| Abstract: | A selective surface flow (SSF) membrane consisting of a thin layer of a nanoporous carbon was produced in a tubular form using a macroporous alumina support. The membrane was tested for hydrogen enrichment applications. Simulated waste gases from a petrochemical refinery and a hydrogen pressure swing adsorption unit were used as the feed gas to the membrane. Very high rejections of C1C3 hydrocarbons (saturated and unsaturated) and carbon dioxide over hydrogen were exhibited by the membrane at low feed gas pressures. The hydrogen enriched stream was produced at the feed gas pressure.The separation characteristics of a polymeric poly-trimethylsilylpropyne (PTMSP) membrane in a tubular form was also tested for the same applications using identical conditions of operation. This membrane also selectively rejected heavier components of the feed gas mixture over hydrogen and produced the hydrogen enriched stream at the feed gas pressure. The SSF membrane exhibited much higher hydrogen recovery and hydrocarbon rejections than the PTMSP membrane for these applications under identical conditions of operations using identical support materials. |
