Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to control the degree of crosslinking of the thin selective layers of asymmetric gas separation membranes using UV radiation techniques, which result in very low permeabilities, although the selectivity is usually very high

[0025] A 1 wt% PAMAM 0.0 crosslinking solution was prepared by mixing 0.56 g of poly(amidoamine) generation 0.0 (PAMAM 0.0) dendrimer solution (62.35 wt% PAMAM 0.0 in methanol) and 34.44 g of DI. Preparation of low-selectivity, high-permeability porous asymmetric planar poly(3,3',4,4'-diphenylsulfonetetracarboxylic dianhydride-3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl- 4,4'-Methylenedianiline) (DSDA-TMMDA) polyimide membrane was used for cross-linking studies, and the membrane had a temperature of 50 °C with 10% CO 2 and 90% CH 4 Mixed gas feed and 640GPU CO at 791kPa (100psig) 2 Permeability and CO of 1.72 2 / CH 4 selective. The skin surface of the DSDA-TMMDA membrane was contacted with 1 wt% PAMAM 0.0 crosslinking solution for 1 minute. The resulting film was then dried at 70°C for 1 hour.

The coated membrane was dried in a fume hood at room temperature for 30 minutes, then at 70° C. for 1 hour. A 5 wt % RTV615A / 615B silicone rubber solution was prepared from 0.9 g of RTV615A, 0.1 g of RTV615B, and 19 g of hexane. Dried RTV615A / RTV615B coated DSDA-TMMDA polyimide membranes (abbreviated as PI-0.05) were cut into 7.6 cm diameter circles for permeation testing.

Abstract

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).
