Title: Development and demonstration of a spiral-wound thin-film composite membrane system for the economical production of oxygen-enriched air, Phase IV. Final report, January 1, 1983-December 31, 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5788976

Literature searches identified poly (vinyl isobutyl ether) as the most promising candidate barrier material for oxygen enrichment membranes. A membrane with an oxygen/nitrogen selectivity of 6.2 and a stability at 60/sup 0/C was developed. However, this membrane is fragile. Membranes using poly (2-hexyne) and poly (6-methyl-2-heptyne) were also made. (DLC)
