Abstract

In this study, design of lab scale device for determination of separation properties of
membranes is presented and analyzed. Device operates with different gas pressure between
chambers, whereby gas streams perpendicular to the membrane. Using appropriate acquisition
system and applying mathematical formulas, mechanism for gas transfer through the membrane is
determinate.
Polymer membranes based on zeolite are synthesized and tested by lab scale device. The membranes
with various content of zeolite are tested with CO2 gas until optimal composition of membrane
components is established. Beside good mechanical and structural properties of applied membrane,
suitable values of permeability with good agreement with the literature data are obtained.
