    technical field
    [001] The present application generally refers to carbon molecular sieve membranes, particularly carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membranes, their preparation and their use, to effect the separation between an olefin and a paraffin, especially to effect the separation of two or more olefins from a feed stream comprising the two olefins and their corresponding paraffins (same number of carbon atoms (eg ethylene as an olefin and ethane as its corresponding paraffin). The feed stream may comprise one or more of other gaseous components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, acetylene, methylacetylene, propadiene, acetaldehyde, butane, 1,3-butadiene, oxygen, nitrogen and helium. The same carbon molecular sieve membrane can be used in a second separation to separate the olefin(s) from other feed stream components that remain after separation from the paraffins.
    [002] Several hydrocarbon product streams comprise a mixture of alkanes (also known as "paraffins") and alkenes (also known as "olefins") ranging from those containing one carbon atom (C1) to those containing six or more carbon atoms (C6+). The blend composition varies according to the processes used to convert a raw material into a hydrocarbon product stream, with a steam cracker producing a blend composition different from propane dehydrogenation. If it is desirable to remove a fraction from the product stream that includes ethane and components such as methane, ethylene, hydrogen and propane, then typically conventional technology known as “cryogenic distillation” is employed. See, for example, US Patent No. 6,705,113. A drawback of cryogenic distillation on a commercial scale is its requirement of significant energy use and considerable capital expenditure.
    [003] As an alternative to separation via cryogenic distillation, US Patent Application Publication (US) 2002/0053284 (Koros et al.) describes a mixed matrix membrane capable of separating a desired gaseous component from gaseous mixtures, especially dioxide of carbon (CO2) from mixtures that include CO2 and methane. The membrane comprises small, discrete carbon molecular sieving entities or particles encapsulated in or embedded in a polymeric membrane. The molecular sieving entity is derived from the pyrolysis of any suitable polymeric material that results in an amorphous carbonized structure. Precursor polymeric materials suitable for pyrolysis can be prepared in any convenient way, such as sheets, tubes, hollow fibers, or powder. Preferred carbon molecular sieve particles prepared by pyrolysis of aromatic polymides or cellulosic particles are less than two micrometers (μm) in diameter. Pyrolysis temperatures range from a polymer decomposition temperature to its graphitization temperature (approximately 3000°C) with 250°C to 2500°C being typical and 450°C to 800°C being preferred. Carbonization of polymer precursor powder to a specific structural morphology and carbon decomposition involves controlling the heating protocol with three critical variables: temperature setpoints, rates at which temperature setpoints are reached (“ramp”) and amount of time at the temperature setpoints (“immersion”). Soaking times range up to 10 hours, with a minimum of one hour being typical. See also US 6,562,110 (Koros et al.) for descriptions relating to a pyrolyzed body prepared with a precursor selected from the group consisting of polyetherimides, polyimides, 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, 6FDA-6FpDA and 6FDA-IPDA. 6FDA means hexafluoro isopropylidene bis(phthalic anhydride) or 5,5'-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethylidene]-1,3-isobenzofurandione; IPDA means isopropylidenedianiline; DAM means 2,4,6-trimethyl-3,3-phenylenediamine; BPDA means 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride; and 6FpDA means 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dianiline.
    [004] Patent Cooperation Treaty Application (WO) 2010/042602 (Hosseini et al.) provides descriptions related to polymeric mixtures and carbonized polymeric mixtures, with a polymer based on monomers containing an imidazole group (ex: poly-2 ,2'-(1,3-phenylene)-5,5'-bibenzylimidazole (PBI) together with a second polymer such as a polyimide (eg MATRIMIDTM 5128 known as poly-[3,3',4,tetracarboxylic dianhydride 4'-benzophenone) or a polyimide containing 6FDA groups), a polysulfone, a polyethersulfone, a polyarylate, polystyrene, a polyketone, a polyetherketone, or a polyamide-imide to effect the separation of methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2) and CO2.
    [005] The US patent US 4,690,873 (Makino et al.) describes a material for gas separation that has a desirable coefficient of permeability to CO2 and that comprises an aromatic imide polymer. The aromatic imide polymer also exhibits, as reported, selectivity in separating other gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from each other.
    [006] WO 2010/042602 (Hosseini et al.) provides descriptions relating to a composition that includes a mixture of a first polymer containing monomers, each containing an imidazole group, and a second polymer (eg, polyimide or polyamide-imide) , either or both of the first and second polymers being cross-linked. The mixture can be converted into a carbonized composition, a polymeric membrane or a carbon membrane (either in the form of a flat sheet or hollow fiber). Polymeric and carbon membranes can be used to separate and purify gases or liquids. Illustrative polyimides include conventional and fluorinated polyimides such as those marketed as MATRIMID™ 5218 and those containing groups such as 6FDA groups. A carbon membrane can be used for CO2/CH4 separation. Carbonization of a membrane can occur via pyrolysis of a polymeric mixture precursor or transparent film under vacuum (eg, 0.1 millibar to 10 millibars).
    [007] Polymeric membrane materials find use in processes in which a feed gas mixture contacts an upstream membrane side, resulting in a permeate mixture on the downstream membrane side with a concentration of one of the components in the feed greater than the composition of the original feed gas mixture. By maintaining a pressure differential between the upstream and downstream sides, a driving force for permeation is provided. The downstream side can be held under vacuum (subatmospheric pressure) or at any pressure below the pressure of the upstream side.
    [008] The performance of the membrane, sometimes characterized by flux of a gaseous component through the membrane, can be expressed as a quantity called permeability (P), which is a flux normalized in pressure and thickness of a given component. Separation of a gaseous mixture can be achieved through a membrane that allows a faster permeation rate of one component (ie, greater permeability) in relation to that of another component. The efficiency of the membrane in enriching one component relative to another component in a permeate stream can be expressed as an amount called selectivity (ratio of permeabilities of gaseous components across the membrane, i.e. PA/PB, where A and B are both components).
    [009] There is a desire to separate olefins from paraffins present in a feed stream that contains at least one olefin, preferably at least two olefins, and corresponding paraffin(s). There is also a desire to separate such olefin(s) from other components of a feed stream after separating an olefin/paraffin.
    [010] In some aspects, the present invention is a process for preparing a hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve membrane, such a process comprising a series of sequential steps as described below:
    [011] a. using a combination of spinning conditions, converting a spinning dope into a hollow fiber membrane, the spinning dope comprising from 15 percent by weight (% by weight) to 35% by weight, preferably from 20% by weight to 30 % by weight of a polyimide, from 20% by weight to 85% by weight, preferably from 40% by weight to 60% by weight, of low volatility water-soluble solvents for polyimide, from 0% by weight to 10% by weight, preferably from 0% by weight to 6.5% by weight of non-volatile non-solvents, from 0% by weight to 40% by weight, preferably from 10% by weight to 30% by weight of water-soluble non-solvents volatiles, and from 0% by weight to 85% by weight, preferably from 5% by weight to 15% by weight of a volatile water-soluble organic solvent, each % by weight being based on the total weight of the spinning dope and when added together for a spinning dope equal to 100% by weight;
    [012] b. pyrolyze the hollow fiber membrane at a temperature in a range from 450 degrees centigrade (°C) to 900°C, preferably from 500°C to 550°C, using a purge gas comprising an inert gas and oxygen, the oxygen being present in an amount greater than 0 moles per million moles of purge gas at a value equal to or less than 50 moles per million moles of purge gas, the purge gas flowing at a rate included in a range of 2 centimeters per minute (cm/min) to 100 cm/min, preferably from 5 cm/min to 25 cm/min; and
    [013] c. subjecting the pyrolyzed hollow fiber membrane to a post-pyrolysis treatment which comprises conditioning the pyrolyzed hollow fiber membrane in an atmosphere that is substantially free of water, water vapor, gaseous organic compounds and organic liquids for a period of time of at least 72 hours after cooling, from final pyrolysis temperature to room temperature, before exposure to purge gas.
    [014] The aforementioned combination of sequential steps produces a carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane that has an ethylene permeance of at least 0.1 gas permeation unit, a propylene permeance of at least 0.1 unit of gas permeation, provided that the ethylene permeance is at least 2 times the ethane permeance and the propylene permeance is at least 4 times the propane permeance and provided that still the propylene permeance is at least 1.5 times the ethane permeance. The aforementioned carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane can be used to effect the separation of olefin/paraffin as well as the separation of such olefins from a feed stream containing such olefin(s) and its(s) ) corresponding paraffin(s) after an olefin/paraffin separation step.
    [015] In some aspects of the invention, the combination of spinning conditions for step c. comprises a per-wire spinning dope flow rate in a range of 50 to 500 milliliters per hour (ml/h), a borehole fluid flow rate in a range of 50 to 500 ml/h, a spinner temperature (" spinneret") in a range from 20°C to 90°C, preferably from 50°C to 70°C, a rapid cooling water temperature in a range from 0°C to 65°C, preferably from 20°C to 50°C C, a gap/opening in a range of 0.1 centimeter (cm) to 50 cm, preferably 1 cm to 30 cm, and a fiber take-up rate in a range of 1 to 100 meters per minute (M/min), preferably from 5M/minute to 50M/minute.
    [016] In some aspects, the sequential step c occurs under subatmospheric pressure in a range from 0.1 Pascal to 2000 Pascals and for a period of time of at least 12 hours.
    [017] In some aspects, the pyrolysis step b comprises substeps as follows:
    [018] 1). heat the hollow fiber membrane in temperature; and
    [019] 2). keep the hollow fiber membrane heated to a maximum temperature in the range for a period of time ranging from 1 minute to 500 minutes. The range is preferably from 500°C to 560°C, more preferably from 545°C to 555°C.
    [020] In some aspects, the present invention is a process for effecting the separation of at least one olefin from a gas mixture comprising the olefin in admixture with its corresponding paraffin and optionally one or more selected gaseous components of hydrogen, a olefin other than the olefin and a paraffin other than the corresponding paraffin, which process comprises interposing the hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve prepared as described above into a flow of the gas mixture under conditions sufficient for at least a portion of the olefin to pass through the sieve while blocking the passage of at least a portion of the corresponding paraffin through the sieve. In a preferred variation of this process, the gas mixture comprises at least two olefins and their corresponding paraffins, and the conditions are sufficient for at least a portion of each of the olefins to pass through the sieve while blocking the passage of at least a portion of one of the corresponding paraffins by the sieve. In an even more preferred variation, the two olefins are ethylene and propylene and the corresponding paraffins are ethane and propane.
    [021] In some embodiments, the aforementioned process of effecting the separation of an olefin or at least two olefins from a gas mixture comprising said olefin(s) in admixture with its corresponding paraffin(s), is modified to accommodate the treatment of a gas mixture that also comprises at least one additional gas component selected from the group consisting of acetylene, hydrogen, propadiene and methylacetylene and the conditions are sufficient for at least a portion of the gas component(s) s) additional and at least a portion of the olefin(s) pass the sieve while blocking the passage of at least a portion of the corresponding paraffins through the sieve. A preferred variation of the modified process comprises an additional step in which the gases passing through the sieve are subjected to a second separation using the same hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve, prepared as described above, or a second hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve, prepared as described above, said second separation occurring under conditions sufficient for a portion of the additional gaseous component(s) to pass through the hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve while blocking the passage of at least a portion of the ) olefin(s) by hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve. Brief description of drawings
    [022] Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a process flow diagram showing a combination of three hollow fiber carbon molecular sieve membrane units M1, M2 and M3 in combination with an acetylene hydrogenation reactor (Rxr ) and two distillation units (“Demethanizer Dist” and “Olefin Separator Dist”) and feed streams, as well as product or output streams from each of the units and the reactor.
    [023] Suitable low volatility water soluble solvents are selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide and combinations thereof.
    [024] Suitable non-volatile non-solvents are selected from the group consisting of lithium nitrate, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and combinations thereof.
    [025] Suitable volatile water soluble non-solvents are selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, propanol, water and combinations thereof.
    [026] Suitable volatile water-soluble organic solvents are selected from tetrahydrofuran, acetone and combinations thereof.
    [027] The polyimide is suitably a conventional and fluorinated polyimide. Desirable polyimides contain at least two different moieties selected from 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenylene diamine (DAM), oxidianaline (ODA), dimethyl-3,7-diaminodiphenyl-thiophene-5,5'-dioxide ( DDBT), 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA), 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylene diamine (durene), meta-phenylenediamine (m-PDA), 2,4-diaminotoluene(2, 4-DAT), tetramethylmethylenedianaline (TMMDA), 4,4'-diamino 2,2'-biphenyl disulfonic acid (BDSA); 5,5'-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethylidene]-1,3-isobenzofurandione (6FDA), 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), 1,4,5,8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA), and benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA), with two or more of 6FDA, BPDA and DAM being preferred.
    [028] A particularly useful polyimide, designated as 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, can be synthesized via thermal or chemical processes, from a combination of three monomers: DAM; 6FDA and BPDA, each supplied commercially, for example, by Sigma-Aldrich Corporation. Formula 1 below shows a representative structure for 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, with the potential to adjust the relationship between X and Y and tune polymer properties. As used in the examples below, a 1:1 ratio of X component and Y component can also be abbreviated as 6FDA/BPDA(1:1)-DAM.
    Formula 1 - Chemical structure of 6FDA/BPDA-DAM
    [029] A second particularly useful polyimide, designated as 6FDA-DAM is devoid of BPDA, so that Y equals zero in Formula 1 above. Formula 2 below shows a representative structure for this polyimide.
    Formula 2 - Chemical structure of 6FDA-DAM
    [030] A third useful polyimide is MATRIMIDTM 5218 (Huntsman Advanced Materials), a commercially available polyimide that is a copolymer of 3,3',4,4'-benzophenatetracarboxylic acid and 5(6)-amino-1 dianhydride -(4'-aminophenyl)-1,3,3-trimethylindane (BTDA-DAPI).
    [031] Preferred polymeric precursor hollow fiber membranes, with hollow fibers as produced but not pyrolyzed, are substantially free of defects. "Defect-free" means that the selectivity of a gaseous pair, typically oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2), over a hollow fiber membrane, has at least 90% of the selectivity for the same gaseous pair in a dense film prepared with the same composition used for manufacturing the polymeric precursor hollow fiber membrane. By way of illustration, a 6FDA/BPDA (1:1)-DAM polymer has an intrinsic O2/N2 selectivity (also known as “dense film selectivity”) of 4.1, whereas 6FDA/BPDA fibers(1 ) :1)-DAM prepared as in Ex 1 below, have an O2/N2 selectivity of 4.8. The fiber selectivity of 4.8 is well above the defect-free threshold, as 90% of 4.1 is 3.7.
    [032] Hollow fibers and hollow fiber membranes can be prepared by conventional procedures, especially co-extrusion procedures including, for example, a dry jet wet state spinning process (in which there is a gap/opening between the spinner tip and a coagulation or rapid cooling bath) or a wet state spinning process (with zero slack distance). The example section below illustrates in more detail a suitable dry jet wet state spinning process preferred for use in the present invention.
    [033] Carbon membranes, sometimes referred to as carbon molecular sieves, either in the form of a sheet or hollow fiber, are formed through the pyrolysis of polymeric precursors. Its porous structure allows permeability (productivity in terms of effecting separation, for example, of gases), while its molecular sieving reticle provides efficient distinction of size and shape of molecules (selectivity). Furthermore, carbon membranes have sufficient chemical and thermal stability for use in the present invention.
    [034] The pyrolysis conditions influence the physical properties of carbon membrane and, consequently, are selected with care. Polymeric precursors can be carbonized under various inert gas purge or vacuum conditions, preferably under inert gas purge conditions, for vacuum pyrolysis, preferably under low pressures (eg less than 0.1 millibar). Any support means to retain the membrane precursor and the resulting carbon membrane can be used during pyrolysis, including intercalation between two wire mesh screens or the use of a stainless steel screen plate in combination with stainless steel wires, as described below. The example section found below contains two illustrative heating protocols up to 500 degrees centigrade (°C) and up to 550°C with specific heating rates typically controlled by an oven ramp function. A waiting time at the final temperature (eg 550°C) of two hours gives satisfactory results. The membranes are then cooled and recovered as described below.
    [035] The gas permeation properties of a membrane can be determined through gas permeation experiments. Two intrinsic properties are useful in evaluating the separation performance of a membrane material: its “permeability”, a measure of the intrinsic productivity of the membrane; and its "selectivity", a measure of membrane separation efficiency. Typically, one can determine the “permeability” in Barrer (1 Barrer=10-10[cm3 (STP)cm]/[cm2 s cmHg), calculated as the flux (ni) divided by the partial pressure difference between the membrane to downstream and upstream (Δpi) and multiplied by the membrane thickness (l).

    [036] Another term, "permeance", is defined here as the productivity of asymmetric hollow fiber membranes, typically being measured in Gas Permeation Units (GPU) (1 GPU=10-6[cm3(STP)]/[ cm2 s cmHg), determined by dividing the permeability by the effective thickness of the membrane separating layer.

    [037] Finally, "selectivity" is defined here as the capacity of a gas permeability by the membrane or the permeability relative to the same property of another gas. It is measured as a relationship without unity.

    [038] A polymeric powder preferably serves as a starting material for preparing carbon membranes of various aspects of the present invention. The polymer powder can be formed, for example, by grinding a polyimide powder using conventional methodology. Alternatively, polymeric films can be formed by solution casting a polyimide solution by conventional methodology, such as by casting over flat glass thickness with a variable thickness polymeric film applicator. Appropriate polyimides can be formed, for example, by reacting suitable dianhydrides with diamines, preferably an aromatic anhydride with an aromatic amine via condensation reactions to form an aromatic polyimide. Aromatic polyimides have rigid backbone structures with a high melting point and high glass transition temperatures (eg, greater than 200°C).
    [039] The olefin-paraffin carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane, prepared as described in the present invention with several practical uses, one of which being the placement and use of a membrane module containing the membrane in front of a deethaniser unit commonly used by the petrochemical industry. Such use has the potential for significant capital and operational savings in the purification of ethylene and propylene.
    [040] As noted above, Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a process flow scheme that incorporates the use of a combination of three M1, M2 and M3 carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membrane units in combination with a acetylene hydrogenation reactor (Rxr) and two distillation units (“Dist Demethanizer” and “Olefin Separator Dist” and associated feed streams, as well as product or output streams from each of said units and the reactor. process flow scheme differs from a conventional process flow scheme that starts with the same stream one and uses at least four distillation units (nominally one for demethanization or “Dist Demethanizer”, one for desethanization or “Dis Desetanizer” , one for ethylene purification or "C2 Separator" and one for propylene purification or "C3 Separator".) The C3 separation unit may comprise two or more distillation columns due to the number of stages necessary to effect the separation of propane and propylene due to their very similar volatilities or boiling points. The schematic illustration in Figure 1 shows only two distillation columns, one for demethanization, the same or nearly the same as the conventional process flow scheme, and one for effecting an olefin separation in place of either the C2 Separator or the C3 Separator of the conventional process flow scheme.
    [041] In Figure 1, Stream 1 contains hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethane, ethylene and acetylene (C2's) and propane, propylene, methylacetylene and propadiene (C3-s) . Stream 1 typifies the lighter of the two “cracked gas” fractions of an ethylene production unit (not shown), this fraction sometimes referred to as the top stream of a depropanizer unit. Plants built during the approximate period 1990 to the present date to crack primarily liquid liquids ("naphtha cracking plants") or a mixture of feeds ("flex cracking plants") typically have a depropanizer (not shown) as their first purification column.
    [042] When using a membrane to effect a separation, a portion, designated as "permeate" passes through the membrane, while another portion, designated as "retentate", does not pass through the membrane, to a large extent, when not completely. For the M1 membrane unit, the permeate, designated as "CHAIN 2" contains methylacetylene (C3H4 or "MA") and propadiene (C3H4 or "PD") and the retentate, designated as "CHAIN 3" contains hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4), ethane (C2H6), acetylene (C2H2), propylene (C3H6) and propane (C3H8).
    [043] CURRENT 3 serves as a feed stream for an "acetylene hydrogenation reactor" to remove acetylene, considered product impurity in a final ethylene product. The reactor product (Rxr), designated as “CURRENT 4”, typically contains less than one part per million parts by weight of C2H2 based on the total weight of CURRENT 4.
    [044] CURRENT 4 serves as the supply stream for the membrane unit M2, preferably containing the same carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber material as in M1, to effect the separation of H2 as permeate or CURRENT 5 from the remaining components of the CURRENT 4 as retentate to produce CURRENT 6 that has very little, preferably no H2.
    [045] The feed CURRENT 6 to the membrane unit M3, again preferably containing the same carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber material as in M1, to effect an olefin-paraffin separation, with olefins (C2H4 and C3H6) being present in permeate or CURRENT 7 and paraffins (CH4, C2H6 and C3H8) being present as retentate M3 or CURRENT 10.
    [046] CURRENT 7 feed to an olefin separator distillation unit to perform the separation of CURRENT 7 into CURRENT 8 (C2H40 and CURRENT 9 (C3H6) CURRENT 10 feed into a demethanizer distillation unit to carry out the separation of CURRENT 10 into CURRENT 11 (CH4) and CURRENT 12 (C2H6 and C3H8) Although not shown, CURRENT 11 from CH4 can be sent to an effluent gas system to be used as fuel, while the combined stream of ethane and Propane can be sent to an ethylene furnace as a recycling feedstock to produce additional cracked gas.
    [047] The following examples illustrate, but do not restrict any aspect of the present invention. Example (Ex) 1
    [048] Synthesize 6FDA/BPDA-DAM in powder form by condensing 6FDA and BPDA dianhydrides with diamine (DAM) in a 1:1 ratio of dianhydrides to diamine. The synthesis is a two-step reaction in which the first step produces a high molecular weight polyamic acid at low temperature (~5°C) and the second step or chemical imidization step followed by a post-chemical drying step at 210 °C under vacuum produces 6FDA/BPDA-DAM. See Qiu et al., Macromolecules 2011, 44, 6046.
    [049] Dry the 6FDA/BPDA-DAM powder in a vacuum oven operating at a set temperature of 110°C for 12 hours to remove residual moisture and volatile solvents.
    [050] Prepare a visually homogeneous spinning dope by placing a combination of 25 percent by weight (% by weight) 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, 43% by weight N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), 22% into weight of ethanol and 10% by weight of tetrahydrofuran (THF), each % by weight being based on the total weight of spinning dope, in a QorpakTM glass bottle sealed with a polytetrafluoroethylene (TEFLONTM) cap and placing the sealed bottle on a cylinder operating at a speed of 5 revolutions per minute (rpm) for a period of 15 days.
    [051] Load the homogeneous dope into a 500 milliliter (ml) syringe pump and let the dope degas overnight by heating the pump to a setpoint temperature of 50°C using a thermal tape.
    [052] Charge bore fluid (80% by weight NMP and 20% by weight water, based on total bore fluid weight) into a separate 100 ml syringe pump and then co-extrude the dope and fluid. hole by a spinner operating at a flow rate for each of 100 milliliters per hour (mL/h), filter both the hole fluid and the in-line dope between the discharge pumps and the spinner using 40 μm metal filters and 2 µm. Perform temperature control using thermocouples and thermal tape positioned over the spinner, dope filters and dope pump at a setpoint temperature of 70°C.
    [053] After passing through an opening of two centimeters (cm), immerse the nascent fibers formed by the spinner in a cooling bath (50°C), allowing the fibers to separate in phases. Collect the fibers using a 0.32 meter (M) diameter polyethylene drum operated on TEFLON guides and operating at a take-up rate of five meters per minute (M/min).
    [054] Cut the fibers from the drum, and then wash them at least four times in separate baths at an interval of 48 hours. Place the washed samples in glass containers and perform the solvent exchange three times with methanol for 20 minutes and then hexane for 20 minutes before recovering the fibers and drying them under vacuum at a set point temperature of 110°C per one hour.
    [055] Prior to pyrolysis, test a sample amount of the aforementioned fibers (also known as “precursor fibers”) for skin integrity after placing them in a membrane module. Place one or more hollow precursor fibers in stainless steel U” (0.64 cm) tubing (outer diameter, OD). Connect each end of tubing to a stainless steel “T” U” (0.64 cm) connector; and then connect each “T” connector to male/female U” NPT tube adapters” (0.64 cm); and seal the NPT connections with epoxy. Perform pure gas permeation tests in a constant volume system maintained at 35°C. For each permeation test, first evacuate the entire system and conduct a leak rate test to ensure that the leak is less than 1 percent of the slower gas permeation rate. After evacuation, pressurize the upstream end (end closest to the power source) of the tube with supply gas (e.g., pure oxygen or pure nitrogen), while maintaining the downstream end (end farthest from the power source) under vacuum. Record the temperature rise in a known constant downstream volume over time using LABVIEW software (National Instruments, Austin, TX) to achieve steady state. Determine the permeance of each gas across the membrane by the rate of pressure rise, membrane area, and pressure difference across the membrane. Calculate the selectivity of each gas pair as a ratio of the individual gas permeance.
    [056] Place the hollow precursor fibers on a stainless steel screen plate and connect them separately to the plate using stainless steel wire. Insert the combination of hollow fibers and screen plate into a quartz tube that sits in a tubular oven. Pyrolysis under an inert gas purge (argon flowing at a standard rate of 200 cubic centimeters per minute (sccm)) after first purging the tube furnace for a minimum of 6 hours to remove oxygen from the system. Use the following heating protocol for pyrolysis: a) Heat from 50°C to 250°C at a ramp rate of 13.3°C per minute (°C/min); b) Heat from 250°C to 535°C at a ramp rate of 3.85°C/min; c) Heat from 535°C to 550°C at a ramp rate of 0.25°C/min; and d) Immersion at 550°C for 2 hours. After the soaking time, turn off the heating and allow the membrane to cool in place under argon flow at 40°C before removing the screen support from the oven and recovering the pyrolyzed fibers.
    [057] Prepare the membrane modules as detailed above, using, however, pyrolyzed fibers instead of precursor fibers.
    [058] Place the membrane modules containing the pyrolyzed fibers in a constant volume permeation system to measure gas permeation at 35°C using ethylene and ethane at 100 pounds per square inch absolute (psia) (689.6 kilopascals ( kPa), propylene and propane at 50 psia (344.7 kPa) as test gases Table 1 below shows the transport properties.
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU, IGPU=106 [cm3(STP)]/[cm2 s cmHg]) The data presented in Table 1 above demonstrate that the membrane contained in the pyrolyzed fiber membrane module has a selective characteristic of olefins in which the permeance values of ethylene and propylene both exceed those of ethane and propane of the corresponding paraffins. Although the permeance for propylene exceeds that for ethylene, both propylene and ethylene have permeance values greater than unity. These results suggest that when a mixed feed stream of ethane, propane, ethylene and propylene is fed to the membrane, olefins, ethylene and propylene will tend to pass through the membrane thus producing a permeate stream enriched in both ethylene and propylene relative to feed stream and that the paraffins, ethane and propane tend to remain on the upstream side of the membrane, so that they are part of the retentate stream. Ex. 2 Repeat Ex. 1, but placing the membrane in a sealed atmosphere free of water, water vapor, gaseous organic compounds and organic liquids for one year, before testing the membrane as in Ex. 1. In addition, to stop avoid concentration bias, keep the retentate current flow rate at a level at least 100 times higher than the permeate flow rate. Use gas chromatography (GC) and an HP5890 GC unit with a sampling pressure in the range of 5 torr (666.6 pascal (Pa) to 10 torr (1333.2 Pa) to perform permeate composition analysis and calculate the based selectivity in the permeate composition. Because the permeate side pressure is very low compared to the feed pressure, use "separation factor", calculated using the following equation, to describe the selectivity:
    In the equation, yi and yj are molar fractions of gases i and j downstream, respectively, and xi and xj are molar fractions of gases y and j upstream . Table 2 below summarizes the transport properties. Table 2
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU)
    [059] The results in Table 2, when compared to those in Table 1, show a reduction in all gas permeance levels, although the selectivity values are stable or slightly increased in Table 2 compared to those in Table 1. Ex. 3
    [060] Evaluate Ex. 2 membrane for multi-component olefin/paraffin mixture separation using a feed mixture comprising demethanizer bottoms, a gas mixture containing predominantly hydrocarbons with two and three carbon atoms, and one device that maintains constant pressure and flow throughout the evaluation. Evaluate permeation at 25°C with a feed pressure of 60 psig (413.7 kPa) and 30 psig (206.8 kPa) of argon in the permeate sweep form and use gas chromatography to analyze the permeate. Collect permeate gas by sweeping with argon at the two gas sample valves on AGILENTTM 6890 GCs. Conduct analysis for hydrocarbons with a CHROMPAKTM alumina/potassium chloride column using conductive helium gas and a flame ionization detector (FID). Conduct analysis for gases such as hydrogen and argon that are not detected via FID using helium as the conductive gas and one of the GCs that is equipped with an HP-Molsiv column and a thermal conductivity detector (TCD). Table 3 shows feed and permeate compositions. Table 4 below summarizes the transport properties. Table 3
    Table 4
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU) Ex.4
    [061] Repeat Ex.3, but changing the feed mixture to a gas mixture containing hydrogen and methane, a gas mixture containing six components as shown in Table 5 below, which is typical of that fed to the demethanizer unit in industrial operations petrochemicals. Table 6 below summarizes the transport properties. Table 5
    Table 6*
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU)
    [062] As shown in Table 5, the permeate has very low levels of paraffin (ethane and propane) compared to the levels of paraffin present in the feed, demonstrating the effectiveness of the membrane modulus to separate olefins and paraffins. Methane and ethane have similar permeance values (Table 6) so that methane is also effectively separated from olefins, as shown in Table 5, although less effectively than separation of propane from feed. Due to its small size relative to other feed components, hydrogen has a higher permeance than all other feed components. Removal of hydrogen from the permeate can be accomplished through other means, if desired. Ex. 5
    [063] Repeat Ex. 3, but change the feed to a gas mixture containing acetylene (C2H2) as that suitable for feeding an acetylene hydrogenation front reactor. Table 7 below shows a gas mixture composition. Table 8 below summarizes the transport properties. Table 7
    Table 8
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU)
    [064] The data in Tables 7 and 8 show that almost 90 mole percent of the permeate is hydrogen, ethylene and propylene and that the acetylene content (C2H2, C3H4(propadiene) and C3H4 (methacetylene) increases by 0.48 moles per percent to 1.67 mole percent. Acetylenes can, if desired, be converted to ethylene and propylene in a further hydrogenation step.
    [065] Ex. 6
    [066] Carry out the pyrolysis as in Ex. 1, but changing the heating protocol as described below: a) heat from 50°C to 250°C at a ramp rate of 13.3°C per minute (°C /min); b) heating from 250°C to 485°C at a ramp rate of 3.85°C;min; c) heating from 485°C to 500°C at a ramp rate of 0.25°C/min; and d) Immersion at 500°C for 2 hours. Table 9 below summarizes the transport properties and shows that the pyrolysis protocol can be extended to 500°C. Table 9*
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU)
    [067] Prepare precursor fibers using a modification of the process of Ex. 1. First, replace 6FDA-DAM by 6FDA/BPDA-DAM, the 6FDA/DAM polyimide powder being synthesized through condensation reaction as in Ex. 1 using 2 ,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenylene diamine and 5,5'-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethylidene]-1,3-isobenzofurandione as monomers. Second, change the spinning dope to comprise 22% by weight 6FDA-DAM, 43% by weight NMP, 25% by weight EtOH and 10% by weight THF, all weight percentage numbers being based on the total weight of dope wiring. Third, change the dope and bore fluid flow rates to 50 mL/h. Fourth, change the distance from 2cm to 30cm.
    [068] The resulting precursor fibers have an O2/N2 selectivity of 3.5, the same intrinsic polymer value, indicating that the precursor membrane is free of defects.
    [069] Convert the precursor fibers into a pyrolyzed fiber membrane module as in Ex. 1 and test the membrane for pure gas permeation also as in Ex. 1. Table 10 below summarizes the transport properties for the membrane. A comparison of this Ex. 7 with Ex. 2 and Ex. 6 shows that the membrane performance is similar to that of Ex. 2 and Ex. 6, thus demonstrating that the carbon membrane derived from 6FDA/DAM also has the selectivity characteristic of mixed olefin/paraffin shown for carbon membrane derived from 6FDA/BPDA/DAM. Table 10*
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU) Ex. 8
    [070] Prepare the precursor fibers using a modification of the process of Ex. 1. First, substitute a commercially available polyimide, MATRIMIDTM 5218 for 6FDA/BPDA-DAM. Second, change the spin dope to comprise 26.2% by weight MATRIMID 5218, 53% by weight NMP, 14.9% by weight EtOH and 5.9% by weight THF, all numbers weight percents being based on the total weight of spinning dope. Third, change the dope and bore fluid flow rates, respectively, to 180 ml/h and 60 ml/h. Fourth, change the spinner temperature to 60°C and the cooling water temperature to 47°C. Fifth, change the distance from 2cm to 10cm and the recoil rate from 5M/min to 15M/min.
    [071] Convert the precursor fibers into a pyrolyzed fiber membrane module as in Ex. 1 and test the membrane for pure gas permeation also as in Ex. 1. Table 11 below summarizes the transport properties for the membrane. Table 13*
    *permeance unit: gas permeation unit (GPU)
    [072] Table 13 shows that the pyrolyzed membrane has permeance values of ethylene and propylene that exceed, respectively, ethane and propane, although a little lower than the permeance values presented above for carbon membranes derived from 6FDA/BPDA- DAM and 6FDA-DAM. The lower permeance values for MATRIMID 5218 may be, in part, due to some infrastructural collapse of the precursor fibers during pyrolysis. The higher permeance values make carbon membranes derived from 6FDA/BPDA-DAM and 6FDA-DAM more desirable than carbon membranes derived from MATRIMID 5218 with respect to treating a feed stream to separate multiple olefins from their corresponding paraffins .
