Abstract

A polysulfone-zeolite composite membrane can be used to separate gas pairs such as hydrogen/carbon dioxide. Zeolite, preferably zeolite 3A particles are covalently bonded to the polymer using an aminofunctional methoxysilane as a coupling agent to bind the zeolite particles to an aldehyde modified polysulfone matrix.
