Abstract
Abstract Polyetherimide (PEI) was used as polymeric precursor to prepare selective carbon molecular sieve (CMS) layer supported by a porous Al2O3 ceramic disk. The effects of the porous structure and surface roughness of the ceramic support on the interfacial adhesion and texture of the PEI/Al2O3-derived composite CMS membrane were investigated by modulating the sintering temperature and holding time. When the surface roughness of the ceramic support increased, the pore size and its distribution of the selective CMS layer were found to have shifted to the larger one and its roughness increased from the top to the bottom surface. This structure resulted in high permeability and low selectivity. Our results indicate that the porous structure of the ceramic support also played an important role in dominating the pore size and its distribution of the selective CMS layer, which influences the gas separation performance.
