Figure 6. Comparison of a membrane unit with a conventional separation process (i.e., amine absorption system) for removing CO2 from natural gas. This figure shows the mechanical simplicity of membrane systems as well as their space efficiency relative to other separation processes. Courtesy of Air Liquide. At a molecular level, a variety of mechanisms influence the separation of gases by a membrane (see the sidebar “Membrane Transport Mechanisms”). For example, in polymer membranes, the most widely-used industrial membranes for gas separations, gas molecules are separated according to their relative solubility and diffusivity in the polymer (see the sidebar “Solution-Diffusion Mechanism”). Most polymer membranes currently employed sieve small gas molecules based on size; smaller molecules have higher diffusion coefficients and, in turn, higher permeability coefficients.4 This size sieving gives the order of gas permeability illustrated in Figure 7, which depicts smaller molecules as being faster (i.e., having higher permeability coefficients) than larger molecules. Membranes have also been developed that can separate gas molecules based on the relative solubilities of the gases in polymers, with more soluble gases being more permeable than those with lower solubility.5,6 Gas solubility in a polymer often scales with the critical temperature of the gas.4 Such polymers are used industrially to remove organic vapors from air or nitrogen streams7,8 because the membranes are more permeable to the larger, more soluble organic compounds than to the smaller, less soluble air gases. Similarly, polymer membranes that are more permeable to CO2 than to H2 are being explored to separate CO2 from mixtures with H2.9 A gas separation membrane typically consists of multiple layers with different functions. A dense, defect-free ultrathin selective layer, of the order of 100 nm in thickness or less, performs the molecular separation, while a microporous support structure (substructure) provides mechanical strength and minimal transport resistance. A challenge in making membranes is that the selective layer must be very thin to achieve high flux; and as membranes get thinner, it becomes progressively more difficult to prepare them in a defect- free fashion, that is, with no pinholes or other defects that allow convective (i.e., 26PDF Image | 2020 Carbon Capture
