Laboratory studies on the separation of CO2 and SO2 from gas mixtures
by liquid membranes are reported. The membrane set-up consisted of an
immobilized Polyethyleneglycol (PEG 400) membrane in series with anoth
er immobilized Diethanolamine (DEA)/PEG 400 membrane. SO2 was preferen
tially separated in the PEG 400 membrane while the DEA/PEG400 membrane
separated CO2. Highest separation factors obtained for CO2 and SO2 we
re, 220 and 140, respectively.
