摘要:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a microporous membrane from an unsulfonated poly(phenylene sulfide) polymer by forming a mixture of an unsulfonated poly(phenylene sulfide) polymer, an amorphous polymer, and optionally a plasticizer, heating the resulting mixture, extruding or optionally casting the mixture into a membrane, controlled cooling (quenching) or coagulating the membrane, and leaching the membrane, while optionally drawing the membrane before, during, and/or after leaching.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a microporous permselective membrane from a poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) polymer, an organic compound which substantially solubilizes the PPS below its melting point to form a homogenous mixture, heating the resulting mixture, extruding or casting the mixture into a membrane (fiber or film), quenching or coagulating the membrane, and leaching the membrane, while optionally drawing the membrane before, during, after leaching, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the solvent optionally includes an organic non-solvent to assist in obtaining the desired microporsity. The permselective polymers are useful to separate gaseous or liquid components from a mixture of components.

This invention relates a composition useful for preparing a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer membrane containing (1) a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer, (2) glycerol monoacetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, or mixtures thereof, and (3) optionally glycerol, wherein the polyvinylidene fluoride polymer membrane prepared from the composition is useful for a membrane liquid separation process such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, dialysis, or membrane stripping. In another aspect, this invention is an improved process for using the composition to prepare a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer membrane by forming a mixture of the composition, heating the mixture to a temperature at which the mixture becomes a homogeneous fluid, and extruding, molding, or casting the homogeneous fluid into a membrane. Another aspect of this invention relates to a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer membrane where the fabricated membrane contains glycerol monoacetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, or mixtures thereof, and optionally glycerol.

This invention consists of a composition useful for preparing a cellulose ester membrane comprising (1) a cellulose ester, (2) glycerol monoacetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, or mixtures thereof, and (3) optionally glycerol, wherein the cellulose ester membrane prepared from said composition is useful for a membrane liquid separation process such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, dialysis, or reverse osmosis. In another aspect, this invention is an improved process for using said composition to prepare a cellulose ester membrane by forming a mixture of said composition, heating the mixture to a temperature at which the mixture becomes a homogeneous fluid, and extruding, molding, or casting the homogeneous fluid into a membrane. Another aspect of this invention consists of a cellulose ester membrane wherein the fabricated membrane contains glycerol monoacetate, glycerol diacetate, glycerol triacetate, or mixtures thereof, and optionally glycerol.
摘要:
Normally hydrophobic, polyethylene hollow fibers having contiguous microporosity are prepared by extruding a heated solution of a polyethylene and an ester from a hollow fiber spinnerette, simultaneously cooling and drawing the forming fibers to a ratio of up to 40 to 1, drawing the gelled fibers to an overall ratio of from about 1.5/1 to 800/1 and then removing the ester. The maximum pore radius ranges up to about 50A, and the fibers have gas permeabilities approaching 10.sup.-.sup.2 cc (STP) per cm.sup.2 per second per cm. Hg. transmembrane pressure differential. A significant increase in permeability over polyethylene hollow fibers made according to the teachings of the prior art is achieved.
