Abstract

Sorption equilibria and permeation rates for CO 2, O 2 and N 2 in poly(ether imide) (PEI) membrane which has a glass-transition temeperature of 216°C and in poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) (a typical crystalline polymer, crystallinity=0.4) membrane, whose glass-transition temperature is 143°C, were measured at 25, 30 and 40°C and at pressures up to 3 MPa. The pressure dependence of the mean permeability coefficients of PEEK membrane to O 2 and CO 2 obeyed conventional dual-mode mobility model, whereas that of PEI membrane to CO 2 did not follow the conventional dual-mode mobility model. A modified dual-mode mobility model which takes into account four kinds of diffusive movements was satisfactorily used to simulate the pressure dependence.
