The ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate treated with radiofrequency plasma is proposed for functionalization and immobilization on polyethersulfone supports to form supported ionic liquid membranes for CO 2 separation. The effects of treatment time and transmembrane pressure difference on CO 2 permeance were evaluated. The best gas permeation performance was obtained with a treatment time of 10 min and the transmembrane pressure difference was 0.25 MPa. Characterization of the materials by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrates that the IL is grafted with carboxyl groups and deprotonated through plasma treatment. A preliminary mechanism for the plasma treatment and facilitated transport of CO 2 has been proposed on this basis.
