For a molecular sieve membrane that exhibits high affinity for carbon dioxide, the gas transport in the membrane is predominantly surface adsorption. Pure carbon dioxide, despite the fact that it is heavier than hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane, is preferentially adsorbed (by losing more of its energy due to affinitive forces) onto the pore wall of hydrotalcite material in the membrane. Nitrogen gas can reduce the ability of carbon dioxide to be adsorbed and diffused into the membrane by as much as 1.9 kJ/mol at elevated pressure. The presence of the other two gases in the binary mixture can also perturb the ability of CO2 to be adsorbed and diffused into the membrane micropores.
