  • Patent number: 9272248
    Abstract: A gas separation composite membrane, containing a gas-permeable supporting layer and a gas separating layer containing a crosslinked polyimide resin over the gas-permeable supporting layer, in which the crosslinked polyimide resin has structure in which a polyimide compound is crosslinked and linked, and the polyimide compound is a copolymer having at least an imide group-containing monomer component and a monomer component having a specific polar group; and a module, a gas separation apparatus and a gas separation method using the same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2016
    Assignee: FUJIFILM Corporation
    Inventors: Satoshi Sano, Ichirou Nagata, Tomonori Ishino, Kentaro Shiratsuchi, Shigehide Itou, Kenichi Ishizuka, Takeshi Umehara
  • Patent number: 9248413
    Abstract: A gas separation composite membrane, containing a gas-permeable supporting layer and a gas separating layer containing a crosslinked polyimide resin over the gas-permeable supporting layer, in which the crosslinked polyimide resin is formed by a polyimide compound being crosslinked by a radically crosslinkable functional group thereof, and a ratio [?] of a crosslinked site to an imide group of the polyimide compound (the number of crosslinked sites/the number of imide groups) in the crosslinked polyimide resin is 0.0001 or more and 0.45 or less; a method of producing the same; and a gas separating module, a gas separation apparatus and a gas separation method using the same.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9238204
    Abstract: A gas separation composite membrane, containing a gas-permeable supporting layer and a gas separating layer containing a crosslinked polyimide resin over the gas-permeable supporting layer, in which the crosslinked polyimide resin has structure in which a polyimide compound is crosslinked through a specific crosslinking chain, the specific crosslinking chain has at least one kind of linking group selected from the group consisting of —NRaC(?O)—, —NRbC(?O)O—, —CH2OCH2—, —CH2SCH2—, —OC(?O)O—, —C(?O)O?N+(Rc)3—, —SO3?N+(Rd)3— and —PO3?N+(Re)3—, and Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd and Re each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent.
