Abstract
An improved method for humidification of a facilitated-transport membrane incorporates delivering a non-selective hydration fluid incorporating liquid water to a permeate side of a pressure vessel containing the facilitated transport membrane. The non-selective hydration fluid includes water and may be configured on the permeate side interface of the facilitated-transport membrane as a liquid or a gas. A process for separation of components in a gaseous mixture utilizing the method for humidification produces higher permeation of gasses through the facilitated transport membrane. The non-selective hydration fluid may be static or flowing and is non-selective for the permeance of certain permeate-gas components over other components.
