Title: Membranes   matrices m lang es comportant des particules tamis en carbone pyrolys , et proc d s de fabrication et d'utilisation de ces membranes
Inventor: KOROS WILLIAM J
IPC: B01D71/14
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des membranes polymères à matrices mélangées, capables de séparer le dioxyde de carbone de mélanges à base de dioxyde de carbone et de méthane. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant de purifier le méthane par utilisation de ces membranes. A cet effet, on a recours à une épaisseur de couche sélective se situant entre environ 1000 Å et environ 0,005 pouces. En l'occurrence, la membrane inclut des particules discrètes carbonées servant de tamis moléculaire de calibres se situant entre 0,5 νm et 5 νm. Pour obtenir ces particules on procède par pyrolyse d'un polymère précurseur sous forme d'une poudre ou d'un film. L'idéal est alors de broyer ce polymère en particules du petit calibre demandé. Le rapport préféré des particules sur le polymère est d'environ 0,25 à environ 1 par volume. L'un des modes de réalisation préférés de la membrane à matrices mélangées est de disperser les particules dans un solvant, d'ajouter une petite quantité du polymère voulu ou agent de prise, de façon à prendre ou enduire les particules, d'ajouter un polymère, de couler un film de solution du polymère, et d'évaporer le solvant de façon à former un film membranaire à matrices mélangées. Le polymère est de préférence vitreux et rigide, plus préférentiellement affecté d'une température de transition vitreuse supérieure à environ 150°C. Cette membrane à matrices mélangées et se présente de préférence sous forme d'un film dense ou d'une fibre creuse.
