Adewole J. K. :Membrane Separation of CO2 from Natural Gas
1
RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION DESIGN © 2012 www.PosterPresentations.com Natural gas (NG) processing and membrane technology are two very important fields that are of great significance due to increasing demand for energy as well as gas mixtures separation. While NG is projected to be the number one primary source of energy by 2050, membrane separation is a commercially successful competitor to other separation techniques for energy efficient gas purification processes (Qiu et al., 2011). Most of the NG produced in the world is coproduced with acid gases such as CO 2 which need to be removed to increase the caloric value of NG. A comprehensive review of research efforts in CO 2 separation from natural gas is required to capture details of the current scientific and technological progresses on the development of new membrane materials with tailored gas transport properties, and the improvement of properties of the existing ones. This paper presents the progresses that have been achieved in the area of material science and engineering to eliminate the limitations that dominate the large scale application of membrane materials at the present time. Research efforts in material development in the context of the break through and challenges that exist for major industrial applications of membrane in CO 2 removal from NG are reported.
