Abstract

Polycondensation material PIM-1 has attracted the attention of researchers owing to its high transport parameters in gas separation and a high free volume. The pervaporation characteristics of PIM-1 have been systematically studied. Lower aliphatic alcohols (CH3OH, C2H5OH, and n-C4H9OH) and water were selected as objects of research. The rates of mass transfer for individual components at various temperatures have been estimated, and for the ethanol-water binary mixture, the process of separation has been examined. The films based on the polymer under study exhibit the properties of organophilic membranes and are characterized by high permeability with respect to alcohols. The apparent activation energy of permeability is low. This behavior is common for pervaporation membranes based on glassy polymers with a high free volume. The parameters of separation for the water-alcohol mixture surpass corresponding values for typical organophilic membranes based on PDMS. These parameters are commensurable with the values observed for membranes based on poly(trimethylsilylpropyne). At the same time, PIM-1 does not demonstrate a rapid decrease in permeability in the course of time.
