20080196841 | WATER-BASED PRECIPITATION OF POLYMER SOLUTIONS - A solid polymer is recovered from a solution by the addition of a water-based solution containing a surfactant. The solutions are mixed and heated, so that the organic solvent containing the polymer is driven off, and the solid polymer can be recovered. The solid polymer is generally recovered in the form of small particles, which can be easily moved, as part of a slurry, and then dried. The process produces no hazardous waste. The by-products of the process can be re-used or discarded through ordinary channels. | 08-21-2008 |
20100132537 | AUTOMATIC LACER FOR BUNDLES OF POLYMERIC FIBER - An automatic lacer wraps bundles of polymeric fibers with thread, before the bundles are woven into a fabric mat and placed in a housing to form a gas-separation membrane module. A fiber bundle passes through a spool which is previously wound with thread on its outer surface. The thread is attached to the fiber bundle, so that when the bundle is moved through the spool, the thread is pulled from the spool, and automatically becomes wound around the bundle. Threads from two or more spools may be wrapped around the fiber bundle simultaneously. Lacing of the fiber bundles reduces the amount of tangling in the loom feeder, and improves the quality of modules made from the fiber bundles. | 06-03-2010 |
20110239866 | INTEGRATED MEMBRANE MODULE FOR GAS DEHYDRATION AND GAS SEPARATION - An integrated fiber membrane module for air dehydration and air separation includes dehydration and separation units disposed concentrically in a generally cylindrical module. Air flows through the outer dehydration unit, becomes dried, and is then directed, in an opposite direction, through the separation unit. The permeate gas from the separation unit serves as a sweep gas for the dehydration unit. A portion of dried gas produced by the dehydration unit may be used as a sweep gas for the separation unit, and also for the dehydration unit. The module makes it feasible to dry and separate air using a device which occupies relatively little space, and which is therefore especially suited for use in aircraft and in other cramped environments. | 10-06-2011 |
20140187683 | HIGH-FLOW HOLLOW-FIBER MEMBRANES CONTAINING POLYMER BLENDS - A composition for making polymeric fiber membranes, for use in non-cryogenic separation of gases, substantially improves product flow, with only a small decrease in the recovery ratio. The composition is a spin dope including tetrabromo bis-phenol A polycarbonate (TBBA-PC) and tetrabromo bishydroxyphenylfluorene polycarbonate (TBBHPF-PC), in proportions, by weight, ranging (in percent) from about 60/40 to 40/60, and n-methyl pyrrolidinone (NMP) and triethylene glycol (TEG), wherein the ratio of the amounts of NMP to TEG, by weight, is in the range of about 1.6-2.5. The spin dope is used to make hollow fibers for use in gas-separation membrane modules. | 07-03-2014 |
20140291887 | METHOD FOR MAKING GAS-SEPARATION MEMBRANES HAVING IMPROVED FLUX AND SELECTIVITY - A polymeric fiber for use in gas separation is formed from a spin dope which includes solvent and non-solvent materials. The fiber is passed through a quench bath, and then a leach bath, in which the solvent and non-solvent are removed. The quench bath and the leach bath include sets of rollers which transport the fiber through the system. Each set of rollers in the leach bath operates at a speed which is greater than or equal to the speed of the rollers which are immediately upstream. Thus, the fiber is stretched, in different amounts, at the same time that the solvent and non-solvent are being removed, and while the fiber is still wet. The resulting fiber has been found to exhibit superior flux and selectivity properties. | 10-02-2014 |
