  • Separation process using a polyimide membrane
    Patent number: 8912288
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a new type of polyimide membrane with high permeances and high selectivities for gas separations and particularly for CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 separations. The polyimide membranes have CO2 permeability of 50 Barrers or higher and single-gas selectivity for CO2/CH4 of 15 or higher at 50° C. under 791 kPa for CO2/CH4 separation. The polyimide membranes have UV cross-linkable functional groups and can be used for the preparation of UV cross-linked polyimide membranes having CO2 permeability of 20 Barrers or higher and single-gas selectivity for CO2/CH4 of 35 or higher at 50° C. under 791 kPa for CO2/CH4 separation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2014
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Chunqing Liu, Travis C. Bowen, Emily G. Harbert, Raisa Minkov, Syed A. Faheem, Zara Osman
