Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are brought up as prospecting media to sweeten natural gas in recent decades. But the majority of experiments have conducted on CO 2 /CH 4 gas pair separation and, H 2 S removal from CH 4 through MMMs has been paid less consideration. Thereupon, polycarbonate (PC) permeability and permselectivity as a cheap and abundant polymer and two PC-based MMMs were investigated under various operational conditions for this gas couple. The in uence of operational parameters including transmembrane pressure, feed temperature, H 2 S inlet concentration and physical aging on the permeability of mixed gas and selectivity of the H 2 S/CH 4 pair were assessed. It was observed that addition of silica nano particles causes more H 2 S permeability and selectivity. As a result, it can be used for methane upgradation. Membranes fabricated of silica modi ed by PDMS showed the highest permeability of H 2 S and also the superior selectivity of H 2 S/CH 4 . Therefore, it could be possibly applied to mitigation of H 2 S concentration in the outlet gas stream. Additionally, the two fabricated MMMs demonstrated H 2 S transport in a facilitative manner.
