Composite membranes of poly (methyl methacrylate) blends, their manufacture and their use

摘要

Composite membranes are disclosed having a separation layer comprised of a mixture of poly(methy methacrylate) or a copolymer thereof and at least one cellulosic derivative resulting in enhanced separation and permeating characteristics of the overall composite membrane. Processes for making these composite membranes and the methods of using them are also disclosed. The membranes are particularly useful in gas separation applications and are most suited for the separation of hydrogen from a hydrogen containing stream.
