β¦ Synopsis
Permeation of gases through single surfactant stabilized aqueous films has previously been studied in view of the potentiality of foam to separate gaseous mixtures. The earher analysis assumed that the gas phase was well mixed and that the mass-transfer process was completely controlled by the liquid film. Permeabilities evaluated from single film data based on such analysis failed to predict the mass-transfer data obtained on permeation through two films. It is shown that the neglect of gas-phase resistance and the effect of film movement is the reason for the failure of the well-mixed gas models. An exact analysis of diffusion through two films is presented. It successfully predicts the experimental data on two films based on parameters evaluated from single film data.

The permeation of several different permanent gases through plasma polymer membranes was studied. The plasma polymers were produced by a microwave discharge of various fluorine-containing monomers. Plasma polymers made from fluorine-rich monomers (F/C = 1) yield films with the highest selectivities;
The theory of the permeation of effectively spherical molecules of gases and vapors (permeants) through films of compact amorphous solids such as polymers is developed using the activated-jump model (AJM). The conventional view is that permeation has to be analyzed as the resultant of sorption (solu
