Abstract: Thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes were dried under different membrane pre-treatment procedures and evaluated at increased temperatures by gas separation tests. The obtained permeance and selectivity values indicated the presence of highly-permeable regions in the dry samples of the commercial membranes. Treatment with etanol-hexane in a solvent exchange process, as well as membrane immersion in t-butanol followed by freeze drying, increased the gas permeance by a factor of 1.8 to 9, and from 1.6 to 3.2, respectively, by comparison with room temperature and oven drying. Nevertheless, a Knudsendiffusion transport mechanism was dominant after both pre-treatments. The permeation temperature remarkably influenced gas selectivity and permeance, and a máximum He/N2 selectivity occurred at 150 1C with considerable high permeance results, which may suggest the use of polyamide membranes as alternative materials for high-temperature separation processes. The temperature-induced changes in the polymer structure and in the transport of compounds can be explained by Knudsen and activated diffusion mechanisms throughout a highly-permeable regions and a dense polyamide matrix, respectively.
