“…Phenolic resins are desirable precursors to prepare CMSMs, since they present the advantage of being inexpensive and possess high carbon yield [14,15,22], withstanding elevated temperatures without losing their shape. They are very stable, with a high glass transition temperature, decomposing before achieving their melting point, assuring this way a resultant defect-free carbon structure.…”

Supported composite alumina-carbon molecular sieve membranes (c-CMSM) were prepared from in house prepared novolac phenolic resin loaded with boehmite nanoparticles in a single dipping-drying-carbonization step. A porous a-alumina tube support was dipped into a N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution containing polymerized novolac resin loaded with boehmite, subsequently dried at 100 o C and carbonized at 500 o C under nitrogen environment. The structure, morphology and performance of the membranes were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), carbon dioxide adsorption and permeation of N2, O2, He, H2 and CO2. SEM showed carbon membranes with a thin and very uniform layer with a thickness of ca. 3 m CO2 adsorption isotherms indicated that the produced carbon membranes presented a micro-porous structure. The c-CMSM exhibited good gas separation properties. The permselectivity surpass the Robeson upper bound for polymeric membranes, especially regarding ideal permselectivities of pairs H2/N2 = 117, and He/O2 = 49. Aging effects were observed after membrane exposure to ambient air.However with a thermal treatment under nitrogen atmosphere the permeance of nitrogen increases.

“…The reader is referred to [3,4] for the detailed overview on mathematical modeling of multicomponent membrane gas separation.It is clear that for correct analysis of this membrane gas separation flow processes, high computational effort is necessary. Maximum mathematical models proposed in the past were comprehensive models are based on ordinary differential equation, whose numerical values generally showed good agreement to experimental results [3][4][5][6][7][8]. The aim in this article is to explore the influence of different numerical methods on the dynamic and stationary behavior of a membrane gas separation model.…”

“…Extensive research has been done on various kinds of membranes including carbon molecular sieves [8], polymers [9], zeolites [10], and facilitated transport membranes [11]. Polymeric and polymeric-composite membranes are one of the major interesting media which are studied in propylene separation from an olefin-paraffin mixture.…”

Separation of light olefin-paraffin mixtures having the same carbon number is one of the most energy-intensive separation processes in petrochemical industry. Gas-liquid membrane contactors as an alternative to conventional processes have gained increasing interest due to low energy consumption. A 2D comprehensive model was developed to predict the transport and chemical absorption of propylene in a cocurrent microporous membrane contactor. Formations of a complex between propylene and silver ion and dissolution of silver nitrate were considered. With increasing gas flow rate the system efficiency decreases due to the reduction of propylene residence time inside the contactor. As the absorbent amount increases in the tube, both propylene and complex penetrate more deeply into the liquid and a diffusion layer is formed near the gas-liquid interface.
