Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membrane is made by pyrolyzing a film or hollow fiber membrane made of a polyimide polymer or copolymer essentially consisting of repeating units of dianhydride-derived units and diamine-derived units. At least 50% of the dianhydride-derived units are derived from 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane (6FDA). At least 50% of the diamine-derived units are derived from 2,5-diethyl-6-methyl-1,3-diamino benzene (DETDA).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membrane, comprising the steps of forming films or hollow fibers made of a polyimide polymer or copolymer to produce a precursor membrane, and pyrolyzing the precursor membrane under conditions sufficient to form a CMS membrane, wherein: the polyimide polymer or copolymer essentially consisting of repeating units of dianhydride-derived units and diamine-derived units; each dianhydride-derived unit being the dianhydride-derived moiety of formula (I): at least 50% but not all of the diamine-derived units are the diamine-derived moiety of formula (A) with the balance of the diamine-derived units being the diamine-derived moiety of formula (H): each R a is a —COOH group; X 1 and X 3 are ethyl groups; X 2 is a methyl group; X 4 is H. 2. The CMS membrane made according to the method of claim 1 .
