The removal of water vapor from humid gas streams is important for steam recovery in power plants and reaction enhancement in a membrane reactor that produces water as a by-product, and so on. The prospect of future applications for organosilica membranes in these fields prompted the present investigation of humid gas separation properties via 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE)-derived membranes. In this work, binary humid gas separation (H2O/H-2 and H2O/N-2) was performed on BTESE-derived membranes at temperatures ranging from 80 to 200 degrees C under feeds of water mole fractions ranging from 0.1 to 0.9. Permeance and the permeance ratios of H2O/H-2 and H2O/N-2 were confirmed to be dependent on temperature and vapor pressure, and found to be correlated using the water adsorption potential, which accounted for both the temperature and the vapor pressure. The highest levels of water permeate flux, permeance, and permeance ratios of H2O/H-2 and H2O/N-2 were 37 kg/(m(2)h), 5.5 x 10(-6) mol/(m(2)s Pa)), and 84 and infinity ( > 6700), respectively, at 150 degrees C where the partial pressure difference of water across the membrane was 107 kPa. The high performance of BTESE-derived organosilica membranes shows promise for their future applications in humid gas separation at moderate-to-high temperatures.
