Hello,

I'm looking at technologies suitable for separation of CO2 from O2 stream. The stream will be approximately 50/50 CO2 and O2. I need a pure stream of CO2 with no O2. Ideally the O2 should have very little CO2 too. The plant is very small, lab scale processing around 2kg/hr. I've been looking at molesieves (5a/13x) but I'm interested in membrane technology. Has anyone got any suggestions?

We have been using molecular sieves for this application. 'Domnick Hunter' manufactures these O2 absorbers in lab scale models but they are a bit expensive.

Truth: Even the hardest of the problems will have atleast one simple solution. Mine may not be one.

Thanks for the lead.....
