A systematic study of the gas separation performances of CTA polymers has been carried out in self-standing symmetric films and asymmetric hollow fiber membranes. The separation performance in H2S-containing mixtures (CH4/CO2/H2S, 80/5/15 mol%) were evaluated at 30 and 50 °C at 20, 35 and 50 bar, including higher hydrocarbons (butane and toluene) in the presence of various levels of humidity, up to 4500 ppm or 80 % RH, depending on conditions of temperature and pressure. For the first time, the effect of these contaminants and humidity together under sour gas conditions has demonstrated the promising stability of CTA membrane separation performance, both in terms of H2S permeability and H2S/CH4 selectivity. The improvement in H2S permeability is due to a combination of H2S plasticization and competitive sorption making this phenomenon even more attractive and worth studying further.
