Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane containing hydrophobic silica nanoparticles for CO2 absorption from CO2/N2 using membrane contactor

The separation of carbon dioxide from CO2/N2 gas mixture using membrane-absorption technology has been investigated. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane was prepared using phase inversion method with N, N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as the solvent and monoethanolamine (20 wt%) was used as the car...
