Abstract
The solubility of CO~2~ and CH~4~ in five polyimides was measured at 35.0Β°C and at pressures up to 10 atm (147 psia). The concentration of the penetrant gases dissolved in the polymers can be represented satisfactorily as a function of penetrant pressure by the βdualβmode sorptionβ model. The solubility coefficients for CO~2~ and CH~4~, S(CO~2~) and S(CH~4~), increase in the polyimide order:
The magnitude of the solubility coefficients appears to depend primarily on the intermolecular forces between the penetrant gases and the polymers. The values of these coefficients are greater for the polyimides with larger mean interchain spacings, but no oneβtoβone correspondence appears to exist in this respect. The lower solubility of CO~2~ in PMDAβ4,4'βmβAPPS compared with that in the 6FDA polyimides may be due to the lower βexcessβ free volume of the former polymer. The ratio S (CO~2~)/S (CH~4~) varies relatively little for a variety of PMDA and 6FDA polyimides.

The solubility of CO 2 in milk was studied at temperatures of 25, 38 and 50Β°C and at pressures up to 6.9 MPa using a static method with an accuracy of 5%. These data are important for the design and control of processes which use CO 2 for precipitation of casein from milk. The solubility of CO 2 in
R&D NOTE ## S ulpholane is a polar solvent, miscible with water and a good solvent for many compounds. It is a physical solvent, in that there is no chemical reaction when gases dissolve in it. Sulpholane is used in the Sulfi nol process, where it is mixed with water and an alkanolamine (Dunn et
Mean permeability coefficients for CHI and COz (PcH, and pco2) in cellulose acetate (CA, DS = 2.45) were determined at 35Β°C (95'F) and at pressures up to about 54 atm (800 psia). The measurements were made with pure CHI and COP as well as with CH4/C02 mixtures containing 9.7, 24.0, and 46.1 mol % CO
