| Abstract | Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was blended with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to improve its separation performance for propylene dehumidification. In this study, molecular simulation was employed to investigate the effect of the PAA content on the properties and separation performance of the membranes. Membrane properties such as density, interaction energy between polymer chains, fractional free volume (FFV), and glass transition temperature (Tg) were analyzed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The adsorption amounts and sites in the membranes were calculated by the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method. The diffusion process of gas molecules through membranes was also studied both qualitatively and quantitatively by the Einstein relationship. The simulation results showed that the blend membrane exhibits better adsorption performance but lower diffusion coefficient of penetrants than the PVA control membrane. Furthermore, PVA control and PVA–PAA blend membranes were prepared experimentally. The adsorption and separation performance were evaluated. It was found that the changing trend of adsorption was consistent with that of simulation results. The PVA–PAA blend membrane exhibits better separation performance and permeation rate than the PVA control membrane. The permeation rate of gas feed first increased, and then fell down with the increase of the PAA content because of the rate-determining step changed from adsorption to diffusion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
