- Abstract
Magnetic mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs) are fabricated using polysulfone (PSf) and iron oxide (Fe) for O2/N2 separation. The effects of Fe nanoparticle size and content on the performance of the membranes are investigated using a novel gas permeation unit in the presence of various magnetic fields. The results indicate that the O2 permeation is improved by adding Fe nanoparticles into the PSf matrix regardless of the particle size. Furthermore, the selectivity of PSf and PSf‐Fe membranes is considerably enhanced by applying a magnetic field during the permeation experiments. The O2 permeability and O2/N2 selectivity of PSf‐Fe50 MMMs in the presence of a magnetic field are higher than those of neat PSf membranes.
