English abstract An asymmetric membrane of polysulfone (PSf) was synthesized by phase inversion method. Permeation experiments were carried out between 2 to 5 bar pressure, and at temperatures 20 to 45°C. The dense- selective layer of PSf membrane presents regular thickness (about 5 μm), and was not possible to observe the formation of macrovoids in porous layer. The CO 2 permeability through membrane was 18.8 Barrer at 35°C and 2 bar pressure, and this relationship between the pressure and the CO 2 permeability was described adequately by Dual-mode model. The absence of CH 4 permeability at 2 and 3 bar pressure, qualifies the PSf membrane for gases separation with high selectivity in this range
