ABSTRACT:A new membrane material having two kinds of CO 2 carriers was obtained. Composite membranes were prepared with the material and support membranes. The facilitated transport of CO 2 through these membranes was performed with pure CH 4 and CO 2 as well as CH 4 /CO 2 mixtures containing 50 vol % CO 2 . The results show that the membranes possess better CO 2 permeance than that of other fixed carrier membranes reported in the literature. In the measurements with pure gases, at 26°C, 0.013 atm of CO 2 pressure, the membrane with polysulfone support displays a CO 2 permeance of 7.93 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 cm 3 /cm 2 s cmHg and CO 2 /CH 4 ideal selectivity of 212.1. In the measurements with mixed gases, at 26°C, 0.016 atm of CO 2 partial pressure, the membrane displays a CO 2 permeance of 1.69 ϫ 10 Ϫ4 cm 3 /cm 2 s cmHg and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of 48.1.
