TI  - High-temperature CO2 removal from CH4 using silica membrane: experimental and neural network modeling
N2  - 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 °C 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 â?? 0.99) of the predicted data linked to the experimental sets. The separation factor (α) was the highest at the maximum dip-coating duration. The synthesized silica membrane has potential for CO2/CH4 separation under harsh operating conditions. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
