Description
A Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) membrane, in order to test separation of propylene and propane gases, was subjected to increases in feed pressure, varied propylene feed composition, and temperature changes to determine how these factors affect permeance and selectivity.

A Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) membrane, in order to test separation of propylene and propane gases, was subjected to increases in feed pressure, varied propylene feed composition, and temperature changes to determine how these factors affect permeance and selectivity. This membrane was prepared on a support made of α-alumina and γ-alumina supports. Feed pressure was increased between 30 and 100psi, and propylene and propane permeance decreased, as did the selectivity. Propylene feed composition increases resulted in an order of magnitude increase in propane permeance, but a decrease in propylene permeance, and a decrease in selectivity. Increases in temperature resulted in increases of propylene and propane permeance, but a decrease in selectivity.
