Abstract
Polyimide-alumina composite membranes were fabricated by the molecular-wise vapor polymerization (MVP) technique of copolymer which has a constant rep eating unit chemically bound by primer on the wall and/or surface of the po rous ceramic support. By changing the flow rate of N-2 carrier gas and the repeating number (n), the fabricated pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA)-diamin odiphenylether (ODA) composite membranes have separation factor alpha(CO2)/ (CH4) in the range 0.87-16.0. The estimation of pore diameter was carried o ut by N-2 permeance and estimated pore diameter was controlled in the range 38-263 nm. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
