Definitions
- the invention relates to membrane-based gas separation processes.
- the invention relates to gas separation processes using copolymer membranes containing perfluorodioxolane monomers.
- TFE tetrafluoroethylene
- U.S. Patent No. 3,308,107 discloses a similar dioxolane derivative, perfluoro-2-methylene-4-methyl-l,3-dioxolane. Homopolymers and copolymers of perfluoro- 2-methylene-4-methyl-l ,3-dioxolane with TFE are also disclosed.
- the present invention relates to a process for separating components of a gas mixture whereby the gas mixture is passed across an improved separation membrane having a selective layer formed from a copolymer of perfluorodioxolane monomers.
- the invention is a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture, comprising:
- Membranes previously developed for gas separation processes have incorporated the use of amorphous homopolymers of perfluorinated dioxoles, dioxolanes, or cyclic acid ethers, or copolymers of these with tetrafluoroethylene.
- TFE results in membranes that lack high selectivities for components of a gas mixture.
- particularly preferred materials for the selective layer of the membrane used to carry out the process of the invention are perfluorodioxolane monomers selected from the group consisting of the structures found in Table 1 , below:
- An important advantage of the present invention is that use of perfluonnated dioxolane copolymers in the membrane can result in higher selectivity for desired gases than can be obtained using prior art membranes that incorporate TFE or cyclic perfluonnated homopolymers.
- the present invention relates to a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture, comprising:
- Representative membranes having particularly high selectivity are those formed from perfluoro-2-methylene-l,3-dioxolane and perfluoro-2-methylene-4,5-dimethyl-l ,3-dioxolane.
- a most preferred copolymer is one having the structure:
- the copolymer is a dipolymer containing at least 25 mol % or greater of perfluoro-2-methylene-l ,3-dioxolane.
- the membranes and processes of the invention are useful for many gas separation applications. Specific examples include, but are not limited to the separation of various gases, for example, nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen from methane.
- the gas mixture may contain at least two components, designated component A and component B, that are to be separated from each other and optionally another component or components in the stream.
- the permeating desired gas may be either a valuable gas that is desired to retrieve as an enriched product, or a contaminant that is desired to remove.
- the permeate stream or the residue stream, or both may be the useful products of the process.
- the invention is a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture wherein component A is hydrogen and component B is methane.
- a gas mixture may be found in a steam reforming process,
- the process of the invention may be used to recover hydrogen from synthesis gas, to remove carbon dioxide from synthesis gas, or to adjust the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in synthesis gas.
- the invention is a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture wherein component A is carbon dioxide and component B is methane. This process may be involved in carbon capture and storage or used in the separation of C0 2 from natural gas.
- the invention is a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture wherein component A is nitrogen and component B is methane. This process may be involved in removing nitrogen from nitrogen-contaminated natural gas.
- the invention is a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture wherein component A is helium and component B is methane. This process may be useful for producing helium through natural gas extraction and subsequent purification.

- Figure 2 is a graph showing H 2 /CH 4 selectivity as a function of H 2 permeance for membranes made from commercial perfluoropolymers (Cytop®, Hyflon® AD, and Teflon® AF) and Polymers 443, 444, and 445.

- Figure 4 is a graph showing He/CH 4 selectivity as a function of He permeance for membranes made from commercial perfluoropolymers (Cytop®, Hyflon® AD, and Teflon® AF) and Polymers 443, 444, and 445.
- Figure 5 is a graph showing C0 2 /CH 4 selectivity as a function of C0 2 permeance for membranes made from commercial perfluoropolymers (Cytop®, Hyflon® AD, and Teflon® AF) and Polymers 443, 444, and 445.
- gas means a gas or a vapor.
- polymer as used herein generally includes, but is not limited to, homopolymers, copolymers, such as for example, block, graft, random and alternating copolymers, terpolymers, etc. and blends and modifications thereof. Furthermore, unless otherwise specifically limited, the term “polymer” shall include all possible geometrical configurations of the material. These configurations include, but are not limited to, isotactic and atactic symmetries.
- highly fluorinated means that at least 90% of the total number of halogen and hydrogen atoms attached to the polymer backbone and side chains are fluorine atoms.
- the terms “fully- fluorinated” and “periluorinated” as used herein are interchangeable and refer to a compound where all of the available hydrogen bonded to carbon have been replaced by fluorine.
- the invention relates to a process for separating two components, A and B, of a gas mixture.
- the separation is carried out by running a stream of the gas mixture across a membrane that is selective for the desired component to be separated from another component.
- the desired component to be separated into the permeate may be either Component A or Component B.
- the process results, therefore, in a permeate stream enriched in the desired component and a residue stream depleted in that component.
- the process of the invention includes the following steps:
- At least the selective layer responsible for the gas discriminating properties of the membrane is made from a glassy copolymer.
- the copolymer should be substantially amorphous. Crystalline polymers are typically essentially insoluble and thus render membrane making difficult, as well as exhibiting generally very low gas permeabilities. Crystalline polymers are not normally suitable for the selective layer, therefore.
- the selective layer copolymer should be fluorinated, and generally the degree of fluorination should be high to increase the chemical inertness and resistance of the material.
- high we mean having a fluorine:carbon ratio of atoms in the polymer of at least 1 : 1.
- the polymer is perfluorinated, even if the perfluorinated structure has less than a 1 :1 fluorineicarbon ratio.
- copolymeric selective layer may be used for the copolymeric selective layer to meet the characterizing requirements. These include copolymers comprising perfluorinated dioxolane monomers.
- the perfluorinated dioxolane monomers as described herein are characterized by a 1 ,3-dioxolane ring, having the general form:
- Preferred monomers may be selected from perfluoro-2-methylene- 1 ,3-dioxolane or derivatives thereof containing various substituent groups at the fourth and fifth positions of the dioxolane ring. These monomers are represented by the structures found in Table 1, above.
- dioxolanes can be prepared by acetalization of aldehydes and ketalization of ketones with ethylene glycol. Formulations embracing those suitable for use in the invention are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,308, 107; 5,051,1 14; 7,754,901 ; 7,635,780; and 8,168,808, incorporated herein by reference.
- the homopolymers of the monomers in Table 1 may be prepared by direct fluorination of hydrocarbon precursors and polymerized using perfluoro dibenzoyl peroxide as a free radical initiator to yield a linear polymer.
- the resulting polymers are soluble in fluorinated solvents, such as hexafluorobenzene, perfluoro-hexane, and fluorinated FC43 (3MTM). Copolymerization of the monomers in Table 1 may also be carried out in bulk and in a hexafluorobenzene solution using perfluoro dibenzoyl peroxide.
- fluorinated solvents such as hexafluorobenzene, perfluoro-hexane, and fluorinated FC43 (3MTM).
- the selective layer comprises a copolymer of the perfluorodioxolane monomers found in Table 1.
- the separation membrane may have a selective layer comprising a copolymer formed from a first perfluorodioxolane monomer and a second, different perfluorodioxolane monomer. Any combination of perfluorodioxolane monomers found in Table 1 may be used.
- a homopolymer of perfluoro-2-methylene-l ,3-dioxolane is crystalline in nature, which was confirmed by Mikes et al., "Characterization and Properties of Semicrystalline and Amorphous Perfluoropolymer: poly(perfluoro-2-methylene-l ,3- dioxolane),” Polymers for Advanced Technologies, v. 22, pp. 1272-1277 (201 1).
- This crystallinity reflects the ability of the repeat unit in the homopolymer of Monomer H to pack tightly, forming ordered structures.
- Monomer H does not dissolve in fluorinated solvents.
- copolymerizing Monomer H with another dioxolane monomer from Table 1 in the appropriate amounts results in an amorphous structure, which is desirable for gas separation membrane materials.
- the copolymer may comprise more than two perfluorodioxolane monomers.
- the separation membrane has a selective layer comprising a copolymer formed from a first perfluorodioxolane monomer having the formula
- the separation membrane has a selective layer comprising a copolymer formed from a first perfluorodioxolane monomer having the formula
- the copolymer comprises monomers of perfluoro-2-methylene- 1 ,3-dioxolane (Monomer H) and perfluoro-2-methylene-4,5-dimethyl-l ,3,-dioxolane (Monomer D).
- Figure 1 shows the effect of the ratio of Monomers D and H on the performance of the resulting gas separation membrane.
- An appropriate amount of Monomer D (or another monomer from Table 1 other than Monomer H) is required to yield an amorphous copolymer with Monomer H.
- an appropriate amount of Monomer H is required to yield copolymers with high selectivity; too much of Monomer D (or another monomer from Table 1 other than Monomer H) results in an amorphous copolymer with relatively low gas selectivity.
- a preferred proportion of Monomer H is at least 25 mol %, more preferably at least 40 mol %, and most preferable at least 55 mol %.
- the preferred copolymer has just enough of Monomer D, or in a different embodiment, another monomer selected from Table 1 other than Monomer H, to give an amorphous copolymer, but retains enough of Monomer H to yield high gas selectivity.
- the bonding of the monomers occurs outside the main dioxolane ring. This process is different than dioxole polymerization, which polymerize by the opening of a double bond within a five-member ring.
- the copolymer is an ideal random copolymer.
- the selective layer of the separation membrane may comprise a copolymer fonned from a perfluorodioxolane monomer selected from the group consisting of the structures found in Table 1 and a perfluorodioxole monomer, such as Teflon® AF and Hyflon® AD, or a polyperfluoro (alkenyl vinyl ether) monomer, such as Cytop®.
- a perfluorodioxolane monomer selected from the group consisting of the structures found in Table 1 and a perfluorodioxole monomer, such as Teflon® AF and Hyflon® AD, or a polyperfluoro (alkenyl vinyl ether) monomer, such as Cytop®.
- the copolymer chosen for the selective layer can be used to fonn films or membranes by any convenient technique known in the art, and may take diverse fonns. Because the polymers are glassy and rigid, an unsupported film, tube or fiber of the polymer may be usable in principle as a single-layer membrane. However, such single-layer films will normally be too thick to yield acceptable transmembrane flux, and in practice, the separation membrane usually comprises a very thin selective layer that forms part of a thicker structure. This may be, for example, an integral asymmetric membrane, comprising a dense skin region that forms the selective layer and a microporous support region.
- the membrane may be a composite membrane, that is, a membrane having multiple layers.
- Modern composite membranes typically comprise a highly permeable but relatively non-selective support membrane, which provides mechanical strength, coated with a thin selective layer of another material that is primarily responsible for the separation properties.
- a composite membrane is made by solution-casting the support membrane, then solution- coating the selective layer.
- General preparation techniques for making composite membranes of this type are well known, and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,243,701 to Riley et al., incorporated herein by reference.
- the membrane may take flat-sheet, tube or hollow-fiber form.
- the most preferred support membranes are those with an asymmetric structure, which provides a smooth, comparatively dense surface on which to coat the selective layer. Support membranes are themselves frequently cast onto a backing web of paper or fabric.
- a composite membrane by solution-casting the polymer directly onto a non-removable backing web, as mentioned above.
- multilayer composite membranes may be made by a coating procedure as taught, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,863,761 ; 5,242,636; and 5,156,888, or by using a double-capillary spinneret of the type taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,141 ,642 and 5,318,417.
- a gutter layer may optionally be used between the support membrane and the selective layer, for example to smooth the support surface and channel fluid to the support membrane pores.
- the support membrane is first coated with the gutter layer, then with the perfluoro selective layer as described herein.
- the membranes exhibit a combination of good mechanical properties, thermal stability, and high chemical resistance.
- the fluorocarbon polymers that form the selective layer are typically insoluble except in perfluorinated solvents and are resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, low-molecular-weight esters, ethers and ketones, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and oxidizing agents, making them suitable for use not only in the presence of C 3+ hydrocarbons, but in many other hostile environments.
- the membranes of the invention may be prepared in any known membrane form and housed in any convenient type of housing and separation unit. We prefer to prepare the membranes in flat-sheet form and to house them in spiral-wound modules. However, flat- sheet membranes may also be mounted in plate-and-frame modules or in any other way. If the membranes are prepared in the form of hollow fibers or tubes, they may be potted in cylindrical housings or otherwise.
- the membrane separation unit comprises one or more membrane modules.
- the number of membrane modules required will vary according to the volume of gas to be treated, the composition of the feed gas, the desired compositions of the penneate and residue streams, the operating pressure of the system, and the available membrane area per module.
- Systems may contain as few as one membrane module or as many as several hundred or more.
- the modules may be housed individually in pressure vessels or multiple elements may be mounted together in a sealed housing of appropriate diameter and length.
- the membranes and processes of the invention are useful in applications for producing hydrogen or chemicals from hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as reforming or gasification processes followed by separation or chemical synthesis.
- Steam reforming is well known in the chemical processing arts, and involves the fonnation of various gas mixtures commonly known as synthesis gas or syngas from a light hydrocarbon feedstock, steam and optionally other gases, such as air, oxygen or nitrogen.
- Synthesis gas usually contains at least hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane, but the exact composition can be varied depending on its intended use.
- Plant design and process operating conditions thus differ in their details, but the steam reforming process always includes a basic steam/hydrocarbon reforming reaction step, carried out at high temperature and elevated pressure, and one or more subsequent treatments of the raw synthesis gas to remove carbon dioxide or make other adjustments to the gas composition.
- the processes of the invention are expected to be especially useful in carrying out such treatments.
- the invention is a process for separating carbon dioxide from methane, especially if the mixture also contains C 3+ hydrocarbon vapors.
- a mixture might be encountered during the processing of natural gas, of associated gas from oil wells, or of certain petrochemical streams, for example.
- the processes of the invention are expected to be useful as part of the gas treatment train, either in the field or at a gas processing plant, for example,
- the invention is a process for recovering helium from natural gas.
- Helium is a rare gas on Earth. Almost all of the commercial helium requirements are supplied by extraction from helium-containing natural gas by low temperature fractional distillation processes. The resulting helium rich gases are further purified or refined using additional cryogenic distillation steps or by pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes which selectively remove other gases. These final refining steps result in commercial grades of helium in excess of 99.9%.
- PSA pressure swing adsorption
- the processes of the invention are expected to be useful in replacing or supplementing one or more of the unit operations in the helium recovery plant.
- the invention is a process for separating nitrogen from natural gas.
- the goal will often be to reduce the nitrogen content of the natural gas to no more than about 4% nitrogen, which is an acceptable total inerts value for pipeline gas. In other circumstances, a higher or lower nitrogen target value may be required.
- the processes of the invention are expected to be useful in field or plant equipment as stand alone or supplementary units to meet the desired nitrogen concentration target.
- the invention is a process for separating oxygen from nitrogen.
- Oxygen is used to enhance the combustion of all fuels, enabling improved burning zone control, and lowering emissions.
- the present invention is expected to yield enriched oxygen that can be used advantageously in combustion processes, such as kilns, or when using low-grade fuels, where reduction in ballast nitrogen is beneficial.
- the invention is a process for separating water from alcohols, such as ethanol, particularly bioethanol produced from natural sources.
- alcohols such as ethanol
- bioethanol produced from natural sources.
- a major drawback to more economical use of bioethanol as a fuel is the energy used to grow the feedstock, to ferment it, and to separate a dry ethanol product from the fermentation broth.
- the processes of the invention are expected to be useful in lowering the energy costs associated with ethanol separation (dehydration).
- Composite membranes were prepared using homopolymer and copolymer solutions prepared from the monomers found in Table 2. For Polymers 443-445, different compositions (mol %) of Monomers D and H were used.
- perfluoro selective layers were coated onto support membranes, either on a small coater or by hand coating, and the membranes were finished by oven drying. Samples of each finished composite membrane were then cut into 13.8 cm stamps.
- the membranes were dried in order to remove any residual solvents and then tested in a permeation test-cell apparatus with pure gases at room temperature, 50 psig feed pressure, and 0 psig penneate pressure. The gas fluxes of the membranes were measured, and the permeances and selectivities were calculated.
- Polymer 443 has better selectivity performance for pure gas pairs than Hyflon® AD, Cytop®, and Teflon® AF.
- Polymer 443 performed well above the upper bound tradeoff line defined by the conventional perfluoropolymer membranes for hydrogen/methane, nitrogen/methane, helium/methane, and carbon dioxide/methane separations.
