Upgrading low quality natural gas with Co2 selective polymers membrane

The aim of this research is to determine the most suitable polymer membrane between polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and hybrid polymer membrane of polysulfone (PSU) and polyethersulfone (PES) for separating CO2 from crude natural gas. These polymers are mixed with suitable so...
