Abstract

A process for membrane separation of a mixture containing as main, or even major, components hydrogen and carbon dioxide and also at least one other component, for example chosen from the following group: carbon monoxide, methane and nitrogen, including: heating of the mixture in the heat exchanger, permeation of the reheated mixture in a first membrane separation unit making it possible to obtain a first permeate which is a hydrogen and carbon dioxide enriched relative to the mixture, and a first residue which is hydrogen and carbon dioxide lean, permeation of the first residue in a second membrane separation unit making it possible to obtain a second residue, at least one portion of the first permeate is compressed in a booster compressor and the second residue is expanded in a turbine, the booster compressor being driven by the turbine.
