The effect of exposure to humid conditions at room temperature on the H2-selective performance of a dimethoxydiphenylsilane (DMDPS)-derived silica membrane was studied. Immediately after exposure to air with 20% relative humidity, the permeances of H2and N2decreased drastically and then kept constant values, and that of SF6also decreased slightly. This decrease was considered to result from the physical adsorption of water molecules on the membrane surface or on the inside of the pore surfaces in the membrane, which resulted in a decrease of effective pore size for gas permeation. In addition, a regeneration procedure of the membrane was investigated. When the membrane was treated at 573K with pressurized H2streaming in one side while depressurizing the other side, the permeance of each gas recovered considerably. This is because the physically adsorbed water molecules detached during the regeneration process. However, the recovery of N2permeance was not so excellent, probably because a slight amount of adsorbed water molecules was remained even after the regeneration inside the pores where N2can originally permeate, which greatly reduced the effective pore size for N2permeation.
