SEPARATION OF CO2/CH4 USING POLYMERIC MEMBRANES - REVIEW
Abstract
Separation of CO /CH mixture is widely done efficient separation of mixture into desired components unit processes and unit operation had 2 4 been developed with passage of time. Sometimes using conventional technologies. CO2 when carried along with CH4 can cause additional cost of pumping. Most commonly used technique like cryogenic separation, adsorption and absorption are used for decades for separation of CO2 form CH4.Membrane has been developing technology for separation of CO2 from CO2/CH4 mixture. The current paper focuses on the overview of membrane for separation of CO2/CH4 mixture. Along with this different polymeric membrane and their properties have also been discussed. Membrane transport theory of gases is also described. Potential of membranes as future separation technology is described in comprehensive manner.References (13)
