Aromatic polyamide (PA)/MIL-96-(Al) mixed-matrix membrane was fabricated and explored for gas separation (CH4, N2, O2 and CO2) performances. Mixed-matrix formulation is a promising method to overcome permeability-selectivity trade-off of polymer with incorporation of filler. The filler properties play a key role in determining the performance of mixed-matrix membrane (MMM). MMMs were prepared by nanoscale aluminum trimesate MIL-96-(Al) filler with Semi fluorinated polyamide (PA) at 3%, 6% and 12% weight percent of loading fillers. The 12 wt% nanoscale MIL-96 incorporated MMM showed CO2 permeability to 120 Barrer and CO2/CH4 selectivity to 24. Nanoporous fillers in MMMs contributed to enhance the CO2/CH4 separation performance compared to pristine membrane. Nanoscale MIL-96 filler uniformly incorporated into polyamide (PA) matrix confirmed by SEM images. This study provides a feasibly pathway for the development of efficient and high performances separation membranes.
