Thin film composite membranes for separation of alkenes from alkanes

Title: Thin film composite membranes for separation of alkenes from alkanes

Abstract

Composite membranes comprised of at least two layers, one of the layers being a silver ionomer and a second layer which is a fluorinated polymer with certain permeability properties, are especially useful for the separation of alkanes from alkenes, Particularly useful is a three-layer composite membrane in which a porous layer is laminated to the second layer.

Thin-film composite membrane and processes for the separation of alkenes from a gaseous feed mixture

Patent Lousenberg, Robert Daniel; Loprete, Kenneth Evan

This invention discloses an improved thin-film composite membrane and processes that use the membrane for the separation of gaseous mixtures that include an alkene. The membrane is particularly useful for separation of alkenes from alkanes or the separation of alkenes from other non-hydrocarbon gases. The membrane has a more mechanically durable and defect-free gas-separation layer that is fabricated from an ionomer solution that is substantially free of dissolved ionic species not associated with the ionomer and the mean helium permeability of the thin-film composite membrane is less than two times greater than the intrinsic helium permeability of the gas-separation layer.

Selective oxidation of alkanes and/or alkenes to valuable oxygenates

Patent Lin, Manhua [Maple Glen, PA]; Pillai, Krishnan S [North Brunwick, NJ]

A catalyst, its method of preparation and its use for producing at least one of methacrolein and methacrylic acid, for example, by subjecting isobutane or isobutylene or a mixture thereof to a vapor phase catalytic oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen. In the case where isobutane alone is subjected to a vapor phase catalytic oxidation in the presence of air or oxygen, the product is at least one of isobutylene, methacrolein and methacrylic acid. The catalyst comprises a compound having the formula A.sub.aB.sub.bX.sub.xY.sub.yZ.sub.zO.sub.o wherein A is one or more elements selected from the group of Mo, W andmore »« less

Pervaporation separation of ethanol-water mixtures using polyethylenimine composite membranes

Patent Neidlinger, Hermann H [Lakewood, CO]; Schissel, Paul O [Golden, CO]; Orth, Richard A [Denver, CO]

Synthetic, organic, polymeric membranes were prepared from polyethylenimine for use with pervaporation apparatus in the separation of ethanol-water mixtures. The polymeric material was prepared in dilute aqueous solution and coated onto a polysulfone support film, from which excess polymeric material was subsequently removed. Cross-links were then generated by limited exposure to toluene-2,4-diisocyanate solution, after which the prepared membrane was heat-cured. The resulting membrane structures showed high selectivity in permeating ethanol or water over a wide range of feed concentrations.

Composite membranes for fluid separations

Patent Blume, Ingo [Hengelo, NL]; Peinemann, Klaus-Viktor [Reinbek, DE]; Pinnau, Ingo [Austin, TX]; ...

A method for designing and making composite membranes having a microporous support membrane coated with a permselective layer. The method involves calculating the minimum thickness of the permselective layer such that the selectivity of the composite membrane is close to the intrinsic selectivity of the permselective layer. The invention also provides high performance membranes with optimized properties.
