Abstract
Separation of gaseous mixture of CO2 and CH4 was carried out using composite microporous glass membrane on ceramic tubing of which permeability are greater than that of the composite membrane by a factor of 108.
The maximum separation. factor was obtained with composite membrane made, of casting solution of which ratio of B2O3 and SiO2 was 1/4.
Composite membrane coated less than 5 times shows no ability of separation.
Carbon dioxide seems permeate through composite membrane obtained with decreased content of B2O3 (B2O3 : SiO2= 1 : 14) by the surface diffusion mechanism on the pore.
