High‐temperature CO₂ removal from CH₄ using silica membrane: experimental and neural network modeling

Abstract

Inorganic membranes can operate under harsh conditions. However, successful synthesis of inorganic membranes is still challenging, and its performance depends on many factors. This work reports the effect of dip‐coating duration, inlet pressure, and inlet flow rate on the flux, permeability, and selectivity of silica membranes. A silica membrane was prepared by the deposition of silica sol onto porous alumina support. The permeability test was conducted at 100 °C using a single gas of CO2 and CH4. The highest flux was observed at the maximum inlet pressure and inlet flow rate for the membrane prepared at the minimum dip‐coating duration. The neural network modeling of the membrane predicted permeabilities showed a considerably high validity regression (R ≈ 0.99) of the predicted data linked to the experimental sets. The separation factor (α) was the highest at the maximum dip‐coating duration. The synthesized silica membrane has potential for CO2/CH4 separation under harsh operating conditions. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An ethynyl-modified interpenetrated metal–organic framework for highly efficient selective gas adsorption

“…The theoretical simulation results show that compound 1 has a higher separation ability for the mixture of carbon dioxide and methane than Cu-MOF 55 and some other materials. 56,57 As shown in Fig. 4, under the conditions of 298 K and 760 mmHg, the separation ratios of the mixture of equimolar C 2 H 2 /CO 2 , C 2 H 2 /CH 4 , C 2 H 4 /CH 4 , C 2 H 6 /CH 4 , and C 3 H 8 /CH 4 of compound 1 are 4.2, 14.3, 17.3, 25.5, and 204.7, respectively (Fig.…”

Harnessing the power of machine learning for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) – a state-of-the-art review

“…In the section 3, we have reviewed and discussed the research of applying ML in CO 2 capture, which includes CO 2 absorption, CO 2 adsorption, oxyfuel combustion, calcium looping and chemical looping combustion. There is also work on ML in membrane for CO 2 separation which is detailed elsewhere [158][159][160] . The captured CO 2 needs to be transported from the capture points to the storage sites.…”

Reaction Mechanism of Wollastonite In Situ Mineral Carbonation for CO2 Sequestration: Effects of Saline Conditions, Temperature, and Pressure

“…Global warming has been considered as one of the severe threats to humankind over the last decades. It is caused partially by the uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), from anthropogenic sources . There is a recognized need to reduce the uncontrolled emission of CO 2 into the atmosphere to mitigate the harmful effects such as global warming. , Some primary alternatives are adopted for the moderation of atmospheric CO 2 emissions.…”
