Abstract

L'invention concerne un module de séparation de gaz acide qui possède : un film de séparation de gaz acide possédant à son tour un support poreux, un film de transport facilité comprenant un porteur réactif au gaz acide et un composé hydrophile supportant ce support, et une couche d'inhibition de diffusion de porteur interdisant la diffusion du porteur du film de transport facilité ; et un élément pour trajet d'écoulement de gaz d'alimentation constituant un trajet d'écoulement d'un gaz de matière première. La couche d'inhibition de diffusion de porteur contient un composé silicone modifié par du fluor. Le rapport d'atomes de fluor par rapport à des atomes de silicium dans la couche d'inhibition de diffusion de porteur, est compris entre 5 et 40% en rapport atomique. Par conséquent, l'invention fournit un module de séparation de gaz acide dont la durabilité est satisfaisante.
