Adsorption Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in Polymer-Inorganic Powder Composite Materials

One of the major problems in modern society is the huge demand for energy which has as a consequence an enormous amount of waste gas production. CompositeComposites materials based on polyethylene oxide matrix and inorganic zeolite powders have been observed to show good properties in the field of carbon dioxide separation. In previous experiments, it has been shown that PEO-zeolite-based membranes show good performance at temperatures up to 398K both in dry and wet conditions. In this work, the influence of the pressure of the waste gases as well as the influence of the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide in the mixture on the overall performance of the membrane were tested.
