    Membrane separation works by exploiting differences in gas permeation rates through polymeric, ceramic, or metallic membranes. Gases permeate through membranes via mechanisms like sorption, diffusion, and sieving effects, driven by partial pressure gradients across the membrane. Membranes can separate low molecular weight gases like hydrogen and carbon dioxide from mixtures at pressures up to 100 bar. Common membrane materials include PDMS, PS, PES, ceramics for Knudsen diffusion, and Pd/Ag alloys. Applications include hydrogen/methane separation, and removing carbon dioxide, organics from air, or enriching nitrogen from air.

    Separation mechanism:

    different velocity of gas permeation (sorption, diffusion, sieving effect, desorption)

    • Driving force: partial pressure gradient.

    • Working pressure: up to 100 bar. Non-porous polymeric membranes:


    PDMS(polydimethylsulphoxan),PS(polysulphone),PES.

    • Ceramic Membranes (small pores for Knudsen).

    • Metallic membranes (Pd and Ag alloys).

    process

    In the process as shown in fig. The feed gas at high pressure Pl contains some low molecular weight
    species (molecular weight <50) to be separated from small amounts of high molecular weight species.

    The other side of the membrane is maintained at much lower pressure P2 often near ambient pressure
    the membrane used is micro pores perm selectivity for certain low molecular weight species in the feed
    gas(species A)

    If the membrane is dense these species are absorbed at the surface and then transported though the
    membrane by one or mechanism.

    Thus perm selectivity depends on both membrane adsorption and membrane transport rate.

    In this process perfect separation is generally not achievable, If the difference of molecular weight of
    substance is near by.

    Application:

    •Separation of hydrogen from methane,

    • Removal of carbon dioxide,

    • Removal of organic solvent from air,

    • Nitrogen enrichment from air.
