The separation factor (SF) of the gas pairs may be defined as the quotient between the molar ratios of the components in the permeate side divided by the quotient between the molar ratios of the components in the feed side. The ideal selectivity (S) is calculated as the ratio between the permeances of the individual components. NS stands for not specified.
