Gas permeation studies play significant role in reflecting the potential of the membranes in separating the gas mixtures. In this study, Ba-SAPO-34 zeolite membrane was formed by membrane synthesis process using microwave (MW) heating and followed by membrane ion-exchange process with Ba2+ cation. The Ba-SAPO-34 zeolite membrane was investigated for its performance in the CO2 and N2 gases permeation studies. The effects of permeation temperature (30 - 180 °C) and pressure difference (100 - 500 kPa) across the membrane on the gas permeation performance of the Ba-SAPO-34 membrane were studied. CO2 single permeance of ~9.4-19.5 � 10-8 mol/m2.s.Pa and N2 single permeance of ~0.635-0.694 � 10-8 mol/m2.s.Pa were obtained for gases permeation through Ba-SAPO-34 membrane performed under the range of permeation temperature and pressure difference across the membrane studied. Maximum CO2/N2 ideal selectivity of 29.6 was obtained for gases permeation through Ba-SAPO-34 membrane at 30 °C and 100 kPa pressure difference. © 2016, Malaysian Society of Analytical Sciences.
