        abstract = {Inorganic membranes can operate under harsh conditions. However, successful synthesis of inorganic membranes is still challenging, and its performance depends on many factors. This work reports the effect of dip-coating duration, inlet pressure, and inlet flow rate on the flux, permeability, and selectivity of silica membranes. A silica membrane was prepared by the deposition of silica sol onto porous alumina support. The permeability test was conducted at 100 {\^A}oC using a single gas of CO2 and CH4. The highest flux was observed at the maximum inlet pressure and inlet flow rate for the membrane prepared at the minimum dip-coating duration. The neural network modeling of the membrane predicted permeabilities showed a considerably high validity regression (R {\^a}?? 0.99) of the predicted data linked to the experimental sets. The separation factor ({\^I}{$\pm$}) was the highest at the maximum dip-coating duration. The synthesized silica membrane has potential for CO2/CH4 separation under harsh operating conditions. {\^A}{\copyright} 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd. {\^A}{\copyright} 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.}
