Abstract:
A MONOALKENE, SUCH AS STYRENE OR HEXENE, IS SEPARATED FROM ORGANIC MIXTURES COMPRISING SAID ALKENE AND ANOTHER ORGANIC COMPONENT OR COMPONENTS BY CONTACTING SAID MIXTURE UNDER PREVAPORATION PERMEATION CONDITIONS AGAINST ONE SIDE OF A POLYMERIC, PERMEATION MEMBRANE, THE MEMBRANE HAVING A TRANSITION METAL MOLECULARLY DISPERSED THEREIN AND WITHDRAWING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING A HIGHER CONCENTRATION OF ALKENE. THE TRANSITION METAL IS IN AN OXIDATION STATE AND IN A FORM WHICH PERMITS CHEMICAL INTERACTION WITH THE MONOALKENE. EXEMPLARY OF TRANSITION METAL IS SILVER AS ELEMENTAL SILVER AND AS SILVER TETRAFLUOROBORATE.
Abstract:
DIENES ARE SEPARATED FROM ORGANIC MIXTURES COMPRISING DIENE AND ALKENE HAVING ONE DOUBLE BOND BY CONTACTING THE MIXTURE AGAINST ONE SIDE OF A POLYMERIC PERMEATION MEMBRANE, THE MEMBRANE HAVING A TRANSITION METAL MOLECULARLY DISPERSED THEREIN AND WITHDRAWING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEMBRANE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING INCREASED DIENE CONCENTRATION. EXEMPLARY OF THE ORGANIC MIXTURE IS A MIXTURE OF BUTADIENE AND BUTENE. EXEMPLARY OF TRANSITION METAL IS SILVER AS ELEMENTAL SILVER AND AS SILVER TETRAFLUOROBORATE.
Abstract:
STYRENE IS SEPARATED FROM ORGANIC MIXTURES COMPRISING STYRENE AND ETHYLBENZENE BY CONTACTING THE MIXTURE (FEED MIXTURE) AGAINST ONE SIDE OF A POLYURETHANE ELASTOMER MEMBRANE UNDER PERVAPORTAION PERMEATION CONDITIONS AND WITHDRAWING AT THE OTHER SIDE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING INCREASED STYRENE CONCENTRATION. THE POLYURETHANE ELASTOMER EMPLOYED CONTAINS POLYETHER OR POLYESTER GROUPINGS. EXAMPLES OF POLYURETHANE ELASTOMER POLYMERS ARE POLYMERS OF THE FORMULA
Abstract:
Process for the separation of water from mixtures of water and organic or inorganic compounds, soluble in water, by contacting the mixtures against a nitrogen-containing polymeric membrane, and withdrawing at the other side of the membrane a mixture having a higher concentration of water.
Abstract:
Dienes are separated from organic mixtures comprising diene and alkene having one double bond by contacting the mixture against one side of a glycidyl methacrylate polymer membrane and withdrawing at the other side a vaporous mixture having increased diene concentration. Exemplary of the organic mixtures is a mixture of butadiene and butene.
Abstract:
DIENES ARE SEPARATED FROM ORGANIC MIXTURES COMPRISING DIENE AND ALKENE HAVING ONE DOUBLE BOND BY CONTACTING THE MIXTURE AGAINST ONE SIDE OF POLY(N-VINYLPYRROLIDONE) MEMBRANE AND WITHDRAWING AT THE OTHER SIDE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING INCREASED DIENE CONCENTRATION. EXEMPLARY OF THE ORGANIC MIXTURES IS A MIXTURE OF BUTADIENE AND BUTENE.
Abstract:
Dienes are separated from organic mixtures comprising diene and alkene having one double bond by contacting the mixture against one side of a cyanoethyl cellulose membrane and withdrawing at the other side a vaporous mixture having increased diene concentration. Exemplary of the organic mixtures is a mixture of butadiene and butene. The cyanoethyl cellulose perferably has a degree of substitution (D.S.) of from about 0.57 to 3.0.
Abstract:
STYRENE IS SEPARATED FROM ORGANIC MIXTURES COMPRISING STYRENE AND ETHYLBENZENE BY CONTACTING THE MIXTURE AGAINST ONE SIDE OF A CYANOETHYL CELLULOSE MEMBRANE WITHDRAWING AT THE OTHER SIDE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING INCREASED STYRENE CONCENTRATION. THE CYANOETHYL CELLULOSE EMPLOYED PREFERABLY HAS A DEGREE OF SUBSTITUTION (D.S.) OF FROM ABOUT 0.5 TO 3.0.
Abstract:
Styrene is separated from organic mixtures comprising styrene and ethyl benzene by contacting the mixture against one side of a polymeric membrane and withdrawing at the other side a vaporous mixture having increased styrene concentration. The polymer membrane is an acrylonitrile-containing polymer or acrylonitrilecontaining polymer blend. Exemplary of the polymer membranes are copolymers of acrylonitrile and acrylic acid, 2-methyl-5vinylpyridine, isobutylene, isoprene, and styrene and blends of polyacrylonitrile and poly(ethylenimine).
Abstract:
AND WITHDRAWING AT THE OTHER SIDE A VAPOROUS MIXTURE HAVING INCREASED DIENE CONCENTRATION. Exemplary of the organic mixtures is a mixture of butadiene and butene.
Dienes are separated from organic mixtures comprising diene and alkene having one double bond by contacting the mixture against one side of a polymeric permeation membrane which is an aromatic imide polymer of the formula
