Selective Surface Flow Membrane for Gas Separation

, &
Pages 2081-2093 | Published online: 15 Feb 2007
 

Abstract

The selective surface flow membrane is a nanoporous carbon membrane which separates gas mixtures by a selective adsorption–surface diffusion–desorption mechanism. It selectively permeates the larger and the more polar components of a feed gas mixture. The separation characteristics of several different gas mixtures by the membrane are described. The membrane has been field-tested at a refinery site for separation of hydrocarbon–hydrogen mixtures.
