EFFECTS OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE
- The rubbery polymer membranes are not as influenced by relative humidity compared to the facilitated transport membranes on its CO2 permeation, though it is demonstrated that the CO2 separation slightly improves in a more humid setting in the vacuum mode.
- At a higher temperature, a larger amount of energy was required and a lower permeate carbon dioxide purity was achieved, because the increase in the partial pressure due to the higher temperature resulted in the amplified driving force of permeation.
