Pore Model Prediction of CH4 Separation from H2S using PTMSP and γ -Alumina Membranes
The main aim of this work is to develop a model of hydrogen sulfide (HS) separation from natural gas by using membrane separation technology. The model is developed by incorporating three diffusion mechanisms which are Knudsen, viscous and surface diffusion towards membran...
