Permeability and selectivity study for polyethersulfone membrane for gas separation

An symmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane were prepared through a dry/wet phase inversion process. The casting solution developed in this research consisted of PES, 1-methyl-2-pyrolidone (NMP) and methanol. The turbidity test was carried out to find an ideal weight percentage of casting solution....

Different coating agent gave different rate of permeate while higher polymer concentration increased the permeation rate. The PES membrane coated with PDMS showed higher selectivity compared to uncoated membrane and membrane coated with bromine solution. The selectivity of CO2/CH4 was approximately 2.77, at 26.58wt% of PES concentration coated with 3wt% of PDMS. It was believed that different coating agent strongly affects the membrane performance as well as the polymer concentration. 2009-04 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/759/1/Zuriah_Binti_Ismail.pdf Zuriah, Ismail (2009) Permeability and selectivity study for polyethersulfone membrane for gas separation.
