Helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, methane and carbon dioxide were used for gas permeation rate measurements. Theoretical Maxwell’s model was used to predict and interpret gas transport properties in MMMs. Vapour transport properties were studied for aliphatic hydrocarbon (hexane), aromatic compound (toluene), alcohol (ethanol), as well as water. Organic vapours result more permeable than permanent gases in EOC-based membranes, with toluene and hexane permeabilities being about two orders of magnitude higher than permanent gas permeability. Carbon-filled membranes show that the EOC is an organophilic material that offers perspectives for application in gas/vapour separation with improved mechanical resistance.
