摘要： Cross-linked rubbery polyurethane-ether polymeric membranes are made from cross-linked rubbery polyurethane-ether polymers that are synthesized from a diisocyanate-terminated polyether and a tetrol with four hydroxyl functional groups. The hydroxyl groups on the tetrol react with the isocyanate groups on the diisocyanate-terminated polyether to form urethane bonds. The cross-linked rubbery polyurethane-ether polymeric membrane selectively permeate condensable vapors such as C3 to C35 hydrocarbons, aromatics, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide and rejects methane and ethane. The cross-linked rubbery polyurethane-ether polymeric membrane have high permeance for condensable vapors, high selectivity for condensable vapors over methane and ethane, and high resistance to liquid chemicals.

摘要： The present invention discloses new types of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-cross-linked polyimide membranes and methods for making and using these membranes. The membranes are prepared by cross-linking of asymmetric aromatic polyimide membranes using a PAMAM dendrimer as the cross-linking agent. The PAMAM-cross-linked polyimide membranes showed significantly improved selectivities for CO2/CH4 compared to a comparable uncrosslinked polyimide membrane. For example, PAMAM 0.0 dendrimer-cross-linked asymmetric flat sheet poly(3,3′,4,4′-diphenylsulfone tetracarboxylic dianhydride-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-methylene dianiline) (DSDA-TMMDA) polyimide membrane showed CO2 permeance of 135.2 A.U. and CO2/CH4 selectivity of 20.3. However, the un-cross-linked DSDA-TMMDA asymmetric flat sheet membrane showed much lower CO2/CH4 selectivity (16.5) and higher CO2 permeance (230.8 GPU).
