The present disclosure provides apparatus, methods, and systems for manufacturing membrane assemblies for selective carbon dioxide (CO₂) separation. The apparatus includes coaxially arranged perforated tubes defining an annular space containing a solid-state lithium zirconate membrane. The method includes steps for introducing and compressing membrane material within the annular space to form a dense, selective membrane structure. The system provides mechanical components for controlled formation of the membrane assembly. The disclosure enables practical implementation of solid-state CO₂ capture technology for industrial and vehicle emissions through a novel manufacturing approach that overcomes traditional limitations in processing ionic solid membranes.
