To the membrane gas separation article, we will add content on the following:

We will describe the effects of changing the pressure ratio on the process, and how selectivity alone does not allocate the proper carbon dioxide separation.  Energy costs alone, though, makes operating the pressure difference under close to vacuum conditions not feasible. We will describe the CO2 separation process designed by Dr. Baker’s works that makes membranes be competitive with absorption and adsorption technologies. We will discuss the advantages of process design in making membrane separation economical.  For example, considering applications of appropriate contact area between phases.  Also, we need to consider the use of multiple membranes, configured with streams going into many different pressure changes to optimize carbon dioxide separation.Methods in which to increase carbon dioxide concentration to maximize driving force. We will also explain the current status of CO2 capture with membranes in terms of research, feasibility, and implementation.
