Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention generally relates to polymeric membrane materials formed, at least in part, from monomeric material selected from 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (CF 3 CF═CH 2 , HFO-1234yf) or trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (CF 3 CH═CFH, HFO-1234ze), and to membrane preparations and uses thereof in water desalination, filtration, membrane distillation, pervaporation, and selective gas separation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A membrane consisting of a copolymer having units based on vinylidene fluoride (“VDF”) monomer and more than 30 wt % of units based on trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene monomer. 2. The membrane of claim 1 wherein said copolymer has more than 50 wt % of units based on trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene monomer. 3. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is asymmetric integrally skinned. 4. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is a thin film composite membrane. 5. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane has a flat sheet configuration. 6. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane has a hollow fiber configuration. 7. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is a reverse osmosis membrane. 8. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is selected from the group consisting of microfiltration membranes, ultrafiltration membranes, and nanofiltration membranes. 9. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is a pervaporation membrane. 10. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is a distillation membrane. 11. The membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is porous.
