The membrane with continuously varying and pressure-dependent local permeability P may show a dependence of transport property for gases and vapors on the direction of flow. Such an asymmetry occurs only if the deviation of local permeability from ideality varies from layer to layer. In mathematical

β¦ Synopsis
Permeability and selectivity of CO,, O,, N,, and CH4 were determined for the asymmetric membrane of aromatic polyimide derived from 2,2'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and 3,3'-diaminodiphenyIsuIfone (m-DDS) at 35Β°C and at pressure up to 76 cmHg. The average apparent skin layer thickness of all asymmetric membranes measured was 2.6 pm. The selectivities for (O,/N,) and (CO,/CH,) in the membranes were 11.5 at 0, permeance of 3.2 X [cm3(STP)/ cm2 s cmHg], respectively, without the necessity of an additional coating process. The average gas selectivities of the asymmetric membranes were much larger than those determined for the dense membranes. The effect of the microstructure of polyimide on the gas selectivity is discussed. 0
