollow fibre membrane modules for the removal of CO 2 and SO2 from a binary gas mixture has been investigated experimentally. Four different modules were used in this study. The membranes in modules one and two were made of microporous polypropylene. The third module was made of non-porous silicone rubber (polydimethylsiloxane) while the latter one was a polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) asymmetric hollow fibre membrane. The gas mixtures used in the experiments were composed of 9.5% CO2 and 1% SO2 in N 2 , which was introduced into the hollow fibre lumen, while the absorbent liquid was fed into the shell side of module. The absorbent liquids used were water, aqueous solutions of diethanolamine (DBA) and ammonia at different concentrations (5, 10 and 20 wt%). The effects of different operating conditions on the permeation process have been investigated for co-current and counter-current flow patterns. In addition, to improve the silicone rubber hollow fibre membrane performance, baffles were installed within the shell of the permeator to increase liquid fibre contact. The results obtained showed that the use of baffles within the shell of the permeator improved the separation performance of the non-porous membrane module without any substantial increase in the physical size of the contacting device. Studies also showed that improved performance was observed when the system was operated under a counter-current flow pattern. The results showed that the use of an absorbent liquid in the permeate side of the fibres increased the selectivity of the membranes used, and reduced the need to maintain a high pressure ratio across the membrane. A decrease in the feed gas flow rate or increase in liquid flow rate generally improved the removal of gases. The results showed that the use of aqueous reactive solutions as an absorbing medium in the permeate side of the hollow fibre permeator can significantly improve CO2 removal from the gas mixture. However, the main problem when using a microporous membrane coupled with aqueous solutions of diethanolamine as absorbent was wetting of the microporous membrane by amine solutions. For 862 separation, the highest removal was attained using the microporous membrane coupled with water as absorbent liquid. This demonstrates that a hollow fibre based device can be a very efficient gas liquid contactor. The separation process was simulated with a numerical model based on the effective permeabilities of gases and compared with the experimental results. The model simulations showed good agreement with the experimental observations.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the synthesis and characterization of high performance polymers, especially polyimides, polybenzoxazoles and polybenzimidazoles for
gas separation applications. An abundance of monomers and novel polymers were synthesized and fabricated into membranes.
Thermally rearranged polybenzoxazoles and their precursor polyimides were systematically studied with regard to size of pendant functional groups, thermal rearrangement conversion, and relationship of backbone structure/
gas transport properties. 3,3'-Diamino-4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl was synthesized using an economical route. Meta and para oriented polyimides with different ortho-functionality were synthesized and these polymers were thermally rearranged into polybenzoxazoles. The polar hydroxyl functional groups on the polyimide backbone diminished the meta/para isomer effect of the permeability coefficients of the polymers and only a small difference between meta- and para-oriented polyhydroxyimides in permeability coefficients was observed. The TR polybenzoxazoles derived from meta/para-oriented isomeric polyimides with ortho functionality had similar
gas separation properties, especially for CO2/CH4
separation, and it is hypothesized that this is due to a lack of intersegmental mobility distinction between the two isomeric TR polymers. The TR polymers derived from the polyimides with acetate ortho-functional groups had significantly better
gas separation properties than ones derived from the precursor with hydroxyl ortho-functional groups.
Polybenzimidazoles were also investigated for use as
gas separation membranes. Polybenzimidazoles are some of the most thermally stable polymers. However, commercial polybenzimidazoles do not have good solubility in common solvents. The solubility issue was solved by incorporating sulfonyl linkages into the polybenzimidazole backbone using a 3,3',4,4'-tetraaminodiphenylsulfone (TADPS) monomer. 3,3',4,4'-Tetraaminodiphenylsulfone was synthesized by a novel route with higher overall yield and less steps than the traditional synthetic method. The TADPS based polybenzimidazoles also demonstrated better thermal stability than commercial polybenzimidazole. The meta/para oriented isomer effect on
gas transport properties is discussed. TADPS-based polybenzimidazoles exhibited H2/CO2
gas separation properties near or surpassing the upper bound with H2 permeabilities from 3.6 to 5.7 Barrer and selectivities from 10.1 to 32.2 at 35 °C.

▼ Carbon dioxide capture from various gas streams such as nitrogen-rich flue gas and methane-rich natural gas has gained escalating interests worldwide due to the ever-increasing environmental concern over the greenhouse effect. Energy-efficient strategies for mitigating carbon emission urgently need microporous adsorbents that show high selectivities towards CO2. Highly selective separation of small molecules such as carbon capture relevant gases (i.e. CO2, N2, and CH4) as well as other industrial important gases is difficult to achieve if all of the molecules can access the internal surface of an adsorbent so that the selectivity depends only on differences in interaction of these molecules with the surface. Obviously, a steric separation mechanism such as that relying on molecular size can provide higher selectivities. Very few candidate molecular sieving adsorbents, however, have been developed for this purpose because of the closeness in size between these molecules. The objective of this study is to develop a new class of adsorbents that embody a new mechanism to achieve “molecular sieving” level selectivity for challenging gas separations including carbon capture.
Zeolites are ideal candidate adsorbents to accomplish steric-type separations at the molecular level. This thesis investigated one type of zeolite framework (chabazite) that has pores commensurate with the size of the molecules to be separated. We first investigated encapsulation of small molecules such as N2 and CH4 in a potassium-exchanged chabazite zeolite. By performing adsorption measurements, Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) experiments, and designed gas uptake and release experiments, we revealed that a potassium chabazite zeolite with silicon-to-aluminium ratio of 2.2 can act as a nanocontainer to store N2 and CH4 by a temperature controlled “valve”. The cation type and cation density constitute the structural determining factors responsible for this behaviour. This work provides a promising material for gas storage superior in terms of mild working conditions (i.e. relatively low working temperature and pressure) and also suggests that chabazite could admit gas molecules in a controlled manner, making it promising for high performance gas separation.
Stimulated by the apparent paradox encountered in the gas encapsulation work – a gas molecule could penetrate a pore aperture nearly completely blocked by cation, we studied the underlying physical mechanism of this process by a combination of experimental and computational approaches, including single component gas adsorption, solid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction of adsorption, binary gas adsorption, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that a cation-kept zeolite aperture exclusively admits certain molecules regardless of size. We demonstrated this mechanism by…

▼ Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes are an advanced class of membrane materials useful for many different
gas-pair separations. One drawback of CMS membranes, as with many membranes, is a tendency for performance to decrease over time, termed physical aging. This work sheds light on the physical mechanism controlling physical aging in polyimide-derived CMS membranes and explores several techniques to minimize the effects.

▼ Thermally rearranged polymers are formed from the solid-state thermal reaction of polyimides and polyamides that contain reactive groups ortho position to their diamine. These polymers have shown outstanding transport properties for
gas separation applications. The thrust of this work is to critically examine the chemical and morphological structure of these polymers and to identify the fundamental contributions of
gas sorption to permeability. To accomplish this goal, a series of TR polymers and TR polymer precursors have been synthesized and investigated for transport properties. As a function of conversion, diffusivity increases more dramatically than sorption, which explains the outstanding permeabilities observed for these samples. Modifications to the polymer backbone structure, which can be achieved by adding rigid functional groups such as hexafluoroisopropylidene-functional linking groups, can further be used to improve permeabilities. The precursor used to form TR polymers has dramatic effects on the final polymer transport properties. Despite having nearly identical polymer structure, TR polymers formed from polyamide precursors have lower combinations of permeability and selectivity than TR polymers formed from polyimide precursors. In addition to structure-property studies with TR polymers, this thesis also present comparisons of permeability, diffusivity, and sorption of sparingly soluble gases (i.e., hydrogen and helium) for hydrocarbon-based polymer, highly fluorinated polymers, perfluoropolymers, and a silicon-based polymer. An explanation for the unique transport properties of perfluoropolymers is presented from the standpoint of the solution-diffusion model, whereby perfluoropolymers have uniquely different solubility selectivities than hydrocarbon-based polymers. Additionally, a large database of sorption, diffusion, and permeability coefficients is used to determine the contributions of free volume on solubility selectivity in polymers.

▼ Most natural
gas fields in Saudi Arabia contain around 10 mol.% carbon dioxide. The present technology to remove carbon dioxide is performed by chemical absorption, which has many drawbacks. Alternatively, membrane-based
gas separation technology has attracted great interest in recent years due to: (i) simple modular design, (ii) potential cost effectiveness, (iii) ease of scale-up, and (iv) environmental friendliness. The state-of-the-art membrane materials for natural
gas sweetening are glassy cellulose acetate and polyimide, which were introduced in the 1980s. In the near future, the kingdom is planning to boost its production of natural
gas for power generation and increase the feedstock for new petrochemical plants. Therefore, the kingdom and worldwide market has an urgent need for better membrane materials to remove carbon dioxide from raw natural
gas.
The focus of this dissertation was to design new polyimide membrane materials for CO2/CH4
separation exhibiting high permeability and high selectivity relative to the standard commercial materials tested under realistic mixed-
gas feed conditions. Furthermore, this study provided a fundamental understanding of structure/
gas transport property relationships of triptycene-based PIM-polyimides. Optimally designed intrinsically microporous polyimide (PIM-PIs) membranes in this work exhibited drastically increased CO2/CH4 selectivities of up to ~75. In addition, a novel triptycene-based hydroxyl-containing polyimide (TDA1-APAF) showed 5-fold higher permeabilities over benchmark commercial materials such as cellulose acetate. Furthermore, this polyimide had a N2/CH4 selectivity of 2.3, thereby making it possible to simultaneously treat CO2- and N2-contaminated natural
gas. Also, TDA1-APAF showed a CO2 permeability of 21 Barrer under binary 1:1 CO2/CH4 mixed-
gas feed with a selectivity of 72 at a partial CO2 pressure of 10 bar which are significantly better than cellulose triacetate. These results suggest that TDA1-APAF polyimide is an excellent candidate membrane material for removal of CO2 and N2 from natural
gas. Moreover, based on the collected data for CO2/CH4 mixed-
gas experiments from this work and previously published reports, a new mixed-
gas 2017 CO2/CH4 permeability/selectivity upper bound curve was initiated to reflect the actual performance including plasticization phenomena at high feed pressure and 10 bar CO2 partial pressure to simulate the real conditions of the wellhead pressure.

▼ Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous framework materials with tunable pore size and functionality, and hence attractive for
gas separation membrane applications. Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs), a subclass of MOFs, are known for their high thermal and chemical stability. ZIF-8 has demonstrated potential to kinetically separate propane/propene in powder and membrane form. ZIF-8 membranes propane-propene
separation performance is superior in comparison to polymer, mixed matrix and carbon membranes.
The overarching theme of my research is to address challenges that hinder fabrication of MOF membranes on a commercial scale and in a reproducible and scalable manner. 1. Current approaches, are specific to a given ZIF, a general synthesis route is not available. Use of multiple steps for surface modification or seeding causes reproducibility and scalability issues. 2. Conventional fabrication techniques are batch processes, thereby limiting their commercialization. Here we demonstrate two new approaches that can potentially address these challenges.
First, we report one step in situ synthesis of ZIF-8 membranes on more commonly used porous α-alumina supports. By incorporating sodium formate in the in situ growth solution, well intergrown ZIF-8 membranes were synthesized on unmodified supports. The mechanism by which sodium formate promotes heterogeneous nucleation was investigated. Sodium formate reacts with zinc source to form zinc oxide layer, which in turn promotes heterogeneous nucleation. Sodium formate promotes heterogeneous nucleation in other ZIF systems as well, leading to ZIF-7, Zn(Im)2 (ZIF-61 analogue), ZIF-90, and SIM-1 films. Thus one step in situ growth using sodium formate provides a simplified, reproducible and potentially general route for ZIF film fabrication.
One step in situ route, although advantageous; is still conventional in nature and batch process with long synthesis time. This limits commercialization, due to scalability and manufacturing cost issues. Taking advantage of coordination chemistry of MOFs and using temperature as driving force, continuous well-intergrown membranes of HKUST-1 and ZIF-8 in relatively short time (15 min) using Rapid Thermal Deposition (RTD). With minimum precursor consumption and simplified synthesis protocol, RTD provides potential for a continuous, scalable, reproducible and commercializable route for MOF membrane fabrication. RTD-prepared MOF membranes show improved
separation performances, indicating improved microstructure.

▼ The main objective of this work is the development of continuous crystalline microporous molecular sieve membranes to separate Kr/Xe and air/Xe
gas mixtures. Specifically, for Kr/Xe
separation we demonstrate that ZIF-8 and AlPO-18 membranes can effectively separate Kr/Xe
gas mixtures. For air/Xe
separation, we demonstrate the first examples of any porous crystalline membrane to separate air/Xe
gas mixtures. In the case of Kr/Xe
separation, the best ZIF-8 membranes separated Kr/Xe mixtures with Kr permeances as high as 50.8 GPU and
separation selectivities as high as 16.1. AlPO-18 membranes showed the highest Kr/Xe
separation selectivity of 7.9 and an unprecedented Kr permeance as high as 940 GPU. For air/Xe
separation we demonstrate that ZIF-8 and SAPO-34 membranes can separate this
gas mixture effectively. Specifically, our best ZIF-8 membranes showed air permeances as high as 118 GPU and
separation selectivities as high as 12.4 for air/Xe
gas mixtures. SAPO-34 membranes’ air/Xe
separation performance exceeded that of ZIF-8, showing air permeances as high as 690 GPU and
separation selectivities of 30.1. Molecular sieving, competitive adsorption, and differences in diffusivities were identified as the
separation mechanisms for both
gas mixtures. Among these mechanisms, molecular sieving and differences in diffusivities were the dominant mechanisms leading to Kr and air selective membranes. This work represents one of the first known examples of microporous crystalline membranes with molecular sieving properties to separate Kr/Xe and air/Xe
gas mixtures. The proposed
separation technology represents an attractive alternative route to cryogenic distillation, typically employed to separate these gases.

▼ Porous organic polymers (POPs) received great attention in recent years because of their novel properties such as permanent porosity, adjustable chemical nature, and remarkable thermal and chemical stability. These attractive features make POPs very promising candidates for use in
gas separation and storage applications. In particular, CO
2 capture and
separation from
gas mixtures by POPs have been intensively investigated in recent years because of the greenhouse nature of CO
2, which is considered a leading cause for global warming. CO
2 chemical absorption by amine solutions from the flue
gas of coal-fired power plants suffers from several challenges such as high-energy consumption in desorption, chemical instability, volatility, and corrosive nature, limiting the widespread use of this technology. To mitigate these limitations, new adsorbents with improved CO
2 capturing properties need to be designed, synthesized, and tested. Alternatively, the use of cleaner fuels such as methane can reduce CO
2 release or completely eliminates it in the case of hydrogen. However, the on-board storage of methane and hydrogen for automotive applications remains a great challenge.
With these considerations in mind, our research goals in this dissertation focus on the systematic design and synthesis of N-rich POPs and their use in small
gas (H
2 and CH
4) storage as well as selective CO
2 capture from
gas mixtures. In particular, we have studied the effect of integrating pyrene and triazine building units into benzimidazole-linked polymers (BILPs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) on
gas storage and
separation. We have found that pyrene-based BILPs exhibit remarkable selective CO
2 capturing capacities under industrial settings (VAS, PSA). However the methane and hydrogen storage capacities of BILPs were found to be only modest especially at high pressure due to their moderate surface area and pore volume. We addressed these limitations by the synthesis of a highly porous imine-linked COF (ILCOF-1), which has very high surface area and improved hydrogen and methane uptakes when compared to BILPs. We have demonstrated that the use of pyrene in BILPs and COFs can direct frameworks growth through - stacking and improve porosity and pore volume whereas the use of triazine is instrumental in improving the binding affinity of the frameworks towards CO
2.

▼ Accurate hydrate phase equilibria and vapor-liquid equilibria predictions are critical to the safe and economic design of flow assurance,
gas processing, and seawater desalination technologies. Inaccurate predictions of vapor-liquid equilibria can also lead to erroneous hydrate phase equilibria predictions. Hydrate phase equilibria predictions typically use the classical van der Waals and Platteeuw (vdWP) model based on statistical thermodynamics, with some modifications (e.g. CSMGem, with Gibbs Energy Minimization). In this thesis work, the vdWP model with Gibbs Energy Minimization algorithm was developed in Matlab. The developed algorithm was evaluated by first investigating the effect of hydrogen (H2) concentration on the phase equilibria of sH hydrate (i.e. H2O+CH4+H2+methylcyclohexane (MCH) quaternary systems). The predictions were shown to be in close agreement with experimental phase equilibria measurements. Cage occupancies of methane and hydrogen in sH hydrate were predicted to increase with increasing pressure, and the extent of occupation was found to be dependent on the methane: hydrogen ratio in the feed
gas. Current hydrate phase equilibria predictions (using different models, e.g. CSMGem, Multiflash and PVTsim) for inhibited systems in subsea pipelines (with salts, e.g. NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, also thermodynamic hydrate inhibitors (THIs), e.g. methanol, monoethylene glycol) exhibit large errors. The unavailability of phase equilibria data and absence of an association equation of state in CSMGem leads to problems in predicting the phase equilibria of associating fluids and inhibited systems. Therefore, the current CSMGem model is not reliable for predicting these inhibited systems. Such thermodynamic calculations are critical to flow assurance and desalination process design. To overcome these limitations this work revisited the fluid model and a new fluid model is proposed for phase equilibria predictions; an association equation of state has been developed and applied to predict fluid phase properties for a wide range of hydrocarbons (low to high MWt), polar components and electrolytes (salts). Five parameters of the association equation of state were determined for the associating components by simultaneous minimization of absolute errors in saturated liquid densities and vapor pressures, with comparisons to experimental data. In order to predict the phase equilibria of
gas hydrates without inhibitors, the proposed association equation of state needs to be tuned with vapor-liquid equilibria. In this thesis work experimental hydrate phase equilibria and vapor-liquid equilibria data (over a range of temperature, pressure and composition) were collated and utilized to tune the fluid and hydrate models. Binary interaction parameters were optimized for a range of hydrate formers, including methane, ethane, nitrogen and hydrogen in combination with all other available hydrocarbons. Different equations of state were also used to predict the vapor-liquid equilibria for mixtures of methane, ethane, nitrogen and…
