Co2-Selective Membranes Containing Amino Groups, W.S. Winston Ho

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Patents

Novel compositions suitable for fabrication of CO2-selective membranes are disclosed. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to compositions comprising polyimide/polyamine blends and copolymers, and to compositions comprising interfacially polymerized polyamides. In another aspect this invention is directed to novel CO2-selective membranes comprising such polyimide/polyamine blends and copolymers, and to novel CO2-selective membranes comprising interfacially polymerized polyamides. In yet another aspect, the present invention is directed to a novel water-gas-shift (WGS) reactor comprising the novel CO2-selective membranes. Advantageously, the use of the novel CO2-selective membrane allows alteration of the …
