Membrane gas separation is considered an energy-saving technique to extract He from natural gas due to no phase change and room temperature operation.However,the membrane performance was strongly limited by the trade-off between permeance and selectivity.Herein,novel 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride(6FDA)-2,2'-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane(APAF)-5-amino-2-(4-aminobenzene)benzimidazole(BIA)asymmetric membranes with a thickness of 300 nm were successfully prepared by the non-solvent induced phase separation method.The membrane performance was modulated by regulating dope solution compositions(e.g.,tetrahydrofuran and polymer concentration).The ideal He/CH4 selectivity was 124 and the optimized He permeance reached 87 GPU,beyond the current upper bound.He/CH4 selectivity was 75 and He permeance was 73 GPU for the binary mixture feed containing 0.2 mol%He.The membrane showed good resistance to CO2 and C2H6,which are the typical impurities in natural gas.The 6FDA-APAF-BIA membranes have good stability(>160 h),which can provide great potential in He extraction from natural gas.
