Mixed matrix membranes (MMM) based on polysulfone and chemically modified clinoptilolite were prepared. Clinoptilolite enriched with Ca2+, K+, and Na+ by ion exchange at two test temperatures was prepared. Chemical composition was monitored by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were also performed. Thermal and morphological properties of MMM were evaluated. CH4/CO2 gas mixture permeability tests at different upstream pressure were carried out. Type of exchanged cation in modified clinoptilolite affected the CO2 permeability. An improvement on the CO2/CH4 selectivity values in the MMM compared to the polymeric membrane was appreciated. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45659.
