On comparing permeation through Matrimid®-based mixed matrix and multilayer sandwich FAU membranes: H2/CO2 separation, support functionalization and ion exchange
Supported NaX membrane layers are evaluated in H2/CO2 separation. Support modification is decisive for separation performance. Cation-exchanged FAU powder is used as filler in Mixed Matrix Membranes (MMMs). Substituting Na+ by two-valence ions like Co2+ in MMMs increases H2/CO2 separability.
