Abstract
A new production concept of carbon molecular sieve membranes modules is described. The supported membrane synthesis process allows for industrial production with uniform and reproducible properties, using flat membranes as a starting precursor. The corresponding membrane modules are made in a honeycomb configuration, leading to high packing density and thermochemical stability. Some of the carbon membranes produced for use in these modules are characterized. Species H2, O2, N2, CO2 and SF6 were used in monocomponent adsorption and permeation experiments to obtain adsorption equilibrium and permeation data. High permeabilities were attained in combination with high selectivities. The pore size distribution of the membrane was determined. A number of complementary morphological and structural characterizations were also performed.
