Notes:
By adjusting the casting conditions, the oxygen permeabilities of poly(4-methyl-pentene-1) (TPX) membranes prepared in this study are in the range of 2.91-7.14 × 10-9 cm3(STP) cm/cm2 s cm Hg and permeability ratio of O2/N2 between 2.7 and 4.4. To increase O2—N2 selectivity, the vinylpyridine is γ-ray irradiation-grafted onto the substrate-TPX membrane. The factors that affect the structure and performance of the grafted membrane considered are: tightness of substrate, kind of solvent for grafting monomers, irradiation conditions, total irradiation dose, and operating temperature and pressure. The O2/N2 selectivities of grafted TPX membranes are significantly improved comparing to that of nongrafted TPX membranes. For example, an O2 permeability of 35.6 × 10-10 cm3(STP) cm/cm2 s cm Hg and an O2/N2 permeability ratio of 7.5 for the grafted membrane can be obtained.
