2. Description of the Related Art Granular molecular sieve carbon is produced by carbonizing a resin or after-treating activated carbon, and is partially put into practical use for separating nitrogen in air by an adsorption action. Due to its nature, this molecular sieve carbon also has an isomer separation effect like zeolite, and is expected to be used for various separation operations by forming a film. Conventionally, there have been studies on molecular sieve carbon membranes made of polyacrylonitrile, polyfurfuryl alcohol, etc., but these did not show a clear molecular sieve action in gas permeation due to cracks and pinholes. In addition, it is necessary to make the film thinner to put it into practical use as a separation membrane, but due to shrinkage during carbonization, it is difficult to combine it with a supporting substrate such as porous metal or glass, and it is still practical as a separation membrane. Has not reached.

Since the molecular sieve carbon film of the present invention uses as a raw material an aromatic polyimide polymer capable of being carbonized while retaining its shape although it shrinks, it generally has uniform fine pores of 10 angstroms or less. Moreover, there are no cracks that impede the performance of the molecular sieve in permeation, and the separation efficiency is improved. That is, unlike the conventional activated carbon, the molecular sieve carbon membrane which is the product of the present invention has only pores of a molecular level size, so that gas molecules can be sieved by size. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 of the example, with a pore having a pore size of 5 angstroms or less, isobutane having a molecular diameter larger than that does not enter the inside of the membrane, so isobutane can be separated. Therefore, the feature of the molecular sieve carbon membrane of the present invention is that, for gas molecules having different sizes to some extent, it can be almost completely separated by the molecular sieve action by using the molecular sieve carbon membrane prepared to have an appropriate pore size. Secondly, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., whose molecular sizes are not so different, can be separated by an adsorption-diffusion mechanism. In the molecular sieve carbon membrane of the present invention, carbon dioxide, which has a slower molecular motion than helium, has a higher permeation rate (permeation coefficient), which confirms that permeation separation of gas occurs by this mechanism. That is, the ratio of gas permeation coefficients shown in Example 1 is the permeation rate ratio, and C
O 2 / O 2 is 10 times, CO 2 / N 2 is 50 times,
The difference in the performance is remarkable when compared with the transmission rate ratio by the conventional carbon membrane.

The molecular sieve carbon membrane in the present invention is obtained by carbonizing the aromatic polyimide polymer membrane alone as described above, but preferably the composite of the aromatic polyimide polymer membrane and the porous support is used. It is preferred to carbonize the membrane. In this case, when an aromatic polyimide is used as the material of the porous support, the contraction rate at the time of carbonization of the support and the carbon film becomes equal, so there is no crack that hinders the molecular sieve performance, and very A carbon membrane having a thin molecular sieve carbon layer can be obtained.

Example 1 A single molecular sieve carbon membrane (20 μm) was prepared from a poly-4,4'-oxydiphenylenepyromellitimide film, and its characteristic values were first determined. Carbonization was performed in an argon atmosphere at a temperature rising rate of 3 ° C / min up to 800 ° C. From the adsorption isotherm, it is clear that normal membranes (5 angstroms or less) are developed in this membrane, but normal butane can penetrate into the membrane (Fig. 1). Its gas permeability coefficient (20 ° C.) is 7.5 × 10 −9 and 5.1 × 10 with respect to hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and isobutane, respectively.

Example 2 The same polymer as in Example 1 was used to prepare a composite polymer membrane in which a dense polyimide thin layer was supported on a porous polyimide substrate (thickness 0.1 mm). Carbonization was performed under the same conditions as above, and the dense layer was converted into a molecular sieve carbon layer. The gas permeation rate of this membrane was about 100 times faster than the single membrane, but the permeation coefficient ratio between each gas was the same,
It was shown that the molecular sieve carbon layer did not have cracks and the like due to compounding.
