Abstract
The permeation properties of H2-CO mixtures through a high-flux asymmetric polyimide membrane are studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental results measured with miniature module-equipped hollow fibers indicate the advantage of countercurrent flow pattern. The calculation model used for the analysis of the conventional symmetric membrane can predict the gas separation performance. However, the model is necessary to take the longitudinal mixing into account for analyzing the experimental results measured with a pilot scale module.Keywords
