Silver nanoparticle/PDMS nanocomposite catalytic membranes for H 2 S gas removal
Abstract(#br)The removal of H 2 S gas molecules from an environment with other gas species is an important technological challenge for a number of applications. In this work, we developed a nanocomposite catalytic membrane made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different weight concentrations of silver (Ag) nanoparticles to reactively remove H 2 S from CH 4 and CO 2 gas streams. PDMS was chosen as a model base polymer as Ag nanoparticles could be well dispersed into its matrix.
