Gas separation method

Amorphous silica porous membranes prepared by the sol-gel method are used to separate fluorocarbons by utilizing the molecular sieve effect. This solves the problem of low separation efficiency of fluorocarbons in existing technologies and achieves efficient separation of fluorocarbons and azeotropic mixtures.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to efficiently separate mixtures of fluorocarbons, especially due to the small differences in molecular diameters and the azeotropic phenomenon, which makes separation difficult. Furthermore, distillation methods have high energy loads, and membrane separation is ineffective.

Method used

A porous amorphous silica membrane formed by the sol-gel method is used to separate fluorocarbons by utilizing the molecular sieve effect. When a mixed gas is supplied, it passes through the porous membrane at specific temperature and pressure to achieve selective permeation of fluorocarbons.

Benefits of technology

It achieves efficient separation of fluorocarbons, especially azeotropic mixtures, reducing energy load and improving separation efficiency.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel fluorocarbon separation method. The method for separating fluorocarbon comprises a step of supplying a mixed gas containing two or more fluorocarbon gases having different molecular diameters to a porous membrane, and separating a gas composition or a single gas in which the mixing ratio of one fluorocarbon gas selected from the two or more fluorocarbon gases is increased, the porous film contains amorphous silica formed by a sol-gel method.
