A novel facilitated transport membrane consisting of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (DAPA) as a selective carrier of CO2and PVA/PAA gel as support was developed for the removal of CO2from the water gas shift reactor in the hydrogen production plants. The membrane performance was tested by the experiments on the selective separation of CO2from a mixture of 3.65% CO2, 32.9% N2and 63.5% H2O at the temperature from 125 to 160°C and the feed gas pressure from 100 to 650kPa. Typical observed CO2permeances were 3.14×10−4mol/m2skPa at 125°C and 300kPa, 1.71×10−4at 140°C and the feed gas pressure of 450kPa and 1.10×10−4at 160°C and 600kPa, and the CO2/H2selectivities at the respective conditions were 1070, 561 and 432, respectively. Obtained results showed that the water content in the membrane is one of the key factors, which determines the CO2permeance and CO2/N2selectivity. The CO2permeance as well as the CO2/N2selectivity increased with increasing the pressure, which might be mainly caused by increasing the water content in the membrane. It was also found that increasing the carrier concentration could significantly enhance the membrane performance, especially at elevated temperatures.
