The key objective of this research is to synthesize thin composite ternary (amine) mixed matrix membranes on microporous support by incorporating 10 wt of carbon molecular sieve (CMS) and 5-15 wt of diethanolamine (DEA) in polyethersulfone (PES) dope solution for the separation of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from methane (CH 4) at high-pressure applications. The developed membranes were evaluated for their morphological structure, thermal and mechanical stabilities, functional groups, as well as for CO 2 -CH 4 separation performance at high pressure (10-30 bar). The results showed that the developed membranes have asymmetric structure, and they are mechanically strong at 30 bar. This new class of PES/CMS/DEA composite MMMs exhibited improved gas permeance compared to pure PES composite polymeric membrane. CO 2 -CH 4 perm-selectivity enhanced from 8.15 to 16.04 at 15 wt of DEA at 30 bar pressure. The performance of amine composite MMMs is theoretically predicted using a modified Maxwell model. The predictions were in good agreement with experimental data after applying the optimized values with AARE = �less than 2 and R 2 = 0.99. © 2020 The Authors. date: 2020 publisher: Royal Society Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85093533502&doi=10.1098%2frsos.200795&partnerID=40&md5=2cde871a8846beebed7bb5b9fa893cfc id_number: 10.1098/rsos.200795 full_text_status: none publication: Royal Society Open Science volume: 7 number: 9 refereed: TRUE issn: 20545703 citation: Fauzan, N.A.B. and Mukhtar, H. and Nasir, R. and Mohshim, D.F.B. and Arasu, N. and Man, Z. and Mannan, H.A.
