  • a "raw" membrane can be produced in large existing systems, which are modified in a second step depending on the application.
  • membranes for desalination can be produced very inexpensively.
  • the basic polymer is e.g. Polypropylene used.
  • the inorganic component e.g. Montmorillonite is previously organically modified so that a charged group remains on the surface. This can e.g. done with an alpha-omega aminosulfonic acid. After stretching, the result is a charged microporous membrane. This is suitable for reverse osmosis.
  • crosslinking reactions can still be carried out within the pores via terminally crosslinkable groups of the functionalizing agents. This can be covalent and / or ionic crosslinking.
  • Another application is the use in alkene-alkane separation.
  • Silver nitrate solution is a poorly soluble complex. It has now surprisingly been found that when this complex is located in a membrane, it is capable of reversibly binding alkenes to it.
  • Alkane mixtures Water or an aprotic solvent can be used as the solvent for the silver salt Solvents are used.
  • Alkenes and olefins permit water-free through such a membrane with a technically applicable flow rate.
  • An improvement in the flow numbers is achieved by inserting organically modified montmorillonite with heterocyclic nitrogen on the surface, which has at least one lone pair of electrons, for example a terminal imidazole group. The membrane is carefully stretched and then placed in silver salt solution. Stretching creates channel structures in the membrane that facilitate transport.
  • an unmodified polymer e.g. Polypropylene is stretched with organically modified montmorillonite.
  • the montmorillonite again carries terminal imidazole or pyridine groups on its surface.
  • the microporous membrane is placed in a solution containing silver ions.
  • the membrane is then suitable for the alkene-Akan separation.
  • the membrane is suitable for the separation of low molecular weight substances in which one component of the mixture contains a double bond, which form a reversible complex with silver ions.
  • the separation of low molecular weight olefin / alkane mixtures is particularly preferred.
  • the montmorillonite need not necessarily be modified.
  • Polypropylene is composed with montmorillonite and stretched.
  • the porous film is then aftertreated in a solution which contains aromatic nitrogen with at least one lone pair of electrons.
  • the solvent can be any suitable solvent or solvent mixture. Water and aprotic solvents are preferred. It is only important that the corresponding nitrogen-containing molecule penetrates the clay cavities and fills the pores.
  • the membrane is post-treated in a solution containing silver or copper ions. Anything that keeps silver or copper ions in solution is suitable as a solvent. Water and aprotic solvents such as DMSO, NMP and THF are particularly preferred. As a result, the nitrogen-silver ion complex or the nitrogen-copper ion complex fails in the membrane. This process can be repeated several times if necessary.
  • the membrane is now suitable for water-free alkene-alkane separation.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un film polymère étiré, comprenant (A) un polymère ou un mélange de polymères, et au moins (B) un autre composant présentant un diamètre de particules moyen compris entre 0,1 et 15 ñm, qui est traité au cours d'une ou de plusieurs étapes (C), après l'étirage, pour permettre l'obtention d'une membrane. Le diamètre de particules moyen du composant (B) se situe dans une plage comprise entre 0,002 et 15 ñm. Les membranes obtenues sont utilisées pour la séparation alcène-alcane, l'électrodialyse, le dessalement de l'eau de mer, ainsi que dans des applications de piles à combustible et d'autres applications de membranes.
