Permeability and selectivity study of natural gas with CO2, N2, and O2 using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane

The permeability and the selectivity of CH4, CO2, N2, and O2 were determined in a polymer membrane prepared from 8% weight ratio PAN powder and 92% weight ratio of dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent, commercially known as Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. Flat sheet membrane with an average thickn...
