  • Publication number: 20180264399
    Abstract: A membrane contactor system for separating CO2 from a mixed gaseous feed stream comprising CO2, said contactor system comprising: (i) a composite membrane, said membrane having a permeate side and a retentate side; (ii) said retentate side being exposed to a mixed gaseous feed stream comprising carbon dioxide; (iii) said permeate side being exposed to a carbon dioxide capture organic solvent; (iv) said composite membrane comprising a porous layer and a non-porous selective polymer layer, said non-porous selective polymer layer selectively allowing transport of CO2 across the composite membrane from said mixed gaseous feed stream so that it dissolves in said capture solvent whilst limiting the transport of said capture solvent across the composite membrane.
