CO2 Membrane research

We have been creating nanoporous CO2 selective membranes.

Small prototype CO2 selective membrane.

We are using a mix of PEG, PVA, and ZnO with different processes and concentrations to create a more selective CO2 membrane.

Our first membrane gave a 7% increase CO2 concentration in preliminary testing. It had a support/gutter layer provided by Porex (https://www.porex.com/).

We also have just finished creating a prototype that is pyrolyzed in an autoclave. It turned brittle, maybe we baked it a little too long! Lets see how selective it is for CO2 anyway.
